Would U dog him?

Can a boy who drops out at school
At 13 years of age
Answer the 2 of life and death
When it slaps him in the face?
Who's 2 blame when he's got no place 2 go
And all he's got is the sense 2 know
That a life of crime'll help him beat U in the race
Help him beat U in the race (Help him beat U in the race)

Wave your hands 4 positivity y'all!
All the boys and all the girls (All the boys and all the girls)
U R the new kings of the world!
Shall the court sing together

"In every man's life there will be a hang-up
A whirlwind designed 2 slow U down
It cuts like a knife and tries 2 get in U
This Spooky Electric sound
Give up if U want 2 and all is lost
Spooky Electric will be your boss"

Call People magazine, Rolling Stone
Call your next of kin, cuz your ass is gone
He's got a 57 mag with the price tag still on the side
Cuzzin' when Spooky say dead, U better say died
Or U can fly high right by Spooky and all that he crawls 4
Spooky and all that he crawls 4

Don't kiss the beast
We need love & honesty, peace & harmony
Positivity
Love & honesty, peace & harmony
I said, hold on 2 your soul, U got a long way 2 go

sho' nuff, sho' nuff, sho' nuff

Don't kiss the beast
Be superior at least

Hold on 2 your soul, y'all, court, sing
Hold on 2 your soul, we got a long way 2 go
Hold on 2 your soul

Sometimes It Snows In April

"Love isn't love until it's passed"



And I know they're not his lyrics but Can't Make You Love Me :

"I'll close my eyes, then I won't see, the love you don't feel, when you're holding me"

I need to hear that song again, haven't heard it in ages....

Others Here With Us

When I'm alone, my mind takes a drive
Through chocolate religion and spirits alive
All I was brought up in this world 2 know
Is lost when a demon swallows them whole

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know
It's strange how your mind works when Love is in power
One learns 2 care and appreciate a flower
What makes others want 2 change your mind?
All the things I've seen, life is so sublime

7-month-old baby died in her sleep
The parents went crazy and cried 4 a week
They swore they heard her laugh in the crib by the wall
They're convinced she's with us if she's anything at all
There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)
Bobby had an uncle who took a string
And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing
If only we can turn back the hands of time
Except there's others here with us, life is sublime
There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)
All the things I've seen

This is a very moving song and when I heard about the baby ! I almost cried,so sad !

There are really not enough hours in the day to name them all, but here's one song:
Condition of the Heart

There was a girl in Paris
Whom he sent a letter 2
Hoping she would answer back
Now wasn't that a fool
Hardy notion on the part of a
Sometimes lonely musician
Acting out a whim is only good
4 a condition of the heart

There was a dame from London
Who insisted that he love her
Then left him 4 a real prince
From Arabia, now isn't that
A shame that sometimes money
Buys U everything and nothing
Love, it only seems 2 buy a
Terminal condition of the heart

Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

There was a woman from the ghetto
Who made funny faces just like
Clara Bow, how was I 2 know
That she would wear the same
Cologne as U and giggle the same
Giggle that U do?
Whenever I would act a fool, the fool
With a condition of the heart

Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every single day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris)
whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2)
(Hoping she would answer back)
She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy)
He's got a condition of the heart.

Is my character enuff 2 b, one that deserves a copy made. This I one day, I hope to see.

I think to this day this is a question for him that he seriously ponders. Me too. I don't think I'll EVER know the answer to this question. With the tomfoolery that I b up to, I question the quality of my character to bring another person into this world.

You're always on my mind, day and night, baby all the time.
You mean so much to me, a love like ours just ought to be.
Your the wind and the rain, You are the river that takes away my pain.
The sky's oh so blue, Your everything girl, won't you love me too.
You are the only thing that keeps me going, You are the only thing that keeps my love alive.
You are the only thing that I'll ever need. You don't have to worry, you see my love is forever.



This album was released on my birthday. Which is what I celebrate on April 7th...not my age. And coincidentally..."My Love is Forever" runs 4 minutes, 9 seconds...The day that I met Prince...April 9th...and I'll tell u this amazes me..because I loved Prince music through Purple Rain, until I realized it. It's a strange twist of fate, and it means the world to me.

Damn u, u're so fine
Seems 2 happen 2 me each and every time we make love
I can't hold back
It's like having a hundred million little heart attacks
Damn u, baby u're so fine
Damn this kooky love affair
All I ever want 2 do is play in your hair
2 people crazy in love
Into 1 another like a hand in a glove
Damn this kooky love affair
Like animals just born 2 breed
Come 2 think about cha baby
U're my only need
I'm on fire 'til u come and put me out
All I'm trying 2 say is that my psychadelic shouts
When u damn me
Damn u
When I'm in your arms it's all that I can do
When we're makin' love, I can't hold back
It's like having a hundred million little heart attacks
Damn u, baby u're so fine



There are other ballads that I prefer, but lyrically, this is pure poetry!

no one man will be ruler, therefore love must rule us all
dishonesty, anger, fear, jealousy and greed will fall
Love can save us all

we R not alone people (we're not alone)
tell me can U see the light (can ya see the light)

Love, Love, its not that far away if we all say yes and give it a try
(Got ta give it...a try...yes!) still would stand all time U
soul right on the here & now

"Spirit"

In the sands of time I'm running out.

It will never be unfulfilled, and the deck will be filled with aces.
whenever the spirit wills, it leads to higher places.

