How am I influencing so many people on this stage rather than influencing the ones that I have back home?

I don't vote. I don't do no voting.

My rights, my wrongs, I write ‘til I’m right with God.

Believe in God, it's only one God. F*** all that religion s***. Believe in one God, and do right. Try your best to do right, we ain't perfect. Just do that and everything will be straight.

I can't help the way you was born if you was gay.

Everybody has their own way of hearing songs. My fans are usually pretty on point. Sometimes they go all the way to the bottom of it. It's fascinating to me how far an idea can go. I wrote most of my first album in my mom's kitchen, and now I can go around the world and hear people recite those lyrics, and understand the story, even though they're not from the same area I grew up in.

My mind is living on cloud 9 and this 9 is never on vacation.
