People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing – continue to rock it – because obviously, God wants you here.

I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn’t have the recognition that I have now.

I don’t really believe in the type of pressure that people are wanting to put on the type of music that I make.

I don’t do black music, I don’t do white music. I do everyday life music.

God to me is love.

So the next time you feel like the world’s about to end, I hope you studied, because he’s testing your faith again.

My word will never be as strong as God’s word. All I am is just a vessel, doing His work.

I’d rather not live like there isn’t a god, then die and find out there really is.

Life will put many red lights in front of you, but sometimes we must push on the gas and trust God.

The sky can fall down, the wind can cry now. The strong in me, I still smile.

I don’t want to be something that just comes and goes.

Just let me be me, That’s the only way I know.

I’ve been called a recluse. There’s definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.

If I can use my platform to carry on a legacy and talk about something that’s real, I have to do that, period.

Build your own pyramids, write your own hieroglyphs.

When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.
