But then you have to write a song, so at that point, I picked up the reins and started to write lyrics.

I realized that there was much more to my voice than I'd ever been led to explore and that I could make my own songs.

It took me a long time to learn how to write a good song.

I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could.

It's a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn't even know that I could write songs.

It took me a long time to stumble upon a sound, and I figured out I wanted to kinda sing rapper's lyrics.

As soon as I could speak, I was singing. Before I could even speak full words, I would make up ones to sing and I have it on tape, too.

In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.

I really wanted to work hard on my lyrics.
