I Learned Real Early Why God Gave

Though Negative Things Have Happened To Me, God Somehow Let Me Know That Becoming Bitter Was Not The Way To Go. You Die When You Do That. Someone Once Told Me That If You Fully Open Your Arms To Receive Love, You'll Get Some Scratches And Cuts On Your Arms, But A Lot Of Love Will Come In. If You Close Your Arms, You Might Never Get Cut - But The Good Stuff Won't Come In Either.

Let's Not Get Too Full Of Ourselves. Let's Leave Space For God To Come Into The Room.

You Have To Know That Your Real Home Is Within.

My Daddy Was A Carpenter That Worked With The Jones Boys, Who Are The Most Notorious In America. The Black Gangsters, You Know, They Were No Joke. And He Was Their Master Carpenter. He Used To Build Their Homes, And All I Saw When I Was 11 Years Old Were Dead Bodies And Tommy Guns And Stogies, And Backrooms, You Know, Drexel Wine And Liquor, With The Big Piles Of Money Underneath.

Did You Know You Would Become As Successful As You Have? Hell, No. But You Know What? You Were Prepared, Baby.
