Someone asked me the other day if it was easier breaking into rap or rock, ... I don't know, I haven't broken in on either one, you know

You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away.

If I condone that kind of journalism, she's going to be in Iraq one day, so is that how she's going to prepare for something of importance?, ... If someone comes in and is not familiar with what I'm doing, then they're doing me a disservice and themselves and their readers.

If you look at the lyrics, I could be writing that about myself or about the government and hopefully that's the power of the song, ... It makes sense about the government -- 'what you've done here is put yourself between the bullet and the target.' I believe they did that. And I also put myself in life in harm's way. People sometimes are born in positions like that and sometimes they put themselves there. And they have to get out.

Just because you get a record deal doesn't mean you're even going to put out a record,
