If you think about where I'm from, I'm not supposed to be singing in the first place. I'm not supposed to be alive right now.

I went to New York and Miami and hung out by the beach, and I love the American boys, so I wrote a song about it.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and feel like going straight back to bed. But I still have to get up and work, and I still have to take advantage of the chances I've been given in life.

I remember being, like, the age of 7 and just always being in control of something or someone, a baby somewhere. I had lots of cousins and brothers, and we were all taught that's how you are, you know. Things don't just run themselves; you have to make them run.

For me at age 11, I had a pair of binoculars and looked up to the moon, and the moon wasn't just bigger, it was better. There were mountains and valleys and craters and shadows. And it came alive.

I've got Jesus in my heart. I'm glad to be alive.

I definitely am the best rapper alive, mark my words.

The new, retro pants that are pulled up very high confuse me. I feel like I'm in the eighties. I wasn't even alive in the '80s, but if these pants are any indication of what it was like, I'm sure I wouldn't like that era.

If Lincoln were alive today, he'd be turning over in his grave.
