I distrust the wisdom if not the sincerity of friends, who would hold my hands while my enemies stab me.

I'm lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earth's last love. I will take life's final offering, I will take the last human blessing.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.

When I talk to kids, I'm really listening. When I do that, we have a little bit of a bigger connection than me being Kendrick Lamar and you being a student. It's almost like we're friends. Because a friend listens.

There's not an instruction manual on how to deal with success, so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team.
