mother morning scared
I woke up one morning, went downstairs, said 'Good morning' to my mother and nearly scared both of us to death.'
mother scared speak
I woke up when I was 14 and went to speak to my mother and scared us both to death.
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.
kids giving today
In my day, we didn't have the cocaine, so we went out and knocked somebody over the head and took the money. But today, all this cocaine and crack, it doesn't give kids a chance.
knowledge-wisdom
I'll come to you with gifts of knowledge, wisdom and truth.
boys america
As a boy, I believed freedom for America meant freedom for me. There was a time I believed every word spoken.
song trying stories
I try to tell a story musically in a song.
preacher
One preacher turned me on, another turned me off.
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.
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.
