How true is "Papa"?

Papa, the song from Prince's album Come.

One of my faves, but you could tell Prince must have been in a really depressed, dark place when he wrote/recorded this.

There had been stories of Prince being physically disciplined by his father, but the part where the father kills himself - can't be true.

I'd say that since his father didn't kill himself in the front yard with a shotgun, very little of it.

A fiction writer isn't necessarily in the mood their story suggests. For all we know Prince could have been totally joyful on that day. An idea for a song is just an idea for a song...
