I Try To Make The Audience Forget

Punk Funk Means To Be One With Yourself. To Be Rebellious, Aggressive, Able To Do And Say What You Feel At All Times, Without Inflicting Mental Or Spiritual Pain.

Anybody That's Old And Closed-minded Does Not Like Rick James... They Don't Like The Fact That I'm Free And I'm Wide Open.

Prison Was A Blessing. Going To Prison Was The Greatest Thing That Happened To Me. It Showed Me That I Wasn't Infallible. It Showed Me That I Was Just Human. It Showed Me That I Can Be Back With My Ghetto Brothers I Grew Up With And Have A Good Time. It Taught Me To Cool Out. It Taught Me Patience. It Taught Me That I Didn't Ever Want To Lose My Freedom. It Taught Me That Drugs Bring On The Devil. It Taught Me To Grow Up.

Now Is My Time. Everything I've Done Up To This Point Is Just A Warm Up. This Is Where It All Begins.

I Can't Hang Out As Loose As I Used To, But I Can Still Go Down Jefferson Avenue And Look In The Faces Of Winos, Pimps And Junkies, All The Things I'm Made Of.
