I said if you're thinkin' of being my brother, it don't matter if you're black or white.

Black people still call me Prince. Sometimes I ask them, "Why do you call me Prince?" And people say, "Because you are a prince to us." Usually when they say that, you know my heart goes out and I have to say, "I don't mind your calling me that."

The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

All our lives we sweat and save, Building for a shallow grave.

As sure as God made black and white, what's done in the dark will be brought to the light.

Until things are brighter.. I'm the man in black.
