I would like to stay here. I was 27 when i came here. I was inside me and my girlfriend we had a we had a place together so i was paying half the rainy she was paying to have to live so we were inside for 3 years. I met on the street here using i got off the. Gallery down to drinking beer but her liver had already ran its course she need she didnt want to get on a liver transplant so. She died from cirrhosis of the liver and the title. And write songs is stus me based on something that im experienced or something thats happened to me thats where the booze you know maybe comes from within i mean gospel. Army booze country. They all have. They all tell stories. When i didnt hear the last thing. Or that. Put them. As far as the streets were you never know whats going to happen in a day in a week just how things go you know theres not just. Here is everywhere is like wildfire in a los angeles can. You just look right across the street a couple of blocks read that was a whole nother game it does not get along with just side over here. And we have real history right here is how the gangs are broke and then you have. Basically 3 different types of gangs actively going on now you have a crips was most of them dont get along you have the power as was their star now not to get a loan already you have less i can see on the west side of compton and this is track new clark which is the park im standing there right now and the t p c c group are counting korea. With us its never right and thats where bam in ca and my rapper dog man in the cinema. Always some type of big me going i want to kind of keep everything that i was never like peace between businesses and the neighbors and the neighborhoods and the schools and the budgets and the whole east Department Everything was. Back to some great and some to study and some obvious to tell it. God drop the talent already i mean let it come out polies was kicking my gang it was basically kicking against my cloak and we needed and i had to speak out aggressive. Gangsta rap for me you know im saying. Was a cry for attention like you know this is whats going on over here we dont bring lights it is we dont make make sure that you guys know whos going to implode you make us the. Whole. Second this is part of the steve. I cannot talk to you right now im on im on camera i would speak to you about 1015 minutes a day in the head with that. A business call. More work. More gigs more excitement. This is how i live. In. Parliament some place for you where you go to find jazz and blues and r. And b. You find that you also find the punk energy. You can live your life very safely and. Or you can be loud. Very very. New the mind of the people who enjoy that same volume. Them in a motion. That i feel for the city is constant motion Constant Velocity everything moves all at once and. Sometimes it works sometimes we get in each of those way but there are like over like 8000000 of us in this city so we get along as best we can sometimes we dont but this is the excitement of the chaos that i live d in this is what fuels by music this is what fuels me i like the noise dont ask me why i was born here i like the noise with us j. S. Or rocknroll or. This is what i have but i did. Borrow one. I perform. Whatever the work is ive enjoyed performing with the people are sometimes you get lucky sometimes you dont this isnt wall street this is rotten. For her because. The system straightened out. From our friends for 3 years of Public Service problems i think just for hooters most of us all is in. The. League. To. A lot of it started with the spirituals because the spirituals during the days of slavery were means of communication for. The slaves to communicate to each other about what was getting ready to happen like steal away steal away steal away to jesus they were getting ready to theyd they use the songs during the underground railroad to communicate with each other they were singing they were not allowed to read the bibles. And they were fleeing from from the south to the north and spirituals choir sing them but there they really have a message if you listen to. The word. Was. The it. Was. The minister gets up to preach there should be nothing for him to do but to give the word and as the levites used to prepare the music and with the harps and the flute they prepared the way for for them for the message to. Given and church music to me does the saying when you dont have hope you know the song this is you know i need the every hour. And its kind of like a prayer because it just helps you remember all the things that hes brought you through. Because especially during times of sadness people or they dont have money. And sometimes you just need that song and sometimes its not a docile song though it just may be a song just hearing joy to the world the lord has come and then now and then theres another version of there is joy to the. Gospel just takes a different different twist to a song that we all know but it gives people hope i think that gospel music gives you hope it gives you peace and it gives you joy you know the young people they have a different beat you know. But they have a different b. And so that when they come out with a new song feel the same. Opportunity. To put. Everything from grace to read. It had to happen. Had to happen there was it was inevitable we call against right now but it was actually story corps reality rare perfect example so easy lyrics he said woke. About knowing just had to be done so got a good draw before my day begins before my mama start bitching about my offering is basic you understand everything im saying right here my reality is simple captive born and raised. Fatherless child you know sam a father died when i was a baby mama was a crackie of for many we all have our stories i had to earn my respect in histories in order to just survive in count and it was it was more of a necessity to say which you had to say like leaves you know say i like the batter ram you know sam i dont mean you know sand these are words that people understand where we come from so when you put that in a song thats what everybody will gravitate to. You cannot be vulgar with yet you like. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see that. Were told the civil unrest in the United States and beyond is about systemic racism were told western institutions are values that are inherently fun and run.
