knowledge-wisdom
I'll come to you with gifts of knowledge, wisdom and truth.
writing fool boring
I never learned to read or write music. Never wanted to fool with scales. That was boring, forced. The music I heard was free - flowing.
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.
birthday senior school
I quit high school on my birthday. It was my senior year and I didn't see the point. This was 1962, and I was ready to make music.
leave-me-alone fine leaving-me
Leave me alone. I'm fine.
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.
mother scared speak
I woke up when I was 14 and went to speak to my mother and scared us both to death.
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.
mean cat fighting
There's a time when people give their words to each other it has to mean something. I'm a street cat. I've belonged in gangs and when you had a partner, you went down with your partner whether you won the fight or lost it. You went down together.
girl baby strong
Been making love for hours and, baby, we're still going strong. Girl, this night is ours and I swear I feel it coming on. All I know is when we get through, I ain't going to be able to move.
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.
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.
careers knowing sound
I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound and knowing the music business the way I do - all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.
heart hands commit
When I commit, I commit with my whole heart, my whole being. I know the Bible like the back of my hand.
