I'd like to get to know ya so I could show ya
Put the p**** on ya like I told ya
Gimme all your numbers so I could phone ya
Your girl actin' stank then call me over
Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa
Phone before you come, I need to shave my chocha
You do or you don't or you will or won't ya
Go downtown and eat it like a vulture
See my hips and my tips, don't ya
See my a** and my lips, don't ya
Lost a few pounds and my waist for ya
This the kinda beat that go ra-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Sex me so good I say blah-blah-blah

See the Belvedere playin' tricks on ya

Listen up close while I take it backwards
I'm not a prostitute, but I could give you what you

I love your braids and your mouth full of floss
Love the way my a** go bum-bum-bum-bum
Keep your eyes on my bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
And think you can handle this gadong-a-dong-dong
Take my thong off and my a** go vroom
Cut the lights off so you see what I could do

Prince - Incense And Candles Lyrics

Baby ooh
Let's go

Eye've been waiting 4 U baby all night long
(eye've been waiting 4 U baby all night long)
So eye could get somebody 2 play this song
(c'mon)
The jam that's got a beat like it's making love
(the jam that's got a beat like it's making love)
Cuz Ur the only one eye've been thinking of
(oh yea) whoaa

Come in2 my room of incense and candles
Eye've got something that U won't know how 2 handle
U can tell me na-uh but U know how this man do
Eye'ma want it all night long
C'mon c'mon
Eye'ma want it all night long

Eye'm glad we're compatible, mature, and grown
(mature and grown)
'Cause this is nothing something U can do alone
There's a dance floor but we can use a table (yes we can)
Eye've got 2 have a partner that's willing and able
(willing and able)

Come in2 my room of incense and candles
Eye've got something that U won't know how 2 handle
U can tell me na-uh but U know how this man do
Eye'ma want it all night long

Once U try 2 seduce me it grows and grows
Ur mind will never deny what Ur body knows
Eye know U want 2 take off all your clothes
But please don't do it

Eye got a cool idea my darling, let's go outside
Eye wanna smother U with something shiny as the rims upon my
ride
Eye want 2 look 4 the milky way and uhh when eye find it
Eye'm gonna make U scream my name as if it was divine
(Prince)
But we both know that we gotta praise the one who made ya
Give props 2 Ur mama 4 the healthy food she must have gave ya
4 the meek at heart these words they might sound like a
sinner
But the truth is that U're sitting on every one of Ur dinners
But that's fine, 'Cause eye'm blind
About blind as a cat in the dark
It might come at 2 in the morning after roaming in the park
Hard 2 understand always changing plans
Harder than hell 2 handle
One scent alone make it worth Ur while the price of Prince's
candle

All night
Circles of flowers or pyramids of sand
Violet colored diamonds
U got 2 understand

Incense and candles
Wherever U can
U got 2 make this woman
Lust 4 this man

Come in2 my room of incense and candles
Eye've got something that U won't know how 2 handle
U can tell me na-uh but U know how this man do
Eye'ma want it all night long
[Repeat 4x]

Eminem also mentions Prince in 1 of his songs,, Something about a Pencil,, and prince changing his name 2 a symbol,, but it was not a negative lyric towrds Prince

My Name Is Prince

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince the one and only
I did not come 2 funk around
'Tll I get your daughter I won't leave this town
In the beginning God made the sea
But on the 7th day he made me
He was tryin' to rest y'all when He heard the sound
Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down
I tried to bust a high note, but I bust a string
My God was worried 'til he heard me sing

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince the one and only - hurt me

(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
Hurt me (Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)

My name is Prince and I am funky
When it come to funk I am a junky
I know from righteous I know from sin
I got 2 sides and they both friends
Don't try 2 clock 'em, they're much too fast
If u try to stop 'em they kick that ass
Without a pistol, without a gun
When u hear my music you'll be havin' fun
That's when I gottcha that's when u mine
To tell the truth, tell me what's my line?

My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince the one and only - hurt me (You can't stop Prince)

(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
Funky fresh 4 the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody) (Prince)

My name is Prince, I don't wanna be king
Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream
Big cars and women and fancy clothes
Will save your face but it won't save your soul
I'm here to tell you that there's a better way
Would our Lord be happy if He came 2 day?
I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than u
But if u want 2 play with me, u better learn the rules

My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince the one and only (You can't stop Prince)
I did not come 2 funk around (You can't stop Prince)
'Till I get your daughter I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town
I won't leave this - leave this - leave this

My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince the one and only (You can't stop Prince)
Funky fresh 4 the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
Hurt me (Do that, do that, some....)

The funkier I be
The funkier I get, oh shit
Lickety split on the lyric
A new jack in the pulpit
Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'
What is this u're seekin'?
The syncopated rhymes are at their peak
When you jumped on my D.I.C.K.
That's the one thing that I don't play
The jock strap was 2 big 4 u anyway
U're just a simpleton
I'll bust u like a pimple, son
My star is 2 bright
Boy, I'll sink u like the ship Poseidon Adventure
U're bumpin' dentures 2 be cocksure
There must be more coming from
Your mouth than manure.
So with a flow and a spray, I say hey
U must become a prince before u're king anyway

(Do that, do that somebody)
(Do that, do that somebody)

It's time I get ig-nig-nig-nig-nig-nig-n-ignorant
Def be the beat that I'm rockin'
Yo so, come get a hit
And put your thinking cap on
U've been forewarned
I call upon the inner forces that I've got brewin'
In my cauldron. That means my nugget...
Sometimes I'm rugged
The style I posses be havin'
The other brothers buggin' and this is 4 those who oppose
And propose 2 overexpose disclose
Pose a threat 2 my brother
Like any other man makin' a stand
I'll be damned if I let u play this hand
I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked
What do u expect 2 win when u're used to playing craps?

