records messages timeless
A record is a message, timeless.
soul substance corporations
Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul; it's lacking substance, and it's difficult to find good stuff. There are too many corporate interests. It's not about the actual music because it's about the corporation, and music just becomes part of a package.
running care four
I run four times a week. And I don't count miles - I don't do that. I don't care about that. I care about how I feel, and I run according to how I feel.
rights government voice
I've spent a lot of time in America since Sept. 11, 2001. Being here, I was noticing that the people, who in the '60s used to voice their opinions about their rights, are much different today. People are afraid to voice opposition to the government in a mass way.
country together problem
If African countries can unite and pull resources together, then that will be the best thing we could ever do for the problems in Africa including AIDS.
fighting talking action
Screaming, it's not me. I tried it before! Action is more my thing. Not talking. It's hard for me to have word fights, fighting with words. I'd rather just listen.
father ideas world
The idea of who my father is to me is very different than who he is to you, or to the rest of the world.
running thinking people
The people don't run the system; the people are victims of the system. The people choose the leaders thinking that they will help them. But when they turn around, there is no help.
father natural
It's natural that anyone is compared to their father.
money people political
The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It's about what generates money, not about what benefits the people.
causes reggae easy
Reggae music is not an easy music to like when it comes to the power in society. 'Cause it talks about changing society. You won't find it readily accepted,
sorry heart no-hope
If there is no love in your heart - so sorry, Then there is no hope for you - true, true
artist accomplishment want
My greatest accomplishment is the freedom for doing what I want to do with my music...I love my freedom so I'm happy I am a free artist.
sunshine moon government
I come to sing for the people, not for the government. God made the sunshine for everyone and made the moon for everyone. We have to follow his example so we have to play music for everyone too. We have a message, and in order for our message to reach the people, we have to play.
