I tell you, there are no Big shots in reality, y'all We're all in the same boat, dealing With the same issues, same problems Same stuff don't even buy it All the perpetration you know All this "We don't have problems" That's a lie that's A lie i know that the enemy is Doing the same thing to me That he's doing to everybody Else i just know now that the only way to Get out is through confrontation see We always thought it was Retreat, you know, run away And I'm telling you, you got to confront it This is a strange song because this song - when this song was written, this Is when everything sort of stopped it Was written a long time ago But it was right before God Just snatched me out of Everything and because I didn't Understand initially it was Written - I'd written it about The whole Amadou Diallo situation When it first happened and I Went to the studio, and I laid It down and it was like, strong For the first day and Then it just regressed everyday after That and I said "What's going on? What's happening?" And at the end of it there Was a word that i used, "rebel" And I Guess was afraid it was such a hot Time in the city at that point I was afraid that if I put the record out People would misunderstand what I meant By "rebel" and they'd Just take it to the streets so I was Very intimidated and afraid and Before I knew it a whole host of things Happened everything stopped After that and the creativity stopped Everything stopped that's when I Realized I had to understand What I was talking About before I could tell somebody Else what I was Talking about and I had to be, you know A living example It's real crazy because I don't know what the Press is saying because I don't listen To the press too much but I know The view is that I'm emotionally unstable Which is reality like you aren't? I'm laughing because what I've realized I've become is one Of those mad scientists who does the tests on Themselves first, you see To make sure that they Work and that's when you know, OK look, i Got something that works you know What I'm saying? I'm Not gonna give you something That I haven't tested For myself and you go through And you're learning By way of experience, and You're making mistakes And you're getting up A friend of mine once said to me, he said Look, if we weren't supposed to turn around Why does a car have a steering wheel? Are We just supposed to crash Into the wall? No, we're Supposed to say, Listen I was going the wrong way reverse! In this particular song Now I realize that this song is About freedom you see? We could Look at one human being, but it's about The spirit of freedom being taken out And how it's taken out in all of us The song is called "I Find It Hard to Say" Bear with me a little bit
