I've made some leaps and bounds as an underground artist.

I come from a musical family as well as a culinary family.

I think the main focus in America is - is basically greed.

I've learned that I'm most powerful when I'm doing my art.

I can't really even name a person I like in hip-hop music.

The beats are like scripts, and the raps are my monologue.

If you just freestyle, everybody is gonna go, 'Freestyle.'

I believe in pushing my records until the wheels fall off.

With the Lord behind us they're ain't nothing we can't do.

Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one

I tried to keep us together, you were busy keeping secrets

I'm in the mood to get faded, so please bring your finest.

I could teach you how to speak my language, Rosetta Stone.

What we're showing may not be your reality, but it's ours.

I am my own mentor. I like to listen to myself to improve.

Theres a lot of females that hustle, just like men hustle.

The only crime I'm guilty of is being a young black woman.

I'm not a big video game dude though, but I like 'Madden.'

I will keep - try - to be, like, on a new level every day.

I think when people get comfortable is when they fall off.

It's a really good time for California right now in music.

Keeping in touch with the people that matter is important.

I write stories, I don't just write rhymes, I write books.

I would collaborate with James Franco as a rapper any day.

I write rhymes with addition and algebra, mental geometry.

I'll leave you fulla clips like the moon blockin' the sun.

You can not change the past but you can change the future.

I'll throw ya gang-sign up, and then I'll spit on my hand.

You stackin cheddar cause you working at the burger place.

It ain't about going backwards. It's about moving forward.

Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son, aint nothin nice

Emotionally I'm an introvert but it come off as aggression

The ones that hate you most tend to be the people you know

You have to be intimate with a person to know that person.

I never go into a situation with any type of expectations.

Starstruck with one buck, your girl look like Donald Duck.

I think people get mad because I make more direct records.

My perspective is a lil different 'cus im from Manhattan .

Money cannot purchase joy. It buys temporary distractions.

I grew up and still didn't know what it meant to be a man.

I rock with Chance, I rock with Kanye, I rock with Common.

My message is just showing people how I came from nothing.

I love performing live: it's my very favorite thing to do.

Make jokes. No stress. Love. Live Life. Proceed. Progress.

I don't need it to be easy. I just want it to be worth it.

"Love me or hate me, I promise it won't make or break me."

Take dem shoes off your teeth and stop running your mouth.

I was still in school after I dropped my first solo album.

I'm one of those people that just likes to be comfortable.

The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
