Was listening to this in the car the other day and there's something that's always bugged me. Shortly after the little fella asks the crowd to start singing 'free the slave' they comply with his request but also start singing something else that the band pick up on and play along with. For the life of me, I cannot tell what they are shouting at him.

It's no biggie but if anybody knows, please post.

Free the Slave - Play that muttha' fucking bass!

Days Of Wild

Welcome 2 the Dawn
U've just accessed the Wild Experience

(Hold, hold, hold onto your wigs!)

Break down! Huh, this is a bust (Hold onto your wigs!)
All U sorry motherfuckers up against the wall
If U don't play, bite the dust
Cuz in a couple of simple fuckin' phrases
I'm gonna hip U 2 the fuckin' plays of
The brand new mad style - y'all say!
(These are the days of wild)
Hell yeah!

(Hold onto your wigs!) {x2}

Pop guns and weed? Brother please!
We're 2 wise 4 nonsense
The other 90s was better suited 4 that biz
Back when Dick was fuckin' Liz
Before soda pop had fizz
Don't blame it on your jockstrap full of jizz
Mentality so insane
I 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, that's my style
These are the days of wild – put'em up!

CHORUS:
(Hold onto your wigs!)
These are the days of wild
(Hold onto your wigs!)
These are the days of wild

Hooker, bitch and ho, I don't think so
I only knew one and never told her though
I thought about it many times (Diss me?)
That's the kind of shit 2 make U check your mind
Is your blood type the type that flows?
Is your blood type the type just stereo?
A woman every day should be thanked
Not disrespected, not raped or spanked
And if a woman ever said I did
She's a motherfuckin' liar and I'm a set-up kid
I'ma tear shit up y'all, that's my style
These are the days of wild!

(Hold onto your wigs!)
These are the days of wild
(Hold onto your wigs!)
Oh oh oh, by the way, I play bass guitar!
(Wild)
These are the days {x2}
(Wild)
These are the days of wild

Tennis shoes and caps, now that's phat
Up until the day another wanna laugh behind your back
Sayin' we all look the same
God bless America, home of the brave
I'd rather dress 2 make a woman stare
I'm puttin' on somethin' that another won't dare
It's a freezer burn compared 2 cool
If U still got loot, then who's the fool?
Everybody wanna take the stand
Mind your own motherfucker, let a man be a man
I'ma tear shit up y'all, that's my style
These are the days of wild – put'em up!

CHORUS

Keep that shit goin', break it down!
Wait a min... wa... wait, wait
Yeah, right there, don't move (Right there)
Justin, turn the lights off
Stop the cameras, turn the lights off

Looky here
Minneapolis, can U do me a favor?
I need 2 hear your voices 2night
I wanna check my choir
I want everybody in this whole building
"Free the slave"
Can U say that?
Let me hear ya – "Free the slave"
Come on, everybody (Free the slave)
2 funky, say it (Free the slave)
U keep the 4 and it be 2 good, come on (Free the slave)
I can't hear ya! (Free the slave)
Ah hell yeah, gimme the beat, let me hear ya (Free the slave)
Minneapolis in the house, now say it (Free the slave)
Rock 'n' roll's alive 2night y'all, let me hear ya, uh (Free the slave)
Everybody got a little slave in 'em 2night, say it (Free the slave)
Come on band, come on band, all y'all say it! (Free the slave)

CHORUS

(Wild) {x4}
Break it down, oh
Minneapolis
Lordy, Lordy, uh, hell yeah
(Free the slave – play that muthafuckin' bass!) {crowd chants}
On the 1, Tommy, go!
(Wild)

CHORUS

(Free the slave) These are the days, these are the days {x4}
Come on band

CHORUS

On the 1, yeah!

Not being rude

but its always pointless replying with a transcript of the lyrics unless prince himself sanctioned it which he didnt......

These lyrics depsite being in my oponion correct are merely a fans interpretation

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what they're saying... if that's the part the OP is talking about.

[Edited 1/25/12 22:46pm]

Sorry to derail this topic, but I too have a question about "Days Of Wild".

This picture was posted in the Musicology era thread. It's from the RNR Hall Of Fame. Read what it says about "Days Of Wild".. I'm pretty sure they're misinformed -

It says:

"Days Of Wild ... Recorded by Prince and the Revolution ... intended for release on a three-album set proposed name Crystal Ball (1987) Warner Bros. ... Prince trim the ambitious project down ... eventually released as the 1987 double album Sign O The Times"

Days Of Wild wasn't from the 80s... was it? Or have I misinterpreted what this (cut-off) picture is saying?

Yeah, there are a few great live versions of DOW, but one of my favourites is the version on The Dawn bootleg. It seamlessly blends the CB version with the live version from Paisley Oct 1999 (which can be found on NPGMC Ahdio Show #1) so you get that wonderful, noisey and chaotic guitar solo at the end.

Great track.

I interpreted you saying "but not these" as being not the lyrics to DOW so calm the fuck down ok?

I used to go to these shows and was at this on. The call and response was "Free the slave. These are the days, these are the days!"
