Prince - 2gether - lyrics

Yeah
2gether
Your boy got popped in a driveby yesterday
Hell be lucky if he makes it through the night is what the doctors say
U can take revenge or u can be the one 2 break the chain
U look up in the sky 4 an answer and it starts 2 rain
Chorus:
What are we (what are we) if were not 2gether? (if were not 2gether)
How do we (how do we) make a life thats better? (yeah)
Cuz when we (cuz when we) be killin one another (take each other out)
How do we (huh, how) call each other brother? (mmm, check it)
U tell me
Whats the chance of a brother gettin off the block?
Whats the chance, not a damn if all he wanna do is sell chicken wings and the rock
(chicken wing and the rock)
U can blame the system, u can be the one 2 even the score, huh
Yeah, huh, u look up in the sky 4 an answer and it starts 2 pour
Drop it, huh
What are we (what are we) if were not 2gether? (if were not 2gether)
How do we (how do we) make a life thats better? (yeah)
Cuz when we (cuz when we) be killin one another (take each other out)
How do we (huh, how) call each other brother?
U tell me (tellem)
Why is slangin them thangs, coppin a stroll, flashin a sign
Key topics on a young black mind?
Cuz its the picture that we giveem and they illustrate
Black on black genocide has started 2 escalate
Every brother aint a brother cuz o color, this is true
But I can still say 2 my brother much love boo
Please lord, give me the strength and make it quick
Cuz my people wont take another nightstick, huh
What are we (what are we) if were not 2gether? (if were not 2gether)
How do we (and how do we) make a life thats better? (yeah)
Cuz when we (cuz when we) be killin one another (take each other out)
How do we (how do we) (I dont know) call each other brother?
U tell me
What are we if were not 2gether? (the new power generation)
How do we make a life thats better? (straight up 4 93)
Cuz when we (come on) (killin one another) be killin one another
(come on, come on)
(how do we) how do we call each other brother?
U tell me (yeah)
Yo, its simple
From the old 2 the young
2 uplift we must give the gift
Gift of knowledge, that is
Teach our young
That all in life aint fun
And 2 make a life thats better
My people must stick 2gether
The choice is yours
Chorus
What are we (what are we) if were not 2gether? (if were not 2gether)
How do we (how do we) make a life thats better? (2gether)
Cuz when we (cuz when we) be killin one another (be killin one another)
How do we (how do we) call each other brother?
U tell me
2gether {x2}

Prince - 2020 - lyrics

The year is 2020
And in the club - Love4OneAnother
Students dance 2 the heartbeat of the drum
3000 or more dance on the dance floor
Same aesthetics - everyone
Taste the color, smell the fun
The force of nature is what brought us here
The walls between us soon all disappear
The year is 2020 and there's no more fear
Can U see this? (Mm hmm)
Peace and happy people
(Mm hmm

Prince - 18 Over - lyrics

18 & over
(come) {repeat in song}
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya (yeah, baby)
18 & over (oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya (yeah, baby)
18 & over (oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
Now wait a minute
This aint nothin but a little funky mac song
All Im sayin is that I wanna smack it all night long
On and on until the early morn
Givin up all u need so u can get your groove on
And as long as I got your attention (yeah)
Theres a couple of new positions that Id like 2 mention
Did u ever hear the one about the pinwheel? (no)
Thats the one where I put your legs behind your head
And real dirty like, ima spin u around
And grab u by the waist and pump u til I hear my baby say
Oww!
Thats what I know u like
Im your nigga now about 2 read your rights
And as sure as Im a nasty boy (what? )
My girl, u know u got the right 2 make plenty noise (oh!)
Cuz this is your night and Im gonna do u real good
Just like a kimosabi, bone ranger should
Come
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya
18 & over (oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
Come
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya
18 & over (oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
And [arrive]
Thats what we layin 4 in the 9 5
As long we know its safe, we aint riskin no lives (yeah)
My doctors name is feelgood, makin it so I do
And if your name is healthy then its cool with me and u
Just come - yeah baby, u should do all that
Come - yeah baby
(oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya
18 & over
Hi yo silver, its the bone ranger, Ill freak u 2 the marrow
With a little somethin that I call the wheelbarrow
Walkin up on your hands while I straddle your thighs
In goes the truth and out goes the lie
And before the beach gets 2 sandy (uh oh)
Well call a wet towel, w.c. is handy
And its all nice, comin one, comin twice
And if the johnnys sick, well have 2 take the trip 2 electricity
And check out the sights (check out the sights)
And check out the sights
When I blow that mind, baby (all night, alright)
Im gonna drive u crazy (all night, alright)
(oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya
18 & over
Electricity (electricity)
Plug it in if u dare, plug it in if u dare
This mother*****ers so fast, it eats underwear
So there, my little sweet sugar bear
If that aint enough 2 make u throw your hands in the air
Then Im all gone like the horns in this song (oh oh oh oh!)
Cuz I gots 2 keep u comin til the early morn
And if u like that, then u can come back
And if u dont smack and Im out
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya
When I blow that mind, baby (all night, alright)
Im gonna drive u crazy (all night, alright)
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya
18 & over (oh yeah, this is gonna be good)
18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya
18 & over (oh yeah, this is gonna be good)

