More quotes by Kendrick Lamar
My rights, my wrongs, I write ‘til I’m right with God.
Kendrick Lamar
The people definitely shape the two, put stamps and classify mainstream and underground music.
Kendrick Lamar
I wanted the next family to hurt, because you made my family hurt. Them emotions were still running in me... Whether I'm a rap star or not, if I still feel like that, then I'm part of the problem rather than the solution.
Kendrick Lamar
I like to let things breathe.
Kendrick Lamar
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.
Kendrick Lamar
It's a long time coming as far as the work that I put in. Now I know that I got the stamp but what counts is what comes behind. That's what's really important. Upholding that stamp and not only keeping the energy my way but also spreading that energy out to other artists that are coming up on the West Coast.
Kendrick Lamar
It's easy to forget who you are.
Kendrick Lamar
Teenagers expressing this on a daily basis in the middle of the streets - you can't help but believe we are in the mind state of taking our losses and changing people's perceptions of us and our community. We are strong. Our families are tired of being hurt.
Kendrick Lamar
I'm African American / I'm African / I'm black as the moon.
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
That's the ultimate thing I want to do in making music - to be able to inspire somebody else.
Kendrick Lamar
Just let me be me, That's the only way I know.
Kendrick Lamar
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
What is love? Love to me is god.
Kendrick Lamar
I penetrate the hearts of good kids and criminals
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
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
I'm constantly thinking.
Kendrick Lamar
We all get distracted, the question is, would you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Kendrick Lamar
I stole a Bible, is that a sin?
Kendrick Lamar
