He highlights that the stories in old songs often reflect real, hard-earned experiences, not just made-up tales. The artist rejects the idea that suffering is a trend, and he believes that money should never justify exploiting people. Now, he enjoys a simpler, calmer life where he can appreciate small moments, like having a meal at a restaurant, knowing he can pay for it. He refuses to accept defeat or let it hold him back, choosing to keep pushing forward and staying true to his craft, even when others might judge him.
