We Should Care About What Is Going

Even If You Can Sing Or Even If You Can Write A Song, It Takes A Lot Of Determination, It Takes Some Kind Of Thick Skin, Because You Got To Persevere Despite The Fact That People Tell You You Shouldn't Do This Or You Shouldn't Do That Or You're Not Good Enough Or Your Style's Too Different. I've Heard All Of That Stuff.

But In My Mind I've Always Been A Solo Artist- I've Just Been Working With A Lot Of Great People Like Kanye And Alicia Keys And Jay-z.
