song trying stories
I try to tell a story musically in a song.
expression laying-down next
It's ecstasy when you're laying down next to me.
subjects picks ifs
Everyone to me has to pick a subject to talk about in music if you're going to be a writer.
baby travel real
I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn't. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You're looking at a real daddy.
brother one-direction soul
No one could understand the bond between me and my brother. I struggled to understand the forces that drove his soul in one direction and mine in another.
people freak
People are always looking for me to be a freak, weird.
workout brother strong
Most families had four, five brothers. But because it was just me and Darryl, we had to be twice as strong.
pimp mind clubs
I didn't mind working in the clubs, but I resented it being a club where pimps hang out. Because the music that I create is of a higher intellect than that. It not only encompasses pimps, but whores, ballplayers, executives... everybody.
baby brother thinking
We forget that this music, music made by my brothers and sisters, is still a baby. It's just beginning. When I think of the possibilities, it makes me smile.
artist black littles
Blacks own so little of the music business, it's pathetic. But I see that changing soon. Black artists, black businessmen and women will unite.
writing clothes car
All I had was the will and the love for music. I couldn't read music or write it. No connections, no car, no money, no bankroll, no clothes, no nothing.
children kids years
If you were a young kid, 19, 20 years old who has two children and a third one on the way and refuses to leave them. A kid who was on welfare, because he refused to steal anybody's property or take anybody's money. You found life a lot tougher.
jail cadillacs tire
I went to jail at 16 for stealing tires off Cadillacs. When I got out I said, Never again.
preacher
One preacher turned me on, another turned me off.
