baby brother thinking
We forget that this music, music made by my brothers and sisters, is still a baby. It's just beginning. When I think of the possibilities, it makes me smile.
brother one-direction soul
No one could understand the bond between me and my brother. I struggled to understand the forces that drove his soul in one direction and mine in another.
workout brother strong
Most families had four, five brothers. But because it was just me and Darryl, we had to be twice as strong.
excited fooling
I started fooling around with the intro to one of the songs. Then another song, and another. I was so excited when I went into the studio.
blacks business changing music women
Blacks own so little of the music business it's pathetic. But I see that changing soon. Black artists, black businessmen and women will unite.
biggest book lessons problem
The biggest problem I had was remembering accurately. The book is about the lessons I've learned, things I went through and endured.
subjects picks ifs
Everyone to me has to pick a subject to talk about in music if you're going to be a writer.
baby travel real
I kept my babies fed. I could have dumped them, but I didn't. I decided that whatever trip I was on, they were going with me. You're looking at a real daddy.
kids giving today
In my day, we didn't have the cocaine, so we went out and knocked somebody over the head and took the money. But today, all this cocaine and crack, it doesn't give kids a chance.
mother morning scared
I woke up one morning, went downstairs, said 'Good morning' to my mother and nearly scared both of us to death.'
strong mama streets
Mama tried to save us from the streets, but the streets were too strong.
jail cadillacs tire
I went to jail at 16 for stealing tires off Cadillacs. When I got out I said, Never again.
people freak
People are always looking for me to be a freak, weird.
knowledge-wisdom
I'll come to you with gifts of knowledge, wisdom and truth.
