As musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment - and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society.

Powerful women are a threat in any society which is why I am such a target.

One day I'm gonna bust, blow up on this society. Why did you lie to me? I couldn't find a trace of equality.

I am society's child. This is how they made me and now I'm sayin' what's on my mind and they don't want that. This is what you made me, America.

The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.

I'm 23 years old. I might just be my mother's child, but in all reality, I'm everybody's child. Nobody raised me; I was raised in this society.
