[Edited 4/8/08 0:58am]

HIGH

Prince gon' get U high

CHORUS:
I'll get U high again
I'll get U high
I'll get U high again
Prince gon' get U high

Ooh (Uh!)

Making your way through the neighborhood
Looking 4 some good boys, toys
Bobbin' your tail 2 another one of Prince' jams
Tryin' 2 look real coy

When they pull up right beside ya (Say, baby)
And ask if they can ride ya (Where the party at?)
Your horn goes beep
The music in the jeep goes...

We got the music get U high again
Got the beat make U act like a hooligan
Got the rhyme make U tell a friend
Prince gon' get U high

CHORUS

Every now and then, U're having one of them days
With people gettin' on your last nerve
No matter how U cut it, nothing seem 2 go your way
U wanna quit this job, get your swerve on

Turn the radio up, it's a new day
The only way 2 see is your way
The door goes slam
Now U sing this jam, go...

We got the music get U high again
We got the beat make U act like a hooligan
We got the rhyme make U tell a friend
Prince gon' get U high

CHORUS
(Ooh-ho)
(Ohh)
(Ooh, yeah yeah yeah)

(How U gonna let another human?)
How U gonna let another human stand in the way of this truth
Whose quarters is the quarters U putting in the telephone booth
25-1, U gon' have some fun
Put your hands up (Oh!)
If y'all ready 4 the next run

Prince gonna get U high {x6}

We got the music 2 get U high again
Got the beat that make U act like a hooligan
Got the rhyme, make U tell a friend
Prince gon' get U high

We got the music 2 get U high again
Got the beat that make U act like a hooligan

All I wanna do is get U high again (High high high)
Gonna get U high (High high high)
Prince gonna get U high again (High high high)
Check it out...

If U've ever been down real low
Put the jam in the jeep let's go and get U high again (Come on)
In the mornin', I'll get U high
Whenever U ain't feeling 2 good
I'll get U high again - U don't need nobody
Prince gonna get U high - yeah!
I'll get U high
Prince gonna get U high
Oh, Prince gonna get U high?

MY MEDALLION
Uh uh, mm mm
Say fellas
U ever have one them girls that just... bad?
Know what I mean?
Nah, I ain't talkin' about fine, I'm talkin' about bad
Cuss all the time, steal... man she rob her own mom
Down at the post office got 2 pictures
I'm talkin' about one of Bebe's kids, y'all - bad!
Hear me?
Oh, she fine 2...fine

Don't know why, I want that girl {x2}

'Twas the middle of the summer
Rather late in the day
This pretty thang, she walked up 2 me
She said she was good 2 play
She told me 2 close my eyes
So she could get a kiss
I said, "Sure, honey" and obliged (Sure, honey)
Girl snatched my medallion and called me a bitch, running!

Don't know why, I want that girl {x4}

I found out her place of employment
Dry cleaning - "We do fine" (Ha ha ha ha ha...)
2 manifest a little unenjoyment in her life
Was all that was running through the middle of my mind
There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise
See my baby, she gave me that medallion
And it, uh, U know, it mean a lot 2 me
So, so I walked up in that piece with a disguise on
And I said, "Hey!
I don't know what your name or your game is
But U better get your G-hind down on the floor
Cuz U see, I'm in a mood 2 do something koo-koo 2 U"
So she gave me that kiss and ran out the back door, ow!

Don't know why, I want that girl
Don't know why, but I want that girl
Don't know why, I want that girl
Don't know why, but I want that girl

Oh, turning around the corner
Thought that she would get by, huh - much 2 her surprise
Michael Yardbird dropped both his crutches downstairs
Tripped baby on her backside
Holdin' on the banister, sliding down slow
U know he about 2 fall down all them stairs, yo
My medallion's on the center line
She dropped my piece in the middle of the street
The taxi cab about 2 run it down (Beep beep, oh yeah)
But when the bling-bling caught the driver's eyes
He slammed on his brakes and jumped out his ride
And as he was just about 2 put his fat neck up in my jewels
(Uhn uhn uhn, nigga!)
Yardbird bounced down the stairs of that house
Crushing the bad girl like the Union Army crushed the Deep South
And when the driver turned his head 2 get his peek on
I entered at my medallion and broke the other way
Sister was limpin' but she was kinda good 2 play

Don't know why I want that girl {x4}
(Don't, man)
(Why)

Sex me, baby

Speaking of which, U say U like it

Look at my hips (Look at my hips)

Should U take another pill after mornin'
Or play the fool?

CHORUS
(Come on)
(Hot hot hot...)

Come and get happy

Make it go down in the back of the bus

Make a brother happy (What?)
On your knees

GOLDEN PARACHUTE
Hey! {x2}
(Hey)

Golden parachute

Do U wanna - golden parachute {x4}

Here's 50 million dollars - go'n leave us alone
(Do U wanna, do U wanna - golden parachute)
In appreciation 4 all the creations we now own - do U wanna?
(Do U wanna, do U wanna - golden parachute)
U brought us jazz, rhythm & blues, hip-hop
Even soul, ohh, golden parachute (Do U wanna - golden parachute)
2 own every piece of intellectual property - this is our goal
(Do U wanna, do U wanna)
Oh, yes it is (Golden, golden)
Golden, golden, golden gold
(Do U wanna - golden parachute)

Here's 50 million dollars, 2 go along with this boot!
(Do U wanna, do U wanna - golden parachute)
Just keep your mouth shut, and never tell of the plan
2 conquer and control the very soul of man
(Do U wanna, do U wanna)

Do U wanna - golden parachute
Oh oh oh oh oh! (Do U wanna, do U wanna - golden parachute)

This is a tribute 4 all your accomplishments (Golden parachute)
The design of a system that allows 4 tax breaks and benefits
(Golden parachute)
Sugar, do U wanna? (Do U wanna - golden parachute - do U wanna)

17 years old, misled by so-called parachute
Down this cold road (Do U wanna)
Into this web of deception (Spiders and snakes and bears)
Money made but never spent, never mentioned (Golden parachute)
Ah let's make a toast, 2 the host, 2 the man with the most (Do U wanna)
They worship U, all up under U, applauding (Golden parachute)
One who in truth created nothing, nothing
In essence, a fraud

Golden parachute {repeats till end}

WHEN WILL WE B PAID?
CHORUS:
When will we be paid 4 the work we've done
When will we be paid 4 the work we've done

We fought in your wars in every land
2 keep this country free, y'all, 4 women, children and men
But every time we ask 4 pay or a loan
That's when everything seems 2 turn out wrong
We been beat up, called names, shot down and stoned
Every time we do right, somebody say we're wrong

Tell me...

CHORUS

Listen...
We worked this country (Say it!) from shore 2 shore (Well)
Our women cooked all your food (Food) and washed all your clothes
We picked cotton and laid the railroad steel (Said we laid it)
Worked our hands down 2 the bone at your lumber mill
(At your lumber mill)

Tell me...

CHORUS

Will we ever be proud of "My country, tis of thee"?
Will we ever sing out loud, "Sweet land of Liberty"?
When will we be paid (Tell us) 4 the work we've done? (Well?)
I wanna know {x2}
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know (When, when, when, when)

(CHORUS) {x2}
Why can't we be paid?
Oh, oh when, when will we be paid?
We've given up our sweat, now, and all of our tears
Stumbled through this life 4 more than 300 years
I, I wanna know, the work we've done

SUPERCUTE
She arrived on a 747 about twenty to eleven
she comes to see him, him as in me, she comes to see
and it's never complicated, other women kinda faded
whenever I call she gets dressed up and all

Supercute
Maybe it's cuz she comes from East LA but every time I see her body on display
I gotta call her name from the DJ booth strobe light flash and U know the truth
baby got game, she'll take your loot keys to the crib with no dispute
when u see her dancin' in her birthday
Supercute

Together we wonder how we got enslaved and why
and Jericho falls when we all deserve the light
Why a man wanna lie, I look at her eyes, they're wild, she smiles

Supercute
Maybe it's cuz she comes from East LA but every time I see her body on display
I gotta call her name from the DJ booth strobe light flash and U know the truth
baby got game, she'll take your loot keys to the crib with no dispute
when u see her dancin' in her birthday
Supercute

On a dare I wanna see if she'll share
the kinda toy she uses when I'm not there
not at all she swears I don't care I'll make her buy another one
and a new dress to wear, zzz goes the toy against her curly hair
now she must confess how she really like to play
what if she don't I lower the speed and bad words she'll say
tell me how u play even in her anger she's still

Supercute
Maybe it's cuz she comes from East LA but every time I see her body on display
I gotta call her name from the DJ booth strobe light flash and U know the truth
baby got game, she'll take your loot keys to the crib with no dispute
when u see her dancin' in her birthday

