bitter bring came fight glad high longest straight time tomorrow
I'm very bitter about how I've been treated, there are some things I want to bring into the light, I'm glad I came here. This is the longest time I've been straight and sober. But if I wanted to get high tomorrow - my drug of choice-I could do it in this penitentiary. It comes with the territory. But I fight the feeling.
board captain challenge chapel choices deliver grand marry princess reception resort sea ships type vacation vacations wedding
The Grand Princess is going to have the first wedding chapel at sea where the captain can actually marry you and you can have your reception on board. The choices on board these ships are second-to-none, and I would challenge any resort vacation to deliver the type of vacations that these new grand-class ships are going to deliver.

I can't hang out as loose as I used to, but I can still go down Jefferson Avenue and look in the faces of winos, pimps and junkies, all the things I'm made of.
rapper artist sampling
I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn't have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling... I'm the most sampled artist in history.

facts doe closed-minded
Anybody that's old and closed-minded does not like Rick James... They don't like the fact that I'm free and I'm wide open.
tired thinking old-things
I think the people are just looking for freedom in music...There's a lot of she-bop she-bop going on out there. Maybe they're tired of that same old thing.

If anything I consider myself non-violent. I'm from the hippy era, peace, love, groovy.
