What is Prince's best album lyrically?

Lyrically which do you think is Prince's best album? Not musically but lyically and why.

None?

The Truth..?

How is someone suposed to judge this one when the lyric themes cross several albums?

News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

Probably SOTT yeah , though I dont think that lyrically Prince's music has lost
anything through the years .He always impresses me on that side of things , even when the songs are average eg take Musicology , the music continues to underwhelm me but lyrically its an excellent album .

Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :

Although Krystal made me think with her SOTT mention, I'd say Purple Rain. At least thats what I prefer, with the exceptions of SOTT and The Ballad of Dorothy Parker.

Easily SOTT. His lyrics on this album are more mature and down to earth than anything else he's ever written.

The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I know this is going to be out of the ball park, but ive always thought The Black Album was lyrically a chaotic masterpiece.

"...I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love...with that kitty cat. And then on some dark, cold night I will steal away into your home...and punch you in the face!"

"the Black Album = a lyrically chaotic masterpiece" -- good description

for me, i'd have to say most of his output from 2001-2002
of which was born The Rainbow Children -- "The Work Pt 1" in particular
