I feel like I'm too busy writing history to read it.

I refuse to accept other people's ideas of happiness for me. As if there's a 'one size fits all' standard for happiness.

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

They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus, that means guns, sex, lies, video tapes, but if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?

If you see a black family, it's looting, but if it's a white family they are looking for food.

I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they're looting, if you see a white family it says they're looking for food.

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.'

Nothing in life is promised except death.
