The opposite of love? Vice. Temptation. The negative influences that we have. The bad energy that comes around us and makes us do certain things. To me, it's always been a war between the two.

More quotes by Kendrick Lamar
We're all human at the end of the day, making mistakes. But learn from them is the key.
Kendrick Lamar
There's a lot of other artists doing things outside of that depth that I enjoy - that music that I can actually have fun to, and not be in depth and think about, then I appreciate that.
Kendrick Lamar
I am a sinner....who's probably gonna sin again...Lord forgive me!
Kendrick Lamar
When I look at comedy, it's all self-expression. I apply that same method to my music. I came up listening to N.W.A and Snoop. Like them, it's in me to express how I feel. You might like it or you might not, but I take that stand.
Kendrick Lamar
The times that we are in, it's something that you can only feel in the air. You don't even have to talk about it. You don't need the news or the Internet to watch it. You can walk outside and just feel it.
Kendrick Lamar
I had to come from something, come from a place that was negative and positive but the majority of it is a negative place.
Kendrick Lamar
Eventually you get to this point where you understand what you want to do and get across and sound like.
Kendrick Lamar
We all, we all good people just trying to escape the negative influence that come around us and that's the story of my life, you know? Trying my best to get around the ills and I bumped my head a few times but I think, you know, music is my savior for right now, for me and my whole group.
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.
Kendrick Lamar
We all get distracted, the question is, would you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Kendrick Lamar
I don't even have kids. But at heart, I'm a kid myself.
Kendrick Lamar
The message I'm sending to myself - I can't change the world until I change myself first.
Kendrick Lamar
The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you're making a mistake but let you go on with it, that's when it ruins your mind state as an artist.
Kendrick Lamar
It's the beauty in her, But when the makeup occur, I don't see it, All i see is a blur
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
That's the ultimate thing I want to do in making music - to be able to inspire somebody else.
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 really focus on what my fans will take from it, people living their day-to-day lives. At the end of the day, the music isn't for me it's for people who are going through their struggles and want to relate to someone who feels the same way they do. I've got to go all-in, expressing myself, right there in the moment.
Kendrick Lamar
Color don't tell if people Black. It's the soul.
Kendrick Lamar
I probably spent more time listening to albums than writing songs. But I think that gave me all the tricks in terms of wordplay, from how I pronounced my words to the actual delivery.
Kendrick Lamar