(Do that, do that somebody)
Hell yeah, let's get this under the hmm...
(Do that, do that somebody)

"Damn." It's gettin' tricky
I mean it's a sticky situation
2 resurrect a groove with feeling
And give it this much affection
Passion flows and who knows
What lurks in the gallows of my mind
I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow
12 inches of non-stop sole
I'm on a roll with P, and it's time for the show
So do that, do that somebody
Wave your hands in the air
This is a motherfucking party
While u're laying back I'm on the attack paddywhack
Give yourself a bone
This is my house and I'm prone
2 layin' some chrome upside some motherfuckers dome
And I'm out...

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince the one and only

My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince

My name is Prince

Wasn't there a song by P. Diddy and Jagged Edge singing a song attributed to Notorius Big recently. Something about blah blah blah "and listen to Prince." I can't remember. I don't retain Diddy's music too long in my memory.

Bloodhound Gang, The Bad touch 1999

Make you do the type of stuff that only Prince would sing about.

The thread about Prince namechecking himself includes some references:

What Can I Do? by Ice Cube

Already done stack me half a mill ticket
Bought a house next to Prince, so now I can kick it
Now I got ends, wavin' to my friends, rollin' in my Benz
Goin' to see the Twins, play at the dome
Police are tappin' my mobile phone
I'm almost home


edit: and if i remember correctly, the line "bought a house next to Prince" is sampled and repeated throughout another Ice Cube song called "It Was a Good Day"

Samuelle -- lyrics by Vanity

Oh Samuelle,I'm running down the aisle
Wedding lace was written all over

I really want you,I really do
I really love you,rap on door,rap on door
ring bell,ring bell

Naughty little thing,we may never know
The prince and the showgirl
wonders if never,ever

Oh Samuelle,I cannot tell
If I sing to you,will you ring my doorbell?

You forgot "Call My Name"

Sunshine on a rainny day.

Once upon a time in a land called OZ.

Life's too short to deal with you.

penned and perfromed by your's truly.

I play the role like Prince, dammit

That was from a Sir Mix A Lot song..."Cakeboy", I do believe (it was a b-side from the Seminar album)

Terilicious said:

I did too

Usher, in "You Got It Bad" sings a line, "I Truly Adore You", a la Prince's song of the same name...

Yeah, we got it, and it was cool.

Salt n Pepa - What a man - 'Like Prince says your a sexy mutha (or something like that)

Beyonce and Jay Z - '03 Bonnie & Clyde
[Beyonce]
(Talk to 'em B)
If I was your girlfried,
I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you,
Even if that somebody is me
Yeah-hee (break it down for 'em)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
And I promise I'll give my life
and all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
Put this on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
I promise I'll give my life
my love and my trust if you was my boyfriend

Nasty Girl
...
[P. Diddy]
I need u to dance
I need u to strip
I need u to shake Ur little ass n hips
I need u to grind like Ur working for tips
N give me what I need while we listen to prince
Coz miss U ain't seen the world yet
Rocked la pearl yet
Rocked them pearl sets
Flew in em pearl jets (ooooohhhhh)
In a style make a low profile girl smile
Throw a chick back like a blue print trial
Now u n me can drink some Hennessy
Then we get it on
Mad women wantin to bone Sean combs
Sippin on Patron
Speeding we be leanin
Got em feeling
N when I give it to u throw it right back (right back)
Tell me Diddy 'Yeah I like it like that' (like that)
Lift your shirt
U know how I flirt
Heels and skirt
Let's take it off
Now lets work (lets work)

NpgKan said:

The lyrics go (if I remember rightly)...
I've been dope
suspenseful with a pencil
ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol.

VenusBlingBling said:

Yes! That one. Thanks.

June7 said:

Oh shit! I have been having an ongoing debate with one of our interns who insists that Usher is better than Prince. I cannot wait to point out that line.

(Although I'm sure he'll come up with some whack excuse to not acknowledge that even Usher is givin' props to P.)

jone70 said:

I laugh.... Uncontrollably.

Usher is OK, don't get me wrong! But if u want further ammo 4 the argument (not that there shud even b 1 in d'1st place) - Check out "Do It To Me" from the Confessions album. It is disgustingly just a complete rip off of "the Beautiful Ones".
+ I'm sure I heard Usher cover Shhh! (badly may I add) a few years back on a late night pirate radio show.

In his defence, "Throwback" off the same album is a Masterpiece!

The Italian rapper Caparezza told that in his opinion 1+1+1 isnt 3 but 1+1+1. 1+1+1 = 1+1+1; It was the "Le verità supposte" era.

Franco Battiato told it: "we need a Prince 4 love"...Kind of....

Lilith said:

Accuse my ignorance, but is this a Prince reference?

Accuse my ignorance, but is this a Prince reference?

Yes, it's a Prince reference. I've mentioned Caparezza bcuz in this album he mentioned Prince but he talked about him in a negative way....

Goldie Lookin Chain's "Guns Dont Kill People" namechecks Prince.
Does that count?

There's a song by Smog called 'Prince alone in the Studio', it's on the album Wild Love.
