Womenfolk Raised Me And I Was Full-grown

All The Dreams You Show Up In Are Not Your Own.

The Revolution That Takes Place In Your Head, Nobody Will Ever See That.

I Tour More Than I Need To, More Than Is Good For You. But It's My Favorite Part Of Music. I Much Prefer It To Studio Work.

I Am A Black Man Dedicated To Expression; Expression Of The Joy And Pride Of Blackness. I Consider Myself Neither Poet, Composer, Or Musician. These Are Merely Tools Used By Sensitive Men To Carve Out A Piece Of Beauty Or Truth That They Hope May Lead To Peace And Salvation.

You See Martin Luther King Is Dead And Huey Newton Is Not. And Malcolm X Is Dead And Bobby Seale Is Not. And Vernon Jordan Was Shot. The Thing That Revolutionaries, Or Even People Who Want To Claim They're Revolutionaries, Often Forget Is That It Doesn't Make No Difference What Kind Of Wardrobe You Wear, And If You Speak Up About Black People Doing Better You Just Risked Your Life.