UNDERNEATH THE CREAM
Wait a minute...
Turn the, turn the phones up
Yeah, cool

Lookin' out the window of a big black limousine
Thinkin' 'bout your thighs, wishin' I was somewhere in between
In one single motion, deep inside your ocean
I just wanna be, ooh

Underneath the cream
Can't stop thinkin' about your thighs
Somewhere in between
That's where I wanna be, that's where I wanna be
Underneath the cream
U and I
Somewhere in between
Your thighs

Cell phone, passport, all your inhibitions
Spread out on the floor
Deep inside your life-givin' ocean, babe
(Deep inside, coco ocean, sugarpop)
Rests my consciousness (Let me stay) just a little more

Is what I wanna do, baby

So talk 2 me
Don't get me started
Come into this wet dream-eternal
Pretend I am U and teach me without shame
Take my hand, put it in the place
That turned U out the most last time U came
Useless deliberation, leads to frustration
Trust me, I know
Somewhere in between 7 days and nights
That's how far, baby
U wanna go?

Underneath the cream

Can't stop thinkin about your thighs
Somewhere in between
That's where I wanna be, that's where I wanna be
Underneath the cream
U and I
Somewhere in between
Your thighs, your thighs

(Underneath the cream)
Somewhere in between this wet dream, it seems
I never shoulda let U go
But now that U've returned I yearn 2 learn
All the feelings U never dared 2 show
Come into this wet dream eternal
Pretend I am U and uh, let's... oh!
Somewhere in between, I dreamed
Underneath the cream

(Underneath the cream)
Tell me, tell me, tell me (Tell me)
Whatcha waitin' on baby, tell me
We can do this thing, yeah
Underneath the cream
We need 2 get back down
Cuz I've got something
Groovy groovy groovy...
(Underneath the cream)
It's groovy underneath the cream

THE DAISY CHAIN
Oww!
Scream one more time
Scream, scream one more time
Oww!
Bless my soul, save my name
I ain't never goin' down to the daisy chain!

Just a young man tryin' to feel the flow
(Flow, flow, flow)
Got no idea what the chain is for
(No idea, No idea)
The lesson on the t.v. blush and bye
(Yeah, yeah)
Cop a teeny whiplashed, but still he tries

Bless my soul, save my name
I ain't never going down to the daisy chain!
Black girl givin' it up
White girl givin' it up
Black girl givin' it up
White girl givin' it up

Tell me now what's on the stereo
Funky like a junkie with corn rows
That's why your behind's so narrow
(So narrow)
Switchen numbers with the video
Leave ya with a headache, no more fame
I ain't never going down to the daisy chain!
Black girl givin' it up
White girl givin' it up
Black girl givin' it up
White girl givin' it up

Girls gonna keep on givin' it up
A mouse to the trap, the cheese is up
A little bit of pleasure for the guilty pain
Think about it sister, now you're livin' in shame...
Gots no hips 2 vibrate
(Mm mm)
That's why you gets no page
Everyone of y'all suspect
I takes no blame
(takes no blame)
I writes no cheques
(no cheques)
I ain't never going down to the daisy chain!
I ain't never going down to the daisy chain!(repeat)
(Black girl givin' it up)
(White girl givin' it up)(repeat x 2)
Ahoo, ooh ooh ooh
Ahoo, ooh ohh ooh
(Daisy chain)
Ahoo, ooh ohh ooh
(Givin' it up)
Ahoo, ooh ohh ohh

I knew a dancer, her name was Kelly
Nickname Candy with a hoop through her belly
A tongue ring with a voice to sing
With a body like whooo, die peace, everything
See I used to deliver pizza to her house
But tonight she said, "Yo, Come in and chill out"
I came in, sat down, I was lookin' around
What I found, I found she was steppin' out a gown
I had to stop that girl in her tracks
I said let me tell you something by a guy that raps
Yo, why buy you if he can just lease you
Why iron you if he can just crease you
Why try you if he won't breed you
Why drive through if he won't eat you
Why V.I.P. you if he can nose bleed you
Ok, stop cryin'
Sorry, I'll leave you
Daisy chain
Daisy chain
Daisy chain
Daisy chain
Daisy chain
This will make your hips vibrate, make your hip vibrate
This will make your hips vibrate, make your hip vibrate
Make your hip vibrate, make your hip vibrate
Vibrate
Daisy chain
Leave you with a headache, daisy chain
Daisy chain
Alright, what's happenin'?
Minneapolis, do it till we die
Sugar cheezies
(Laughter to fade)

