And I keep on fighting for the things I want. Though I know that when you're dead you can't. But I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave.

I don't know where life will lead me, but I know where I've been. I can't say what life will show me, but I know what I've seen. Tried my hand at love and friendship, but all that is passed and gone. This little boy is moving on.

I had the global outlook that I really wanted to capture the world. I would like the attention of the world at least and I wanted that.

In the country, people are kind. In the city, people are hard an' cold, like the concrete and steel.

Certain artists have a role to echo the echoes of the people and that's what I'll be doing on my next album.

Social justice has always been a part of my inspiration. For example, when the Vietnam War was going on, I wrote a song about that.

I've done a lot of things to become what I've become, out to create and establish a musical form and I call it movie.
