But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.

It was a way out of poverty. It was a way to success. It was a way to education. And it was a way to a brighter day for me.

But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.

I look back on my life, comin' out of Macon, Georgia - I never thought I'd be a superstar, a living legend. I never heard of no rock and roll in my life.

But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer; that's my livelihood, my occupation.

They shoulda called me Little Cocaine, I was sniffing so much of the stuff! My nose got big enough to back a diesel truck in, unload it, and drive it right out again.

I think they saw me as something like a deliverer, a way out. My means of expression, my music, was a way in which a lot of people wished they could express themselves and couldn't.
