[in acknowledgment of his similarity to today’s “gangsta” rappers] I wouldn’t let anybody influence me into thinking I was doing the wrong thing by singing about death, hell and drugs. Beause I’ve always done that, and I always will.
How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.
