In an interview with MTV, the 24-year-old revealed that he is driven to inspire young people with his music.
Roth said: "I don't wanna be one of those dudes that's just like one, two, three years and I'm out. Make a quick dollar. Let me go invest this in real estate. I see the opportunity to affect lives in a positive way.
"I see these 13-year old kids that get a hold of me and be like, 'Yo, you changed my life'. Am I 100 percent fulfilled? No. Not even remotely yet. But that's a good thing. Hopefully, I'mma stick around for a decade and be a voice of the next 10 years.
"So when people look back, they said I actually added something instead of putting a pop song out that was popular."
Earlier this month, Roth assured his fans that there would be "dope, fun music" on his upcoming second album.
