Kendrick Lamar accepted the BET award for the Best Male Hip-Hop Artist on Sunday night, but most of his acceptance speech was centered around God. Aside from giving God the glory for his award, the 30-year-old rapper honored his industry peer Chance The Rapper by giving him some advice.

"First off all, glory to God all the time. I got to say that," he said before turning his attention to Chance. " Second off, Chance The Rapper, congratulations bro wherever you're at in this crowd. What you're doing, you're just getting started, so keep God with you."

"Seriously. Simple as that."

Lamar then shared his formula for success.

"I've got my family, I've got my team, I've got God," he added. "Simple as that."
