“Black people are just constantly immature in their thinking, undisciplined, and we suffer as a people. This is not about race in the sense that black people got to get something better than whites or Latinos or Asians.

“Who needs a dream? Who needs ambition? Who'd be the fool in my position? Once I had dreams, now they're obsessions. Hopes became needs, lovers possessions. Then they move in, oh so discretely. Slowly at first, smiling too sweetly. I opened doors, they walked right through them. Called me their friend, I hardly knew them... Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.

But what's the point if I'm concealing not only love, all other feeling.” IfsNeedsFirstsHas BeensFeelingsDreamMovingDoorsPositionFoolLoversAmbitionPossessionComplainingObsessionEntertainingOnly LoveI Had A DreamConcealingNeed LoveOpened Doors Author:Tim Rice
