I Wish I Had An Extra Day

As A Child I Always Wanted To Be A Singer. The Music My Mother Played In The House Moved Me - Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Mahalia Jackson. It Was Truly Spiritual. It Made You Understand What God Was. We Are All Spirits. We Get Depressed. But Music Makes You Want To Live. I Know My Music Has Saved My Life.

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.

We Are All Just A Work In Progress.

When I Was Five Years Old I Was Molested And Just, You Know. I Remember Feeling, Literally Right Before It Happened, I Just Could Not Believe That This Person Was Going To Do This To Me. That Thing Followed Me All My Life. The Shame Of Thinking My Molestation Was My Fault - It Led Me To Believe I Wasn't Worth Anything.

Don't Go A Full Day Or Night Without Washing Your Face. You Have To Get All The Dirt And Makeup Out Of Your Pores.
