"K. Dot was a kid who was..." - Quote by Kendrick Lamar

“I'm only as good as my last word, my last hook, my last bridge.”

“My folks ain't graduated from high school or nothing like that, so we always had to struggle in the family - and I come from a big family.”

“Since day one, since the first time I touched the pen, I wanted to be the best at what I do.”

“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.”

“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.”

“I wish neither to possess nor to be possessed. I no longer covet 'paradise'. More important, I no longer fear 'hell'. The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning but I did not take it. My ailment came from within myself, but I did not observe it, until this moment. Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.”

“I don't listen to my music if I'm not making it.”

“Wouldst thou know if a people be well governed, or if its laws be good or bad, examine the music it practices.”

“Anything too stupid to be said is sung.”
