Show Yo' Love! Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance



She knew which fork 2 use


But she couldn't dance


So he hipped her 2 the funk


In exchange 4 the finance


Who's pimping who when
Nobody gets a second chance?


This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

She was older


But rich beyond compare


She'd drop a thousand dollars
At the salon
Just 2 get her hair did


He was good at compliments
Better in the bunk
She laced him with a crib in Paris


He hipped her 2 the funk


Way 2 fine he was 4 her
A dirty dog in expensive fur


As long as she's providing chips and whips
We can do this funky thang


As long as she was playing the host
He figured he would make the most of them hips and lips
He hooked her up, rocked her coast 2 coast


She was so ugly
But rich beyond compare


Dropped a couple hundred thousand
Dollars on a silver whip
Just 2 match the color of her hair


She said "Eye got plenty of what U need
Put the spoon down honey
Come on let mama feed U"


She knew which fork 2 use



But she couldn't dance


So he hipped her 2 the funk


In exchange 4 the finance


Who's pimping who when
Nobody gets a second chance?


This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

Where was eye? Oh yeah
A gentleman he was
He never spoke about her nose


So prominent because
In the dark it glowed
If she was only tan
Instead of so lily white
Her name was Doris
But he called her "Flo"
As in 'rescent
That ain't right
Fluorescent
Every night
A situation bound 2 fail
As sure as Doris'
Skin was pale


Money might talk
But what does it say?
"U better get busy if U wanna get paid


Boy, eye was fine back in the day"


She knew which fork 2 use



But she couldn't dance


So he hipped her 2 the funk


In exchange 4 the finance


Who's pimping who when
Nobody gets a second chance?


This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

Now dance
Dance


He spent her money oh so well
Takin' baths in cold Cristal

"Mrs Wellington!" Under The Cherry Moon (1986)

© Warner Bros



He took a trip 2 burn an old flame in 'Frisco
Like wow!


When Doris caught him in her arms
She shrugged her shoulders and said "No harm..."
"Just put ur name on this pre-nup
And we can all hit the disco!"


She knew which fork 2 use



But she couldn't dance


So he hipped her 2 the funk


In exchange 4 the finance


Who's pimping who when
Nobody gets a second chance?


This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

She knew which fork 2 use



But she couldn't dance


So he hipped her 2 the funk


In exchange 4 the finance


Who's pimping who when
Nobody gets a second chance?


This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

Now, dance

That was really cool. I need to give this song a spin.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
