I Mean, Rick James Was Just A

I Was Going To Get Drafted, But I Didn't Really Want To Go Into The Army.

I Get Some Letters From Girls That If Their Mothers Knew What They Were Writing Me In These Letters, They'd Get Their Butts Whipped.

Anybody That's Old And Closed-minded Does Not Like Rick James... They Don't Like The Fact That I'm Free And I'm Wide Open.

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 Had Always Been A Free Spirit, And Always Gotten What I Wanted.
