"I like to let things breathe...." - Quote by Kendrick Lamar

“It's the beauty in her, But when the makeup occur, I don't see it, All i see is a blur”

“I'm a person of my own opinions, that's how I was raised. I speak what I feel... A lot of people feel the same way but they're scared to talk. They're really scared of the truth - they only want half of the truth. I've been living like that - forever in fear - but I know what to say and how to say it now. I ain't scared of myself. Y'all may be scared; I'm not scared.”

“Everybody has their own way of hearing songs. My fans are usually pretty on point. Sometimes they go all the way to the bottom of it. It's fascinating to me how far an idea can go. I wrote most of my first album in my mom's kitchen, and now I can go around the world and hear people recite those lyrics, and understand the story, even though they're not from the same area I grew up in.”

“I don't have much patience for anyone who denies that this challenge is real.”

“I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.”

“Patience is the art of finding something else to do.”

“Now I know that patience and time can do more than even strength and passion. The years of frustration are ready to be harvested. All that I have managed to accomplish, and all that I hope to accomplish, has been and will be by that plodding, patient, persevering process which builds the ant heap, particle by particle, thought by thought, step by step.”

“Writing ... it begins as an amusement, then it becomes a mistress, then a master, and finally a tyrant.”

“I cook every chance in my pot. And only when it is cooked through do I welcome it as my food.”
