“I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye/No I don’t/On second thought I just wished he would die,” he raps on the track "May Name is".
In a 2001 interview with British newspaper "The Mirror" Bruce had said “I desperately want to meet my son and tell him I love him. I’m not interested in his money. I just want to talk to him. I want him to know that I’m here for him if he lets me back in his life.”
