I Never Use That Word,

When You Don't Have Much Money, You Worry That They'll Just Put You In The Ground Someplace And Your Loved Ones Won't Know Where You Are.

It Seems Like I Always Had To Work Harder Than Other People. Those Nights When Everybody Else Is Asleep, And You Sit In Your Room Trying To Play Scales. I Just Wonder Where I Was When The Talent Was Being Given Out, Like George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Eric Clapton ... Oh, There's Many More! I Wouldn't Want To Be Like Them, You Understand, But I'd Like To Be Equal, If You Will.

I Don't Like Anybody To Be Angry With Me. I'd Rather Have Friends.

I Don't Think Anybody Steals Anything; All Of Us Borrow.

I'm Self-taught. But I Finally Learned That They Was Having Little Shows Or Night Dances Or Whatever You Call Them At Little Juke Joints Not Far From Where I Lived, And I Used To Go There. They Wouldn't Let Me Play Inside, But I Could Sit Outside On The Weekends, When It Wasn't Raining Or Something.
