country hip-hop rolling
From folk to tribal to Cab Calloway, Cole Porter, Gershwin to the Rolling Stones, whose first record was all covers, to country-western, bebop, blues, and even the referencing in classic hip hop to cliched love ballads of the '80s or whatever - that is kinda gone, and that's just terrifying to me.

I'm not a professional entertainer. I'm not Neil Diamond.
believe
Oh I do believe In all the things you see What comes is better Than what came before
long pay becoming
I got told so many times I needed a manager. For a long time I resisted, and I finally got one so I can pay my mortgage, and it helped me from becoming a homeless person.
proud producers needed
I got told I needed a producer I don't know how many times - maybe 27 times, 30? Then I recently got told 'I'm so proud of you.' That was even more great to hear.
kids thinking voice
For me, the moment the mic is on and it's rolling, it's impossible to vocally relax for some reason. But one day, I'm going to be able to sing the way I sang when I was a little kid, completely open and free. That's, I think, the one thing that's changed: Growing older, I'm not ashamed to hear my voice.
self-esteem years play
After my second-to-last record, 'The Greatest', I had gone on tour for a while, and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, or anger toward myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.
tired thinking people
People tend to think I'm insane, and I'm really tired of it.
people
People and their religions don't affect me.
play two fire
If your parents gave you fire to play with when you were two, you'd be standing in fire by the time you were an adult.
impossible clique
I've never had a clique. It's impossible when you're always traveling.
I've always dressed like a dude.
life-is-hard life-is hard
Life is hard and it gets worse and worse and worse.

Never give up, no, never give up If you're looking for something easy You might as well give it up.
