I Look In The Mirror, My Only

Growing Up, Politics Never Trickled Down To The Areas We Come From. But People From Obama's Camp, And Obama Himself, Reached Out To Me And Asked For My Help On The Campaign. We've Sat And Had Dinner, And We've Spoken On The Phone. He's A Very Sharp Guy. Very Charming. Very Cool.

Your Future Is Ahead Of You. Imagine The Notion Of The Past Fifteen Years Of Your Life Being A Blip In Your Story.

Only God Can Judge Me So I'm Gone, Either Love Me Or Leave Me Alone.

I Couldn't Even Think About Wanting To Be Something Else; I Wouldn't Let Myself Visualize Another Life. But I Wrote Because I Couldn't Stop. It Was A Release, A Mental Exercise, A Way Of Keeping Sane.

For Me, Being With Obama Or Having Dinner With Bill Clinton... It's Crazy. It's Mind-blowing, Because Where I Come From Is Just Another World. We Were Just Ignored By Politicians, By America In General.
