I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.

When the race gets hard to run. It means you just can't take the peace.

Road of life is rocky and you may stumble too, so while you talk about me, someone else is judging you.

The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.

Everything in life is not all beautiful, not all fun. There is lots of killing and drugs. To me, a perfect album talks about the hard stuff and the fun and caring stuff.

You can't find the right roads when the streets are paved.
