He suggests that he is still washed-up, which could suggest that he is not as effective as he once was. He also implies that it is much easier to do his music when individuals are being good to him. This could mean that he is more effective when people are encouraging of his music, or it could imply that he is more motivated to develop music when individuals are respecting him.
