I've never considered myself a lyricist, but I have stuff to say.

As a lyricist, I'm really trying to raise my level of quality.

I don't want to work on a musical if I'm not the lyricist.

I speak from the heart. Certain people follow lyricists and people that put words on a dictionary together, and this and that. I'm more of a rapper that speaks how I feel. I just tell it how it is.

I'm not tryin' to come off as the best lyricist.

As a writer, as a lyricist, you're just trying to make sure that you're not repeating yourself. And that's a danger for a lot of people. So for me, I just try to keep taking corners and trying to find new paths.

As a lyricist, you love to hear other great lyrics or other great concepts.

My skills are musical, not lyrical.

I love a good lyricist - always have. The thing that inspired me most was the different performers, like Tina Turner, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna, even Janet Jackson.

I am really heavy into songwriting.
