What might happen?

Cause and Effect:

If i could talk to myself back then right now
i'd say 'son you might wanna, stick around
something amazing is about to go down'

What might happen?

He's talking to his younger self about amazing things that have already happened.

Maybe he feels that when he was younger he left "himself" and became someone he wasn't because he didn't believe that he could make it by being the "one of himselves" that he thought he was. His angel/demon challenge that some of us go through. Maybe deep down back then he didn't think he could really make his dream come true? Just a thought.

I don't understand the part ...

"if i could leave myself just 1 little note
one that husbands and fathers wrote
it say 'you need to be a superstar or grow up,
but not both'

Is he talking about receiving conflicting advice?

I will give you my personal opinion...

I think he is regretting his attempts to "grow up" - i.e. get married and try to have kids. Since all of that was a failure for him, he is telling himself in the past to either go all out and be a superstar and forget all the marriage and kids stuff or try to grow up and not play the part of superstar.

Good advice I think...

No, because he's saying it to his past self. The only way that he could mean the near future is if he considers 32 years a short space of time.

TIME IS A TRICK.
Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

The older Prince is letting the younger Prince know that the old afro he loved so much was about to be possessed by a giant jar of Dixie Peach.