Prince - 1+1+1 Is 3 - lyrics

If u ain't got no place 2 stay/Come on baby 'round this way
Stay with me baby/But let me tell u how it's gonna b
There's a theocratic order./There's a theocratic order now
This is how it's gonna b/If u wanna b with me
Ain't no room 4 disagree/1+1+1 is 3
Take ur tie and think it thru/If this is what u wanna do
I ain't really that hard 2 please/Cuz 1+1+1 is 3
Stroke ur hair a hundred times/Let me c what I can find
D u know about the order./Do u know about the order, now?
The Banished Ones:
"We are the Banished Ones and we have come 2 dance
If u will not let us, we'll have 2 kick ur pants!"
Who's that knockin' on the door?/Didn't we throw u out b4?
I'm 'bout 2 get rowdy!/I'm 'bout 2 get rowdy, now!
Make me wanna do something.
We could b surrounded in the palace
"Everybody wants 2 get u!"/I don't care
How many y'all just came 2 dance?
Let me c u shake ur pants/We don't give a duck what u got on
U just need 2 work that sexy body all nite long/Come on
Where them Banished Ones at?/"Said they 'round the back"
Don't cut 'em no slack/"I'm gon' tap, tap, tap"
But should I keep this party going?/"Brotha u know that!"
Moneyapolis, sing-Rainbow Children, raise ur hands
If we can't do it, nobody can!
Here they come y'all/Rally 'round the palace now
U know what we got 2 do!
How'd that fool get up in here?
Snagglevoice.

Prince - 2045 Radical Man - lyrics

{Spoken with crowd cheering in background
How can a non-musician discuss the future of music from anything other than a
consumer point of view?
These few people make decisions for the bulk of us, without consulting any of
us.
Sales and distributions of our futures, uh!
If this world were fair and right, they'd give up the car keys this very
night./Damn!
(Hit it!)
Two, three, four, five, six, seven
Flash forward, 2045
What did you stand for in the life of your pride
When faced with the final judgment of today
Who profitted from the game
That you and your niggas play
Radical man/Save the life
Come on take a stand
Give that money back
Let's make a plan
The brand new currency
Taking care of one another
You and me
(Radical man)
Flash backwards, 1999 (backwards, 1999)
In a world shot full of viruses, see (Tell me)
How'd y'all stay alive? (Everyone of y'all)
Depending on this so called man
For everything you got comes from his hand
Food, water, the clothes you wear
How many of y'all niggas really care?
To care (to care)
Let's define this word nigga (define, define)
Someone who stays high (high)
Watching their life go by (by, by)
Someone content with riding behind (ride that)
Nigga
They come in all colors
White, black, Puerto Rican
Is that the main niggas we're speakin' about?
Wear suits and buy and sell corporations
With only one thing in mind
(Only one thing in mind)
(Break it up!)
That is the destruction of the so-called radical man
By 2045
(Let's get radical)
Watch me now!
School's in the yard, digital games
When the war broke out we called your name
(What's your name?)
Everyone of color put on the front line
Holocaust Avenue, 2009
Get an education, good job who says? (say)
Fool with the gold rush drinkin' Alize
I don't play nobody that's makin' no sense today
You got your own mind, so you think it's ok (It's not ok)
Telling themselves lies, Mos Def say
Where you gonna stay, nigga
(Where you gonna stay nigga)
(Oh my God, it's the Green Mile!)
What's up y'all?
What y'all wanna do? (Talkin' about a radical man)
Ain't nobody up in their crew no?
I could really run that computer
Make it flow (flow flow flow flow flow)
If you ain't born with it (Radical man)
Talkin' about the two and four, hit me!
Wait up
What George say.,all around
Alright
We claim Miles Davis, not Michaelangelo
We playin' D-flat in the funk
You better act like you know
We don't care, what Albert Einstein did
I'd rather know, rather know (what?)
How to build a pyramid
Hey!/James Brown, Chuck D. and Jimmy
Turn me up louder now
I don't think y'all hear me (I don't hear ya)
2045/We will stay alive
2045 (yeah, everybody now)
The war is on outside
And the whole pop scenario is just nothin' but a dream
(A bad dream)
The day you will wake is the day you get the real cream, nigga
Radical man (Radical man)
Who got the gift, who got the plan?
Radical man (Radical man)
Who got the gift, who got the plan?
This is the funk the industry most fears
Artists getting together
In a locker board of directors/I don't think so
Nobody's running this
Let's talk about DNA, nigga
The radical man
{Spoken with crowd cheering in background
Where will you be in 2045?
30 million people right now, are being wiped off the face of the planet by
disease.
They claim they have no cure.
In the matter of a blinking eye,
all of us right now can testify.
Take a stand, radical man.

Prince - 1999 - lyrics

Dont worry, I wont hurt u
I only want u 2 have some fun
I was dreamin when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
There were people runnin everywhere
Tryin 2 run from the destruction,
U know I didnt even care
cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over,
Oops out of time
So tonight Im gonna party like its 1999
I was dreamin when I wrote this
So sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party, and parties werent meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die Im gonna listen 2 my body tonight
Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
Oops out of time
So tonight Im gonna party like its 1999
Yeah
Lemme tell ya somethin
If u didnt come 2 party,
Dont bother knockin on my door
I got a lion in my pocket,
And baby hes ready 2 roar
Yeah, everybodys got a bomb,
We could all die any day
But before Ill let that happen,
Ill dance my life away
Oh, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
Oops out of time
Were runnin outta time (tonight Im gonna)
So tonight we gonna (party like its 1999)
We gonna, oww
Say it 1 more time
Two thousand zero zero party over oops,

We gonna, oww
Alright, its 1999

Prince - 17 Days - lyrics

Called u yesterday
U didnt answer your phone
The main drag is knowing that
U probably werent alone
So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin 4 my sunshine
But all Ive got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine
So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Youve been gone 17 days
17 long nights
The main drag is knowing that
Youre holding someone else tight
I wanna to call u everyday
And beg u 2 be near me
But I know your head is underwater
I doubt that u could hear me
So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
17 days
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
17 days
Called u yesterday
U didnt answer your phone
If youre the one whos always lonely
Then Im the one whos always alone
So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin 4 my sunshine
All Ive got is 2 cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Why dont you answer your phone?
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
17 days
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
17 days
