We speak on this quite a bit.....in P&R.


True. He wrapped politics/social/religion all in that song. Love the title, "Colonized Mind" It grabs one's attention right away. When he does the guitar solo in it, you get that blues/rock feel and feel the lyrics too, the kind that touches the soul. I got a tiny bit of a "gospel" feel out of it too, but that's just me, what can I say?. smile I like when I could feel the song with the lyrics where it touches your soul.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

God what horrible lyrics. Prince is so confused and childish in his beliefs.

So to believe in evolution is to end up not caring about anything?
Always that religious JW shit in there.

hits so close to home the fear blinds you to what's really being said

get back to where wisdom begins to know what true fear really is
then bartimeus, my friend, you will see

bartimeus? is that your way of calling me blind? typical JW BS.... Not even a decent guitar riff can save horrible lyrics. How's that for deep?

we're told to shut up and be quiet in the name of free speech when words are spoken against us
yet when the sword is in another's hand the advice is not self-taken

did it cut you?

but since your God didn't layout his scientific process in the Bible, religions think evolution is false.

Check it out. I was thinking when I listened to those four tracks, that I've been getting the same vibe with every new song track since back when he was rapping. I'm wondering if trying to rap and more importantly, writing up rap lyrically totally corrupted him. Cuz doesn't it sound like he's half-ass rapping all the time nowadays?

Yeah and in fact if Prince wants to know how to get it back, all he has to do is watch his "lovesexy" gig over and over to remember how he did it. Shit, its all over Imeem (you know, in case he doesn't have it) smile.
