I Don't Have Any Health Problems, But

'my Life' Is Soft, With Notes Of Pear And Gardenia, But Still Bold, With A Woody Base.

From Being A Little Girl In The Projects, Going Through All Of The Mess That I Was Going Through, To Ending Up At The Inauguration For The First African-american President, I'm Speechless Right Now Because I Never Thought I'd - I Never Ever - I Couldn't Even See That Far. Even When I Ended Up In The Music Business I Couldn't See That.

I Mean, I Know My Heart Is Not Clean, And Your Heart Is Not Clean, And None Of Our Urban Hearts Are Clean. But You Can Be Washed Again.

There Are People Out There Who Want To Provoke Me And Bring Back The Old Mary But I'm Not Giving Them The Satisfaction.

I'm My Worst Critic, And I Like The Fact That I Can Listen To Myself Now And Make Fun Of Myself, Listen, Make Changes - 'oh, Man, That's Messed Up. Okay, I Need To Work On That; I Need To Work On This.'
