Drake could diss me 20,000 times, and I would never diss him. I'm a fan.

A lot of times, people won't be 100 percent real with their story, and I wanted to give people the drawn-out experience of the perseverance and the struggle that it took to get here.

God put me on this earth to bring souls back to the Kingdom of God. You don't need to pray ten times a day - you just need hope. My music is going to stop war; it's the healing music. I see myself in Brazil, in Syria, in Darfur, and places where they really need hope.

My outlook was, 'You're not my moms; you can't tell me what to do.' I got expelled from about 20 schools.

I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.

I started rapping because my mom died when I was about 11 years old, and I was a very rebellious kid. I've been kicked out of every school I've ever been in since 6th grade on, expelled and dropped out in the 11th grade. Music was the only thing that I could really use to express myself, so I started rapping.
