I'm never gonna quit, cause quitting' just ain't my schtick.

I went to jail at 16 for stealing tires off Cadillacs. When I got out I said, Never again.

I never learned to read or write music. Never wanted to fool with scales. That was boring, forced. The music I heard was free - flowing.

I woke up when I was 14 and went to speak to my mother and scared us both to death.

No one could understand the bond between me and my brother. I struggled to understand the forces that drove his soul in one direction and mine in another.

I'm so thankful that your mine, your sweetness is my weakness.

I've always loved War's Low Rider and Sly Stone's Thank You, and I just wanted to put my take on them.
