I'm standing on a field full of landmines doing the moonwalk hoping i blow up in time
Don't you know your imperfections is a wonderful blessing, from heaven is where you got it from
I'd rather not live like there isn't a God Then die and find out there really is Think about it
God to me is love. It's the ruler of all things, whether it's with a person or with music or with your TV. I feel like it's this energy. God is energy, love is energy.
I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey.
Consequences from evil will make your past haunt you
A dollar might turn to a million and we all rich that's just how i feel
I cut off my ears before i hear your advice and vice versa
What is love? Love to me is god.
I always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I've learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, 'cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.
You really can't categorize my music, it's human music.
When you go on your Twitter or look down your Timeline and it's all great positivity - I love that. But at the same time, it can really divert you from what your purpose is or what you're trying to do. And I've seen artists get caught up in that.
I can say is if anyone gets a chance to work with [Dr.]Dre, it's a moment you will always take with you throughout your career. And as of right now, the Compton album is the only thing to talk about.
The worst part of success is, to me, adapting to it. It's scary.
