I'm a mess but God is dealing with me every day. That's what all these songs are about: problem, cause and solution.
We have to make sure the music and the message and the words and all the elements come through in our songs and every time we appear in public.
If I should fall asleep and death takes me away, Don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay.
That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.
My concept of successful living is escaping the matrix, as we've talked about. It has very little to do with what people think success is. I actually feel successful right now, even though I don't have an album out, or a video or a song on the radio, because I'm trying to be obedient to His will.
I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first.
Loving you is like a Song I replay every 3 Minutes and 30 Seconds of every Day...
Being young and female in America, you watch a lot of T.V., and you grow up on false images of what love truly is. We think the man with the best rap will protect and save us, about it's not usually that way. Then you learn love is something deeper and purer in form.
If they only showed Love, they would own love.
Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.
Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas, back stabbers do this
Wow, this is so amazing. I thank God. This is crazy because this is hip-hop music.
I have a couple of all-time favorites: Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
With The Fugees initially, and even with 'Miseducation', it was very hip-hop - always a singing over beats. I don't think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more.
