I Didn't Even Think I

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 Was Angry About The Fact That My Father Would Beat My Mother On A Daily Basis, That My Mother Would Like Take It In Turn And Beat On Me. I Was An Abused Child. I Was Mad About All Those Things, Very Bitter And Very Angry.

I Just Live One Day At A Time.

I Wanted To Play The Apollo Theater Because I Didn't Think I Was Going To Be On The Earth Long.

Prison Was A Blessing. Going To Prison Was The Greatest Thing That Happened To Me. It Showed Me That I Wasn't Infallible. It Showed Me That I Was Just Human. It Showed Me That I Can Be Back With My Ghetto Brothers I Grew Up With And Have A Good Time. It Taught Me To Cool Out. It Taught Me Patience. It Taught Me That I Didn't Ever Want To Lose My Freedom. It Taught Me That Drugs Bring On The Devil. It Taught Me To Grow Up.
