"Since day one, since the first time..." - Quote by Kendrick Lamar

“As I've grown as an artist, I've learned that my mission statement is really self-expression. I don't want anybody to classify my music. I want them to say, "This is somebody who's recognizing his true feelings, his true emotions, ideas, thoughts, opinions, and views on the world, all on one record." I want people to recognize that and to take it and apply it to their own lives. You know what I'm saying? The more and more I get out and talk to different people, I realize they appreciate that - me being unapologetic in whatever views and approach I have.”

“A dollar might turn to a million and we all rich that's just how i feel”

“Black and brown pride have been taught in my household for a long time.”

“For with slight efforts how should we obtain great results? It is foolish even to desire it.”

“The desire of appearing clever often prevents our becoming so.”

“Reach Up Your Hand... and take a star.”

“Do what you do so well - and so uniquely - that people can't resist telling others about you”

“The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.”

“The seventh factor of the basic ingredients of genius, as determined from an extensive analysis of the lives of outstanding men of this nation, is *the habit of going the extra mile.* You will never be a genius unless you make it a habit to do more and better than you are paid to do, every single day of your life.”
