it's about the "prince" will. since he was 
and 'prince' was supposedly dead at the time. shot to kill probably refers to the gun mic he used in the final stages of being 'prince'. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

So it's a reference to killing off Prince, saying he meant to do it and it was for keeps? It would tie in with the bit about "Somebody once told him that he wouldn't take Prince through the ringer" which perhaps is about a record executive challenging him when he first threatened to kill the Prince name, like, 'oh yeah, he'll never risk losing his Prince name". | |

The suits tried to bury him like they did Elvis but he turned the tables on 'em by knocking Prince off. "Sign the name they gave ya, but when the muthaf*ckas turn around ass up, you're what? Face Down!" I love the hell outta that song.  Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |
