Like a rimshot on a new ROOTS joint
My band is tight, yea anointed
Live in concert au natural
Pass my tape go straight 2 jail
And another thing - I sing
Black and White hold hands
Start clappin' when we enter the
Jam packed dance
If U want it just
Clap yo hands, Clap yo hands
Clap yo hands, Clap yo hands

Happy y'all cause I finally got PAID
I'm off the plantation Boo,
Chillin' in the shade of the sun's light
We got it right
Distribute your own make a million overnight
B4 the tax come, quick buy some land
But don't build nothin' just
Clap yo hands, Clap yo hands
Clap yo hands y'all, 4 Prince & the Band

Record labels used 2 be a friend of mine
Now they're just a monumental waste of time
Sell a million records, make a dollar a pop
Still unrecouped when your band gets dropped
Got your own label but your given them half
Xpenses off the top, who's takin' a bath?
7 years of prime-time, your soul your name
Just 2 keep yourself a SLAVE 2 the game
Crazy man!
Whatever U can't do alone is not worth the fame
They all get older but we still look the same
Y'all can't understand
Just clap your hands - 4 Prince & the Band

Like a policeman 2 a crime
I just can't make up my mind
2 jam or not 2 jam
The BIG CROWD ROCKER
That's who we AM
Funky y'all, TRUTH be told
Prime-time aint ready 4 us all
We bring tha noise the best we can
Clap yo hands - 4 Prince & the Band

And another thing - I sing
Black and White hold hands
Start clappin' when we enter the jam packed dance
If u want 2 just clap yo hands
Clap yo hands y'all, 4 Prince & the Band
