Hey, this is Stevie I was blessed to be raised in the west side of Detroit I lived on Breckinridge, that was the first home that we lived in My neighborhood where I was raised up When the girls came along I would sing on the front porch beating on the stairs And singing for hours and hours upon hours Seeing a piano for the first time, but the amazing thing as well is through those experiences I was able to understand how my being blind because my mother allowed me to be free Didn't mean that I had to be blind to the world I may have had a visual disability but did not stop my vision inside me I didn't know what it was like being poor because God had made me rich Even before I was born Rich was the spirit of knowing that anything you imagined That's for the good is possible to be a reality Because a few weeks before I was discovered I had a dream That I heard my music, my record on the radio I had nothing out, no one knew who I was, and, umm, amazing it really happened And so you know it's, I can say to other young people as I said to my son Kiland I said listen, what you don't understand is that God gave you a brand even before you were born All you had to do in life is walk into it
