I Never Wanted To Give Up My

I Don't Have To Really Be In The 60s. Every Time I Hail A Cab In New York, And They Pass Me By And Pick Up The White Person, Then I Get A Dose Of It. Or When They Don't Want To Take You To Harlem. I Grew Up With That.

Life Is So Much Bigger, Grander, Higher, And Wider Than We Allow Ourselves To Think.

I Really Don't Know How To Be Anyone Else, And Whenever I Try To Be Anyone Else, I Fail Miserably. Or I Disappoint Myself. It Doesn't Build My Self-esteem, And It Doesn't Help Me Grow Me At All.

Be Bold, Be Brave Enough To Be Your True Self.

I Lost Relatives To Aids, A Couple Of My Closest Cousins. I Lost Friends To Aids, High-school Friends Who Never Even Made It To Their 21st Birthdays In The '80s. When It's That Close To You, You Can't Really Deny It, And You Can't Run From It.
