There's a time when people give their words to each other it has to mean something. I'm a street cat. I've belonged in gangs and when you had a partner, you went down with your partner whether you won the fight or lost it. You went down together.

We are all gods, all forces of nature. We can destroy, we can build. We are like oceans and like fires.

Been making love for hours and, baby, we're still going strong. Girl, this night is ours and I swear I feel it coming on. All I know is when we get through, I ain't going to be able to move.

Leave me alone. I'm fine.

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

If you were a young kid, 19, 20 years old who has two children and a third one on the way and refuses to leave them. A kid who was on welfare, because he refused to steal anybody's property or take anybody's money. You found life a lot tougher.

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