Lil B Quotes

Singing becomes a form of therapy.

I think a lot of people came into rock n' roll to try to change the world. I came into rock n' roll to make music.

My whole mission in general, ever since I was fourteen, was to write music that would help people heal.

Music can't change the world.

My music is about my life. If it's something that I've lived, then it's something that I've written about.

For me, writing is a kind of coping mechanism.

I find a therapy in playing music, in many different ways.

Through music I either tame my demons or unleash them and allow them to be what they are. I don't want the music to be about provocation, I want the music to bring you to a place where you feel at home.

Music is my release.

Having the opportunity to express myself through music has been extremely cathartic for me my entire life.

At the end of the day, my life isn't about other people's work. I've got to stop giving stuff away. I've got my own stories to tell, and a great need to tell them. I've got these images, these thoughts in my head, and I need to find a way to cope with them.

When I write, it's purging for me. It's a therapeutic process.

Rap is just somebody getting something off his chest. That's all it is.

I do think I was trying to entertain the reader more than I was trying to purge myself.

But I love to entertain. My vocation is to accrue all these experiences, to write about them, to get them out of my system, to not get sick, and then to share them publicly.

Music is my release.

Thirty-three-years-old, still creating art. It's rage, it's creativity, it's pain, it's hurt, but it's the opportunity to still have my voice get out there through music.

For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.

I know people heal by being able to tell the story - the whole story.

For me, music is therapeutic, so the songs that came to me the easiest came from the most devastating moments of my life.

I think the greatest gift to me is that I can express myself in songs. It helps me get through some of the hardest times of my life. It also helps me celebrate some of the best times.

For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is.

Music helps me tell my story. That's where I can really be heard. But there's so much focus on the things that aren't music.

I've been in therapy since I was five, but music goes way, way, way, way, way beyond therapy.

You know the way you tell your life story to a friend? I just told mine to a piano.
