There are no such words as me or mine. Words of this nature were introduced into society as a control mechanism which systematically divided the subjects first individually and then as a collective.

The only love there is, is the love we make.

And love, it isn't love until its past

There have to be scores and scores but for now I'll go for 'Paint a perfect picture, bring to life the vision in one's mind'

Are you gonna be happy

With how your life is spent?

Did you have open arms

For each and everybody you met?

One line?

There's always a rainbow at the end of every rain

What is y'll...is that Love...will make you shake.

They say that money doesn't buy you happiness - but it'll pay for the search.

We're just a play in Your master plan. Now, my Lord I understand.

"But life is just a party...nt to last"

"But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant to last

Positivity, have u had your plus signs today?

"yep, he's definitely masturbating"

"This is not music, this is a Trip"

A blowjob doesn't mean blow

Too many to mention but love 'Sacred is the prayer that asks for nothing' which is followed by 'instead we should be giving thanks for every breath we take' from The Love We Make. Always found that very touching. [Edited 5/20/16 20:54pm]

I have conflicted feelings about this song, along with the first verse of The Holy River (that I posted above). In the case of the Love We Make, all of these statements are made to preface: "Put down the needle; put down the spoon."

The song starts with an assertion that "the time has come to whip the dogs that steal, beg or borrow from a table God set for his son." Is that a statement, in part, targeted at addicts because by ruining their bodies, they are displeasing God and ruining a gift from God?

Similarly, in The Holy River he discusses addiction/depression battles, followed by "then it hits you like a brick on the wall" and a transition to belief in Jesus being the solution/cure.

Not trying to be overly judgmental tying it all together, but I'd argue that Prince had a dangerous and naive belief that all problems of this nature could be solved if you just "believed harder" in God.

I am yours now, and you are mine and together we'll love though all the space and time
