I Don't See Myself As Ever Being

Akon Is A Very Talented Songwriter To Work With. His Melodies, They're Just Insane. It's Funny, I Think About Him A Lot When I'm Doing My Melodies Because He's So Simple, And He's Just Been Great. He Keeps Me On My Feet, Very Grounded, But He Also Puts Me On A Silver Platter, Which Is Always Very Nice. So It's Been An Incredible Influence. It's Like Every Time You Work With Somebody That's Better That You Are, You Become Greater.

I Remember Watching The Mascara Tears Flood The Ivories And I Thought, "it's Ok To Be Sad." I've Been Trained To Love My Darkness.

Amidst All Of These Flashing Lights I Pray The Fame Won't Take My Life.

You Can Be Whoever You Choose To Become In The Future, Just Do It. Just See It And Visualize It And Every Day Of Your Life Project That About Yourself.

I Work Very Hard, But When God Opens That Door For You - When Life Opens That Door For You, I Should Say - I Think It's Important To Be Giving, To Return The Love Back.
