I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.

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

I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.

Greed has taken the whole universe, and nobody is worried about their soul.

But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.

People called rock & roll 'African music.' They called it 'voodoo music.' They said that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a flash in the pan - the same thing that they always used to say about hip-hop.

I thank God for making me a man.
