I’ve experienced many hardships‚ but mentally‚ I’ve always been older‚ and that reflects in my actions‚ too.

It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn’t know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.

Even when we have physical hardships, we can be very happy.

Let’s face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.

Until we’re rotten, we cannot be ripe.

Before rap I had friends, got a deal, I ain’t got shit Just tryna get rich, cause my people kinda struggled. Couple tenure niggas poor, but the hood still love me Lil Durk.

I was 17 and out of school, living with my mom, starving, not eating, getting locked up, no focus, no guidance. When you ain’t got no guidance, you can’t do too much. But then I had my first son and started working. I got the right people around me.

It’s hard to love a woman and do anything.

Instead of letting your hardships and failures discourage or exhaust you, let them inspire you. Let them make you even hungrier to succeed.
