I don't think that my lyrics are over-laced with profanity, because I myself don't speak using a lot of profanity in normal conversation.

It's better to use a curse word than to hurt somebody else, I find.

I believe that you are not stuck with a pre-destiny. I believe that there is ways to see all these things that are laid down in front of you and where you belong and to smack yourself in the face when you realize that you've strayed off your path and get back to where your path is.
