They ask me how Im doing. I say better than I deserve

A lot of time, the music reflects reality, which reflects music.

Folks working late, I had a babysitter. I ain't about to sit here and name her. I was almost 8 when she came in late, woke me up with a game to play. Did a few things that it's hard to say. Told me to keep that secret safe. I'm trying to act like it ain't real. Had my innocence just stripped from me, and I still don't know how to feel.

I live by the spirit so I don't gratify all them old sinful desires that never satisfy.

I consider what I do soul music, it's music that is concerned with the soul.

Instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of thorns, be grateful the thorn bush has roses. Perspective.

Character isn't who you are when life goes your way. Character is who you really are when the bottom falls out.
