I Don't Sing A Song Unless I

Do It Right Or Don't Do It At All. That Comes From My Mom. If There's Something I Want To Do, I'm One Of Those People That Won't Be Satisfied Until I Get It Done. If I'm Trying To Sing Something And I Can't Get It, I'm Going To Keep At It Until I Get Where I Want It.

I'd Like To Think That When I Sing A Song, I Can Let You Know All About The Heartbreak, Struggle, Lies And Kicks In The Ass I've Gotten Over The Years For Being Black And Everything Else, Without Actually Saying A Word About It.

I Used To Sing Like Nat King Cole. I Mean He Was The Guy When I Was Comin' Up, And You Know, Man, People Used To Say Of Me, "damn, He Sure Do Sound Like Nat King Cole." But There Was A Day, And Luckily For Me It Was Early, When I Woke Up And Asked Myself, "well, When Are The Ask Me To Sing Because I Sound Like Me?" So My Advice Is, Never Do Anything That You Don't Like.

I Just Want To Make My Mark, Leave Something Musically Good Behind.

What I've Got To Live Up To, Is Being Myself. If I Do That, The Rest Will Take Care Of Itself.
