Genius Answer

Man, where I’m from, stuff like that happens all the time. Then you look at TV and you see O.J. or that Lorena Bobbitt shit. Can’t deny that there is a thin line between love and hate. When it comes to songwriting, I modeled myself after Stevie Wonder. Sometimes you put poetry to beautiful music, and other times you got to come direct. A song like “Shit, Damn, Motherfucker” is just a sign of the times.
