mind looks
We can all be free Maybe not with words Maybe not with a look But with your mind
brain problem guts
I got more guts than brains, and that's my problem.
kids joy littles
I still haven't been able to capture the joy of what it's like when I sing - you know, when I'm by myself, or like when I was a little kid.
mistake trying better-person
We're always going to remind ourselves of our mistakes and how we do things differently, trying to be a better person or whatever.
self-esteem years play
After my second-to-last record, 'The Greatest', I had gone on tour for a while, and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, or anger toward myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.
kids thinking voice
For me, the moment the mic is on and it's rolling, it's impossible to vocally relax for some reason. But one day, I'm going to be able to sing the way I sang when I was a little kid, completely open and free. That's, I think, the one thing that's changed: Growing older, I'm not ashamed to hear my voice.
long pay becoming
I got told so many times I needed a manager. For a long time I resisted, and I finally got one so I can pay my mortgage, and it helped me from becoming a homeless person.
tired thinking people
People tend to think I'm insane, and I'm really tired of it.
mistake making-mistakes i-make-mistakes
I am human and I make mistakes.
rocks hip-hop hips
Hip-hop and R&B is mostly what I listen to. I don't have a connection with punk rock - I just never had that experience.
