I'm in love with mary jane. she's my main thing. she makes me feel alright. she makes my heart sing. and when I'm feeling low, she comes as no suprise. turns me on with her love, takes me to paradiiiiise do you love me mary jane, yeah now do you think you love me mary jane don't you play no game.

I just live one day at a time.

I went to India, lived, and studied.

I'm trying to change the root of funk, trying to make it more progressive, more melodic and more lyrically structured.
