I Decided To Build Up

I Didn't Even Think I Would Make It That Long. I Thought I Would Drug Overdose, Like Jimi Hendrix. I Thank God Every Day To Even Be Here.

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.

I'm Finally Locked Into The Now, And It's Great.

My Teacher Said I Would Either Be A Hoodlum, Or A Great Entertainer.

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.
