Something like: "Discovered my father's music, like Prince searching through boxes in Purple Rain." Then it sounds like he says something about Minneapolis, but I can't make that bit out....

Feelin' this track though!

Didn’t he perform that song on the VHI or MTV Music Awards with his dad? It sounds like the same song but a different version because he does mention P and Purple Rain. I heard the song and couldn’t make out the exact words but I do like what I heard the song is jammin 4 sho. wink

Born in the game, discovered my father's music
Like Prince searchin' through boxes of Purple Rain
But my Minneapolis was The Bridge, home of the Superkids
