I got a generation brainwashed to pop pills and smoke pot til they brains rot.

I shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazing the stars.

Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.

If I said in one of my songs that my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in junior high, all I'm saying, is that I'm not gay, you know? People confuse the lyrics for me speaking my mind. I don't agree with that lifestyle, but if that lifestyle is for you, then it's your business.

All my life I've been dealing with my race because of where I grew up [Detroit] and being in the rap game. I'm at a boiling point...Anybody who pulls the race card is getting it right back in their face.

When you feel like you've had it up to here, and you're mad enough to scream, but you're sad enough to tear, that's rock bottom.

I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.
