One of my favorite songs, if not THE best song on TRC.
Lyrically and musically...especially live. Was slightly different during the European leg of the tour...( short,added "Jefferson" line..."YES, I OWNED SLAVES TOO !!") Brilliant, futuristic song...maybe some find it offensive but I like it much more than Avalanche, which also deals with the topic slavery... " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

It's one of those songs that represents the teeth of TRC. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Love it. Love it. Love it!
Especially the "Teacher, teacher" verse. Being Native American myself, I love the way he flips the script in that verse. "Or did I arrive before you and ruin Thanksgiving Day?" This song also showcases his falsetto better than any in recent memory - it's tight as hell. | |

What I love about this song is the way Prince closes the record out with Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech.
I lot of folks get pissed off at this song and it's message .If you happen to be one of those pissed off people,listen to the end of the song & the words of Dr. King. In the last 3 songs of TRC,Prince exposes the problem.(The centuries of lying & propaganda) Then offers a solution.(The Everlasting Now.) Lastly gives you a little extra to think about. (Is this my Last December?) Deep ! p.s. And the song is funkier than James Brown's draws. |

I love this song, i did wish however that the spoken intro would be a seperate track, that way i don't have 2 listen 2 it everytime when i want 2 hear this song. I really loved the live renditions of this song "Time is a train, makes the future the past" | |

It is my fav song of the album with a couple of others (mellow and Last December are among them...) "Goodness will guide us when love is inside of us... The Force will be with you, always" | |

I think that this intro (eve if it is along one) is a real part of the song... So I do agree with it being part of the song and on the same track number... "Goodness will guide us when love is inside of us... The Force will be with you, always" | |

its ok, whats the big hype over it i dont know. dig the lyrics the groove gives me a country feel, so u know a brother dont like 2 go 2 country. but, everywhere is a great song along with sensual everafter the bomb. stickman | |

Love it. It seems quite a few people have spoken their mind on not liking it and the message behind the song. joelmarable, I don't know where you get the country feel (that's your opinion, cool), but I get a pure funk feel with it. The use of the overdriven bass makes me do the stanky-funk-face! Slick. The live versions I've heard definitely do the song justice too. I am MrVictor.... | |
