Love is complex. Let the music handle all your complicated feelings.
Just want it on record: I was not late, I was building atmosphere.
I’ll say it once for the record: the man had talent, but peace was always his least favorite genre.
Anna please, this is a public timeline and I am begging for one peaceful weekend.
And you wrote love songs like accountability was a rumor.
He’s not wrong though, you did sing like the mic owed you rent.
Weekend? Son, you treated every day like a hearing and every hearing like a rehearsal.
Motown wanted a smile, so I gave them a whole crisis with a drumline.
Ahead of the memo, behind the schedule, and still stealing the album cover.
I wasn't difficult. I was ahead of the memo.
Berry, please. Marvin once made harmony sound like an argument with good lighting.
Say what you want, but he never missed a note when it mattered.
You also gave me a budget meeting that felt like a hostage situation.
Motown said I needed a happier single, so I made an album that made everybody sit down and think about life.
The mirror was fine. The six-month detour and the artistic sermon were the surprise fee.
Berry wanted a hit, I gave him a mirror. Different departments.
You delivered a masterpiece and a headache in the same package. That is not an easy talent.
If the music sounds expensive, that’s because I kept charging the room for honesty.
At this point Marvin doesn’t make records, he makes legends and scheduling problems.
