Why not start figuring out ways to change the way we treat each other? The way we talk to each other, the way we talk about each other. To love each other. You know it starts off with self-love. We have to love ourselves before we can love anybody else.And the media from day one, from when you were little ass kids, they teach you not to love yourself. They take something out of you and they try to sell it back to you... Something that you__e been fighting for your entire life that__ taken from you as a child. That you always had inside of you. That__ self-love.That's why I love you so much, cause as everybody knows, I love me so much.The greatest gift you have is your now_you don__ know what__ going to happen tomorrow and the past is the past.

I just needed time alone with my own thoughtsGot treasures in my mind but couldn__ open up my own vault

Sometimes when I see a bad performance and people still clap... I wonder if they're clapping because they liked what they saw or because they're happy it's over?

you cut me deep bitch,cut me like surgery.

Having money isn't everything, not having it is.

I am not a fan of books.

..my music isn't just music- its medicine.

My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

Shoot for the stars, so if you fall you land on a cloud.

I believe in myself like a five-year-old believes in himself. They say look at me, look at me! Then they do a flip in the backyard. It won't even be that amazing, but everyone will be clapping for them.

Unbreakable, would you thought they called me Mr. GlassLook back on my life like the ghost of Christmas pastToys R Us where I used to spend that Christmas cashAnd I still won't grow up, I'm a grown ass kidSwear I should be locked up for stupid shit that I didBut I'm a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumphMake music that's fire, spit my soul through the wire

Success is the best revenge.

Black people can be the most conservative, the most discriminating. Especially among ourselves. It wasn't white people who said all black men have to wear baggy jeans.

The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, 'What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?' And, 'How does creativity apply across the board?'

I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'

You don't have to be scared of me, because I am loyal. Why are people so scared of creative ideas and so scared of truth? All I want to do is do good.

I am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to god, and keep your face to the raising sun.
