people
People love me everywhere I go.
song wells
Some of my songs I don't do on tour because they don't work well live.
mistake interesting done
Sometimes my mistakes turn into interesting music because I do things that aren't supposed to be done.
father ideas world
The idea of who my father is to me is very different than who he is to you, or to the rest of the world.
political tools social
Using political tools to change social conditions won't work.
inspired
I'm inspired to do music. I really can't stop unless I stop being inspired.
heart justice people
I want the people who listen to my music to feel the feeling that I feel, to cry the cry that I cry - justice. I want them to feel in their hearts the need for justice.
moving somewhere-else america
I've been in Africa, America, moving around a lot. It's helped me to open up my mind. I was born in Jamaica; I've lived all my life there and got all I could from Jamaica. But I needed to be somewhere else to grow.
running kids america
It's very important that we instill some respect for the parents. In America especially, the kids are unruly, screaming at Mommy and Daddy, running the show.
fun inspiration people
'Master Blaster,' by Stevie Wonder, is up-tempo and fun, like Stevie himself. Stevie's always making jokes; he really knows how to put people at ease. He's one of my inspirations, as a musician and a person.
strong father boys
My father, we bumped heads when I was younger, much younger... I had different ideas that I shared with him. He didn't like them as much. He gets upset or whatever. I guess I had a strong opinion from when I was a little boy.
father book
I've never read one book about my father.
spiritual sides beats
I'm not so much into the beats. I'm more into the spiritual side of the music.
interesting people trying
I try to make my music interesting to me first, then hopefully other people will find it interesting, too.
