I live by the beat like you live check to check. If you don't move your feet then I don't eat, So we like neck to neck.
Your white tee, well to me, looks like a nightgown; Make your mama proud, take that thing two sizes down.
I rarely drink, I don't smoke, so my vice is probably creating. I'm addicted to creating. And women.
I'm a fan of making things that I've seen but couldn't purchase, or things I bought that didn't fit the way I like.
It's harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.
If you look at old football pictures, the jerseys were hanging, the sleeves were dangling, but now everything is tucked and tailored.
I had six silly tattoos done when I was young and I bitterly regret them. I've thought about laser surgery, but that leaves a scar, so I'm just leaving them.
The rap game has to save itself. Everybody's saving it. People like Lil Wayne is saving it. He's bringing energy to it.
With music, you can portray a certain thing, but in film, sometimes you have to let yourself go to a point where that can be attractive to a person, that you're willing to let yourself go that much. It works both ways.
As a rapper, I don't freestyle. I used to freestyle when I used to get drunk, and it didn't matter.
I don't mind opinions, because you like something or you don't like something, but to say things about your personal life? I'm like, "Man, let me quit reading this. 'Cause I'll stab everybody."
I'm a vegan, but I like to look good, too.
