I am a black man dedicated to expression; expression of the joy and pride of blackness. I consider myself neither poet, composer, or musician. These are merely tools used by sensitive men to carve out a piece of beauty or truth that they hope may lead to peace and salvation.
Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something.
Every show that sells out is like a hero's welcome for me.
Angel dust won't go away. Somefolks who were smoking it were going away.
The revolution that takes place in your head, nobody will ever see that.
I don't think people in power have the potential to do anything like that to me. I feel as though as long as our music is available, folks are going to hear it.
