I don't like authority.

I'm humble and got a brain.

I like to reflect on the past.

I spoil the hell out of my kids.

I don't give a damn what I wear.

I'm Jewish when it comes to money.

People need to think about their actions.

I'm not dumb by a long shot. I'm just bad.

I feel like I had more fun when I was young.

Everybody don't have a Bentley in real life.

My favorite Gucci tape/record is 'Sun Valley.'

Drake genuine. I feel like he's a genuine person.

I ain't never filled out no application in my life.

I got two kids. I ain't tryna die. Or get locked up.

I don't really think voting changes nothing, personally.

Rapping just gave me something to do versus the streets.

It makes me feel good just to know that I'm touching people.

That'd be a dream come true to work with Beyonce or Rihanna.

Most of the time, I just talk about me or what I experience.

I grew up listening to everything, really. I like a lot of R&B.

If everybody was lyrical, everybody's songs would sound the same.

I'm not a social media, like, Internet type, news and politics type.

I'm Ifa. I grew up practicing Ifa, my mom is Ifa, my whole family is Ifa.

That's what I think stand out about me, because of this tattoo on my face.

I'm African-American. I'd rather follow an African religion. That's my heritage.

I know, when you make certain decision, you gotta know certain stuff gon' happen.

If you're from the hood and you black, you're going to have some type of music in your life.

Ever since I've been saving money and not spending it on jewelry, I've been getting way richer.

It's really important for me to show kids that there are other ways to get rich beyond rapping.

I wanted to become a rapper after I got shot. I rapped before, but I ain't want to be no rapper.

Keep da money, cars, fame, and jewelry, and jus give me all the happiness - I'll be good forever.

Every time I meet someone who's very, very rich - like, wealthy - I've never seen them with jewelry on.

I don't think people really understand how hard it is to be black. Especially when you coming from nothing.

I don't care about what nobody say or how nobody feel. I'm happy, I'm living my life, and that's what it is.

All I watch is war movies. The stories be touching... just to see what they go through on both sides of the fence.

I wanna make it cool for kids to get into tech, startups, and entrepreneurship - cooler than buying a bunch of jewelry.

Now that I do have money in my bank account, I want to help kids with a background similar to mine to get smart about their money.

I'll go to Mars, even if I got there and died on the way back. It's just the opportunity. How many people can say they went to Mars?

I might rap about a lot of stuff, but that's just a reflection about what I've been through. But in real life, everything I do is positive.

Even if I ain't the famous-est, the richest, the best - as long as I know I kept it real and didn't backstab nobody - I sleep good at night.

I started the 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign, and it's to help kids learn how to save money and make money, and open bank accounts for kids.

I want to give back to the community, help the kids, get them uniforms, books, book bags, everything they need... just do better. That's where it starts: the kids.

Role model, as far as my kids, I try to be more like a superhero than a role model 'cause I don't want them to go through what I went through, like, growing up and stuff.

That's the only thing I don't like - people always got something to say about my life. I don't know nothing about their life. People just judge you when they don't even know you.

I just feel like I'm becoming a better person. My music is just getting better. Learning the game better, learning how to move, learning how to create - everything's just growing.

Every artist that I got with me is really from the hood and really from Atlanta and really in the streets of Atlanta. Lotto Savage, Mookie Madri Gra, Freaky D$MG, that who I bring with me; that's all sides of Atlanta.

I stopped wearing jewelry for a couple of reasons. One is because everybody wears jewelry. I outgrew it; I'm getting a little wiser and growing, so... Another reason is because the richest people that I've ever met in my life, they've never had on jewelry.

Giving back to where I grew up means a lot to me. These kids need it, and I use to be one of those kids. Being able to see someone from where you from make it and come back and genuine give back will motivate these kids to do the same for their kids and the community.
