Well The First Thing I'd Say Is

I Believe My Own Demons Would Have Caught Up With Me Regardless Of My Race And Regardless Of Whether I Worked At 'the Times.

I Used To Walk Around Saying That I'm Just Another Black Man Without A College Degree.

Racism Built Me Into A Person That Was Set Up To Be Self-destructive.

Once I Had A Better Beat, I Needed To Have An Even Better One. And Somewhere In That Climbing, I Lost Sight Of, Sort Of, My Moral And Ethical Underpinnings.

It's Very Painful To Have Something That's Not True Written About You.
