Feline 27:47 version

I just came across this boot and would like some background on it.
It's "Feline" but extremely longer than the other boot I have.
Also there are lyrics that start around the 8 minute mark.
Prince is on vocals and some of the lyrics are definitely the same as Sheila E.'s ,"I'm badder than the wicked witch..." from Holly Rock.
I always saw "Feline" credited as being an instrumental meant for the Family but never released.
Was there more to the story?
When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

'Feline' was never meant as an instrumental.

It had full lyrics which St. Paul didn't want to sing because of his family and religious beliefs.

The studio track that's circulating is a previous take before the vocals had been added. Much like 'Possessed #2' which is NOT an instrumental version, as well.

The version of Feline you're listening to is a rehearsal, the full version lasting 33:12.

Were the full lyrics ever published anywhere?

I don't think so.
