Five lyrics, no interviews, and one subject: music itself. Music & Me supplies three of them, with I Got Love and Area Codes adding one each. Craft is the lead tag at 3, then identity at 2; pain, wisdom and confidence follow once apiece. The lines are plainspoken and devotional: music as the thing that taught the speaker how to cry and still remain a G, that "the music, it remains the same" while time changes, and music as what the ancestors gave. A page this short reads like a single song's worth of thought.
I got game — I got game 'cause the game was given to me
I hit 'em with the music from the slaves
Oh my goodness, what my ancestors gave
Time does change, but the music, it remains the same
Without my music, where would I be?
You taught me how to cry and still remain a G
