I'm like a head trip to listen to, 'cause I'm only givin' you things you joke about with your friends inside your living room. The only difference is I got the balls to say it in front of y'all.
Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
