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.

All I had was the will and the love for music. I couldn't read music or write it. No connections, no car, no money, no bankroll, no clothes, no nothing.

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.

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.

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

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.

Most families had four, five brothers. But because it was just me and Darryl, we had to be twice as strong.
