I love being American, and I love family. I love having a family, and I feel so blessed, and I feel like God gave me exactly what I wanted, so now I have to do the right thing in God's eyes also. Just follow what God wants me to do.

If you see a black family, it's looting, but if it's a white family they are looking for food.

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race - racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic - what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.

I love being American, and I love family. I love having a family, and I feel so blessed, and I feel like God gave me exactly what I wanted, so now I have to do the right thing in God's eyes also. Just follow what God wants me to do.

I am God's vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to god, and keep your face to the raising sun.

Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It's rage, it's creativity, it's pain, it's hurt, but it's the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music.

I liberate minds with my music. That's more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.

For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a definition of success.

I love sleep; it's my favorite.
