I Was Going To Get Drafted, But

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.

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.

You And I, We'll Be Together 'til The Six Is Nine.

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