I think that civil rights issues take a lot of time to develop.
If I'm using drugs and alcohol, it means that I've given up on my fullest potential.
I wanted to get clean. I knew that my highest potential, the place that I was most spiritual, the place that I was the most rich in terms of my life, and my livelihood, and my art and my creativity, was when I was sober.
Whatever God you believe in, we come from the same one
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz.
We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us
Gay rights are human rights, there is no separation.
America the brave Still fears what we don't know
The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint The greats were great because they paint a lot
The trust that I once built has been betrayed. But I'd rather live tellin' the truth and be judged for my mistakes, than falsely held up, given props, loved and praised.
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless, Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen, I might not be the same, but that's not important. No freedom 'til we're equal, damn right I support it.
Human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on! And be yourself!
We are what we wear, we wear what we are
One man's trash that's another man's come up.
