Troubled heart you'll know, problems have solutions, trust and I will show.

Kenny Burrell is a great musician and his music has helped to make me what I am today.

Now some folks say that we should be glad for what we have. Tell me, would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land?

Evil, why do you infest the purest thoughts with hatred?

Exploitation, mutilation, mutations, confirmation to the evils of the world.

It's up to to you to perfect that gift that you've been given. Put your spirit into that song. Focus on the words that you are singing. Get into the experience that you are singing about and sing your heart out.

You can't hear me? Read my lips!

Music at its essence is what gives us memories.

If we begin to stop spewing the negative and really move into using our voices and our pens and our abilities that we have to reach millions of people to the positive, we can make a difference in the world.

Handicaps are really to be used another way to benefit yourself and others.

Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall

I just called to say, 'I love you.

I am all for stem cell research.

When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer.

When I grow up I wanna be like Omar

Shattered dreams, worthless years, here I am encased in a hollow shell. Life began, then was done, now I stare into a cold and empty well.

I'm still experimenting.

Gods induction, life's construction, these instruct will save every living thing. Can't you see that life's connected?

Sometimes we listen to too many commentators about things that don't affect their lives because they're in a different tax bracket. Or to the so-called clergymen giving their interpretation of God's word, and yet they're not rolling the same way in their own lives.

I was so bad. Out of control. So glad I turned out to be a nice guy.

I really do seek to create music that is timeless, ... Each project takes on its own life, and the songs from "A Time To Love" are the most appropriate for the statement I wanted to make...The most important thing is, when I do give the music, I'm satisfied with it, that it speaks for what I want to do...It is a different kind of lyric; it's very picturesque. I can see everything that I'm writing, I can visualize all those things happening.

Minds ripen at very different ages.

Among all the wonderful things we have, we don't seem to have a time to love. And to me that's the fuel, that's the fuel we need to make the engine go.

I feel thankful to God, first and foremost, allowing me to enjoy this 'smell the roses' kind of thing.

My mother gave me an understanding that as good as you think you are, you're not so great. There's always room for improvement. The reality is when people don't have someone to give them a sense of guidance, and say, "Hey, man, that's not happening," it's really hard.

Use your heart to love somebody. And If your heart is big enough, use your heart to love EVERYBODY

Here is my music. It is all I have to tell you how I feel. Know that your love keeps my love strong.

Did you know that true love asks for nothing?

Love's in need of love today...don't delay...send yours in right away

I think honestly, SOME people who think they’re gay, they’re confused. People can misconstrue closeness for love. People can feel connected, they bond. I’m not saying all [gay people are confused]. Some people have a desire to be with the same sex. But that’s them.

Sometimes I'm very disappointed at some of the people in our family of communicators, whether it be a songwriter or a rapper that's always talking about negativity or a singer or a columnist or a network that basically gets off on just trying to create the negative.

Loving you, until the day that 8 x 8 x 8 x 8 is 4.

The way the world is right now, we need more love,

There are a lot of things happening that show us that this, right now, is a time to love.

You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart

Through the ages all great men have taught truth and happiness can't be bought.

Change your words into truths and then change that truth into LOVE...

There's a Place in the Sun, where there's hope for everyone.

I'm too high, but I ain't left the ground.

Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand.

We all have hearts.... If you have a heart, love somebody. If you have enough heart, love everybody.

There may be a brighter star. But through my eyes the light of you is all I see.

It feels better to love than to hate.

When you're moving in the positive, your destination is the brightest star.

Hold onto your dreams 'cause they're always worth havin'. Hold on to your dreams til the day your life is said and done.

There are people who have let the problems of today lead them to conclude that for them life is not the way.

Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl.

Of all the needs that we have right now, more than anything we need a time for love.
