Didn't I say please don't ask me questions about my life
My life's an open secret
it's in the songs I write
It's in the way I sing
It's how I feel
Let me break this down for you
See if you can really understand me
Everybody wants to know about my style and where I'm from
Born a beast set out for feast at early age when I was young
Mary Jane...my claim to fame was all about me having fun
And smoking in the sun
Money in my pockets while the woman came and they'd go
Seven cars in my backyard cause that the way I loved to roll
Curse the day I started with play on something that would break my fall
Just getting high that's all...
Looking for a taste of love
Just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love...that could be so nice, be so nice
On the street i have to meet a dame I tought was really fine
Took her home up to my crib and that's the time she blew my mind
Everything was cool until the day Five-O knocked on the door
They made me hit the floor
Tried me for abuse and all these other lies were in the press
All they wanted was for me to cop a plea and just confess
Years when I was down I proved that I not only passed the test
But God was on my side...looking for a taste of love
Just a taste of love...just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love...looking for a taste of love
Just a taste of love...that would be so nice, be so nice
Just a taste of love...just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love...just a sweet taste of love
Just a taste of love...looking for a taste of love
That would be so nice, be so nice
Had it all baby...done it all...seen it all...
I still see
It's all about love
And God is love baby
Have him in your life

Rick James, pseudonimo di James Ambrose Johnson Jr. (Buffalo, 1º febbraio 1948 – Los Angeles, 6 agosto 2004), è stato un cantautore, musicista e produttore discografico statunitense. Considerato uno dei pionieri della funk e del soul contemporaneo, ha raggiunto il successo negli anni '80 con brani come "Super Freak", "Give It To Me Baby" e "You and I". La sua musica era caratterizzata da un sound potente e aggressivo, influenzato dal rock, dalla psichedelia e dal funk. James è stato anche un produttore di talento, lavorando con artisti come Teena Marie e The Mary Jane Girls. La sua carriera è stata segnata da alti e bassi, tra successi commerciali e problemi personali. Nel 1990 è stato condannato per violenza domestica, evento che ha avuto un impatto significativo sulla sua immagine pubblica.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
