It's the beauty in her, But when the makeup occur, I don't see it, All i see is a blur
Kendrick Lamar
You can't change where you from. You can't take a person out of their zone and expect them to be somebody else now that they in the record industry. It's gonna take years. Years of travelling. Years of meeting people. Years of seeing the world.

When I go into the studio - it [words] has to sound the way I heard it in my head. So that's probably one of the biggest things that separates me when I'm working in the studio - just how I hear certain things.
Kendrick Lamar
I don't talk about these things if I haven't lived them, and I've hurt people in my life. It's something I still have to think about when I sleep at night.

I think my vice would be outdoing myself.
Kendrick Lamar
I've got an extra-specific story about Dr. Dre. I saw him when I was 9 years old in Compton - him and Tupac. They were shooting the second 'California Love' video. My pops had seen him and ran back to the house and got me, put me on his neck, and we stood there watching Dre and Pac in a Bentley.
Kendrick Lamar
Hip-hop is not the problem, our reality is the problem.
Kendrick Lamar
God to me is love. It's the ruler of all things, whether it's with a person or with music or with your TV. I feel like it's this energy. God is energy, love is energy.
Kendrick Lamar
From what I remember, I remember always being a big fan of Kardinal Offishall. He just had that different flow and different flavor. He put himself on the record and that's the type of energy that we love.
Kendrick Lamar
Eventually you get to this point where you understand what you want to do and get across and sound like.
Kendrick Lamar
[ Drizzy] is a good dude , he's been looked out and reached out, and I admire the talent.
Kendrick Lamar
The message I'm sending to myself - I can't change the world until I change myself first.
Kendrick Lamar
I can be calm and reflective from time to time and other times I can have a burst of energy, that's just me.
Kendrick Lamar
I see conflict. But the conflict is what makes it relatable. I'm conflicted you're conflicted. I'm not perfect - nobody is. I'm just blessed to be able to express my conflict through song.
Kendrick Lamar
What is love? Love to me is god.
