I was raised in this society so you can't expect me to be a perferct person cause Ima do what Ima do.

For quiet times disappear listen to the ocean

And did you ever stop to think that im old enough to go to war but i aint old enough to drink.

My music is not for everyone. It's only for the stong-willed, the [street] soldiers music. It's not like party music- I mean, you could gig to it, but it's spiritual. My musi is spiritual. It's like Negro spiituals, except for the fact that I'm not saying 'We shall Overcome.' I'm saying that we are overcome.

Though are hands are chained like they are, they haven't taken music from us yet. So that's how I'll fight. People tell me don't quit like everyone else. I wont have no fear.

Can't nobody touch me right now. Maybe next month all of this will be over. But this month I'm takin' every movin' target out.

Though things change, the future's still inside of me.
