fashion looks want
I've been into fashion since birth. I grew up in the 'hood, and everybody in the 'hood wants to compensate for being in poverty, so they want to look good to keep themselves up.
growing-up world want
I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.
inspiration people want
[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.
want way followers
I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they're gonna represent me. And if I'm gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.
wanted models
I wanted to model when I was younger.
cocky people want
I don't want people to get the impression that I got money and now I'm cocky, because I'm not. I'm just a little overly confident.
shoes feet want
If a chick wants to know who makes my shoes, she's got to take them off my feet and look inside.
inspiration want
There's just so much out there and so much inspiration... I just want to be tasteful.
want just-being ordinary
I didn't want to be a loser, but I didn't want to fit in at the same time because I don't like just being ordinary. So it's one of those situations where I always kept my head up.
thinking brain want
I've got so much in my brain and I want to change the way we think sometimes.
gay clothes rights
I haven't been a gay activist. I haven't protested for gay rights or none of that, but one thing I can say is that a lot of the designers I wear are gay and I like their clothes.
new-york rapper
I don't even like New York rappers.
song ems favourite
I don't have any favourite lyrics. Honestly, all of them I love 'em to death - it's the same with songs. I don't have just one favourite lyric, I love them all.
mom kids home
I was ashamed to let anyone know that I was living in a shelter. I remember one time coming home and some kids saw me and were like, "What you doing here? This is a shelter!" But I was like, "My mom's working there." It was pretty embarrassing.
