Liner Notes
The following are the lines written by Smith available on the booklet from the album.
| “ | It's always hard when the time comes to do the "thank yous." I always manage to forget somebody and then I see them on the street somewhere and they scream, "I gave you the best years of my life, and no thanks is the thanks I get!" So in the interest of time, space on the back of this album, and the avoidance of public ridicule, first and foremost, I would like to thank God. I would like to thank Mom Mom, Daddy O, GiGi and my entire family. Like the African proverb goes, "It takes a village to raise a child," and I've been raised by a couple of villages full of people too innumerable to name. But to all of my friends, and all the "villagers" that have helped me, not only with this album, but with my career and life in general — you know who you are. And I want you to know that I'm very clear that no one becomes "The Big Williest" by themselves. And to Trey and Jada, I live, love and work, every second of every day, hoping to make you proud of who I am. I love you. | ” |