When all seems lost youv'e got to try..to never let your spirit die.
Never let your spirit die.

Must try to be the chosen few...and keep that love alive.

pop guns and weed brother please
we're 2 wise 4 nonsense the other 90's were better suited 4 that biz

i've got a tech 9 2 and it's called my brain
shoot another brother not 2day
death from envy is the only way
i can tear shit up y'all cause that's my style
these r the days of wild hit me

hooker bitch and ho i don't think so
i only knew 1 but never told her though
i thought about it many times (diss me?)
but that's the kind of shit that will make u check yo mind
is ur blood type the type that flows
or is ur blood type the type that steroes
a woman everyday should b thanked
not disrespect not raped or spanked
and if a woman every said i did
she's a motherfucking liar and i'm a set up kid
i can tear shit up y'all cause that's my style
and these r the days of wild hit me

tennis shoes and caps now that's phat
up until the day another wants 2 laugh behind yo back
say we all look the same god bless america the home of the brave
i'd rather dress 2 make a woman stare
i'm putting on something that another won't dare
it's a freezer burn compared 2 cool
and if u still got loot then who's the fool
but everybody wants 2 take the stand
mind ur own motherfucker and let a man b a man
i can tear shit up y'all cause that's my style
and these r the days of wild

B...L...U...E...Blue.

Especially for those in Memphis today....

Uno para todos, y todos para uno {One 4 all and all 4 one}
March, we march

(Whoa) {x6 in BG}
March, we march {x2}

If this is the same avenue my ancestors fought 2 liberate
How come I can't buy a piece of it even if my credit's straight?
If all the water's dirty and I wanna lay the pipe, my dammy
The river that I drink from, will it be the same as your mammy?

CHORUS:
Now's the time 2 find a rhyme (Yeah)
That's got a reason and frees the mind (Yeah)
From angry thoughts, the racist kind (Yeah)
If we all wanna a change then come on get in line
Next time we march (Whoa)
We're kickin' down the door
Next time we march (Whoa)
All is what we're marchin' 4

If this is the same sister that U cannot stop calling a bitch (Bitch)
It will be the same one that will leave your broke ass in a ditch (Ditch)
If U can't find a better reason 2 call this woman otherwise
Then don't cry, U made the bed in which U lie

CHORUS

(Whoa) {x4 in BG}
March, we march (Come on)
March, we march
Yes we do!

Dig..
Now we clarify 4ever, in other words as long as it takes
We ain't got no use 4 ice cream without the cake (Umm)
We ain't got no time 4 excuses, the promised land belongs 2 all
We can march in peace but U best watch your back if another leader falls

March, we march
[Feet stompin'!]
March, we march

He said it, she said it and I say...
Now's the time (now's the time) 2 find a rhyme (Yeah)
That's got a reason (Yeah) and frees the mind (free your mind)
From angry thoughts, the racist kind (Yeah)
If we all wanna a change then come on get in line (Get in line!)
Next time we march (Whoa)
We're kickin' down the door
Next time we march (Hey yeah) (Whoa)
All is what were marchin' 4 (Whooaa)

Next time we march (Oh yeah) (Whoa)
Kickin' down the door
Next time we march (Hey yeah) (Whoa)
All is what were marchin' 4

The fun don't stop the bacon
That's when the money gonna stop the shakin'

I know that next time we march, yeah

Can't reply to this w/o mentioning Gold... which as whole stirs my soul

Damn U...




He gets me a lot with the delivery of the lyrics just as much as the lyrics themselves.



This question is actualy pretty difficult cuz there's so much. And I think the delivery is what's making me swoon more than the lyrics... but with Gold, it IS the lyrics... or the music

"Still Would Stand ALL Time"

You better run to the light, leave your past behind!

I xpected that!

*if i was your girlfriend
would u remember?
to tell me all of the things you forgot (he wants a bond with her )
when i was your man!.. hey hey.. when i was your man..
if i was your best friend
would u let me
take care of u? (bond )
and do all the things
that only a best friend can (bond )
only best friends can

If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend


if i was your girlfriend
would u let me dress u? (bond )
i mean, help u pick out your clothes
before we go out
not that you're helpless
but sometimes, sometimes
those are the things
that bein' in love's about

If I was your one and only friend
Would U run 2 me if somebody hurt U
Even if that somebody was me? (omgosh a bond )
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be*


this song is about a man singing to a woman emotionally.. he is opening his heart up to her and wants intimacy.. this is beyond sex.. for a man to want this.. is a woman's fantasy dream.. he wants intimacy ..and then he goes into wanting to wash her hair, hanging out @ the movies, crying together over the film , .. Prince had SERIOUS inspiration when he wrote this song... my gosh .. *needs Kleenex now*

Flowerz said:

He did
It's so cute. I heard the whole story behind it. How he was with Susannah at the time and was somewhat jealous of the closeness she had with Lisa & Wendy and he felt a little left out. He wanted that kind of relationship with Susannah
Can't help but sympathize with him. The delivery of every line is just beautiful in itself. Especially in the parts where he repeats the last part of a line.


I'd like to add another song to the mix.
Haha... actually they're not the lyrics of the song... the music "Circle of Amour" stirs my soul and makes me want to feel like dancing... so beautiful. And it seems to go into the same issues... about the closeness girlfriends have with one another... so sweet
