I woke up one morning, went downstairs, said 'Good morning' to my mother and nearly scared both of us to death.'

The cops picked me up for attempted murder. I can still see the detectives, licking their chops. Thought they had me. Two weeks later, the cat came out of a coma and told the truth. I was innocent.

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

I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound and knowing the music business the way I do - all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.

Leave me alone. I'm fine.
