I Don't Try To Hide Sex In

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.

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.

I'm Not Part Of The Hollywood Scene. I Don't Run Around With 30 Women. I Have A Very Calm Household. I'm Surrounded By My Grandkids And Wonderful Friends, And I Consider Myself Very Lucky.

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.

I'm Trying To Change The Root Of Funk, Trying To Make It More Progressive, More Melodic And More Lyrically Structured.