SILICON
Welcome 2 the slaughterhouse

Silicon
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon
The rope of silicon

One day U'll get outside the doo-rag
When U really want 2 contemplate this, jacked up (Jacked up)Paranormal situation that your people got into
Can I hip U?
Long ago who considered the outcome?
Now I'm thinking that a cat like U would be troublesome
And sock U in the mind tangling curriculum
Guaranteed 2 leave U in a state of delirium
While all along teaching they kids in the valley 2 become unlike U:
broke and dumb

Just a rope of silicon
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon
Rope of silicon

On a magical rope of silicon
U can bet that they'll be chillin' in Babylon
Thinking about a way that they can split the proton
While U eating all the bloody chicken and dead prawn
Mickey D. shake and a filet mignon
Swearing up and down U the picture of health, now come on!

Just a rope of silicon (Dance)
Just a rope of silicon
Rope of silicon
U're just a rope of silicon (U)

2 the slaughterhouse

Leave that blood alone
Don't U know that dead blood kills interferons
Making the immune system victim 2 whereupon
Any known virus can boot up and log on
ww.U.com

CHORUS:
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon

Rope of silicon {x3}
Just a rope of silicon
Now U've found me, now that U're here
Let's talk about the U in this con
If U're getting bored don't front, just yawn
This is the kind of stuff that requires patience
Never mind the rhyme just relax and wax the song
That on and on and on and on
Ain't gonna stop 'till the early mornin'
Break it down, later on come break down, y'all
What?

Dance {x5}
(Dance on the funk)
Just dance
(Dance on the funk)
Dance
(Dance on the funk)
Just dance
(Dance on the funk)

CHORUS
Rope of silicon
Just a rope of silicon
Just a rope...

This is why U was looking 4 me? Then check it
Let's talk about the U in this con
If U're getting bored don't front, just yawn
Cuz this is the kind of stuff that requires patience
Don't think, just wax on
If U are the eye that is the pawn
U beget the dead fruit of Armageddon
Thick skin reigns in the realm of the pseudonym
While the blows taken by the silly con
The family does well with God 2 keep it strong
Never a paradox, never a hexagon
U plus he or she keep going on
But with another one of U in the title of this song

Goes on and on and on and on and on and on

CHORUS

Dance, dance on the funk {x10}
Dance {x2}

U MAKE MY SUN SHINE
Come on over here baby, uh
Put your ass right down here on this throne
Don't U say nary a little word
Until U learn how 2 leave, leave that devil alone

Let me run it down
I'd keep your paper coming in real steady
I could tell U what the "I" in the pimp stands 4
If U're ready, ready, ready
Your eyes are wide shut
U cannot even see
That behind your back, he calls U names
But U're still a queen 2 me

Gotta never stop believing in me, myself, and I (Me)

Pretty little lies that the rich keep using
I opened up my eyes
The only reason they're winning is 'cuz I keep losing
Gotta get back 2 my rightful place
This is the subject of my song
The queen of the human race
This is where I belong

In this trusted place U can erase (Can erase)
Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
(Every little tear droppin')
All the time U waste in that paper chase (U, time)
Is time better spent in these arms of mine (These arms of mine)
Heaven sent angel so divine (Heaven sent)
U're my complement (So divine)
U make my sun shine at night

My lover, U're truly killing me
With the words I wish in every song
Come here now pretty baby let me take U somewhere
And put your real clothes back on
We've both been in the dark much 2 long
But now that we got the knowledge of the truth we can both be strong
Kings and queens gettin' it on!

Trusted place U can erase
Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face
All the time U waste (Wasted time)
In that paper chase
(Can't U see that it's all time better spent right here)
Is time better spent in these arms of mine
My heaven sent angel so divine (Sweet angel, U're so divine)

OK that's all.

I remember the first time I heard HIGH was at a celebration and it was towards the end of the night or set change....I remember Prince sitting behind a gate (3 feet from me) and was dancing to this while it was played over the PA. Man, it was kind of cool to be in there and have Prince jsut sitting a few feet from you. I remember my brother went to the wash room and I was watching Common or someone perform and when he came back he was loke "yo, Prince is sitting back here next to the sound board." There he was sitting on a stool sipping on a straw out of a plastic mug....Mani was sitting next to him.

WOW WOW WOW!!!

yeah, Prince was pretty cool around that time
pre-2004, he'd just hang with the fans and no one would bug him too much
just let him be and appreciate his being there
"and it was good"
