I Was Really Kind Of Shy As

I Thank God For Elvis Presley. I Thank The Lord For Sending Elvis To Open The Door So I Could Walk Down The Road.

People Called Rock & Roll 'african Music.' They Called It 'voodoo Music.' They Said That It Would Drive The Kids Insane. They Said That It Was Just A Flash In The Pan - The Same Thing That They Always Used To Say About Hip-hop.

I Am The Innovator. I Am The Originator. I Am The Emancipator. I Am The Architect Of Rock 'n' Roll!

I Got Fame And Fortune, And I Lost My Sense Of Reasoning.

Like, My Mother Would Have Company Over, And I Would Sing So They'd Pay Attention To Me.
