While You Have People Who

I Think My Vice Would Be Outdoing Myself.

Color Don't Tell If People Black. It's The Soul.

At First, I Was Scared To Show Fear Because You Can Never Be Sure How People Will Perceive You. But I Dared Myself To Do That, To Stand Out. Now I'll Talk About Being Beaten Up Or Robbed Or Making A Stupid Decision Because Of A Girl Or Whatever.

There Are So Many People Pulling At Me At One Time - Some Want The Business, Some Want My Love, Some Just Want My Support, Just To Be There Or To Acknowledge Them The Same Way I Used To. To Be Able To Figure That Out Is An Ongoing Process, Because There's Always Another Show, Another Album, Another Moment That I Don't Want To Miss. But I'm Pacing Myself. I Hope The Powers That Be Keep Me On A Straight Course.

I'm Listening To A Lot Of Oldies.a Lot Of Al Green, Marvin Gaye. Luther Vandross... They Were Some Of My Icons.
