What are U doin' there?
Hmm, this might work

Lemme see, mmm
So tell me, U like broads?
(They're alright, I...)
Yep
Boy, have I got a broad story 4 U
Yeah, some corn, yeah
(Jesus)
Let's see, uh
I'm on a date with this broad, right?
Lets' see, stove top directions, uh
I bring her here
(Here?)
Yeah, right here
I thought I'd put some food in her belly
Empty contents into small sauce pan, hmm
U know, get a little curve in her slope
U know what I'm sayin?
(Slope?)
Right...
Now let me go see if I can find one of these muthafuckers, hmm
(Oh, gosh)
So I'm like "Go ahead toots, order what U like, it's on me"
Make her think I'm a big shot, U know
I said "So order, order somethin' 4 me 2
I'm gonna run 2 the little boys room
Hmm, shit, that definitely ain't no sauce pan
I gotta burp the baby
Mmm, that ain't no sauce pan
U know what I'm sayin'?"
I figured she'd order me somethin' light
Let me see if I can find this shit
Like a couple of salads or somethin'
Boy, was that a mistake
(Why?)
I comes back from the bathroom
Alright, got it, got it
I'm sittin' there
Ah, that's cool
Waitin' 4 the food
Now, if I can just get this corn open
This broad ordered the whole left side of the menu!
OK, let's see
Said she just wanted 2 nibble
Where's the damn can opener? Shit!
Nibble my ass
I'll open this muthafucker
I'm hungry!
This broad ate every fuckin' thing except the silverware
Shit ain't openin'
(Come on)
I kid U not
{phone rings}
Shit's gonna open now
I mean, she was a little on the thick side 2 begin with
Alright, I got it, mmm hmm
U know what I mean?
But I figured she'd have the decency 2 pig out when she got home
Talk
(Hey brother, what's up?)
Not here, right?
(Right)
I mean U, U ever had a broad do that?
Ain't nothin' but a wang
(No, not really)
Fuckin' pisses U off, am I right?
My girl's gone somewhere
Right, so I reaches over
I... I'm just cookin'
I took the fuckin' mashed potatoes and I threw 'em all over that broad
Hey, hey, what's this?
(Now wait a minute)
That ain't all though, check this out
Hmm, let me call U back
(What?)
The waiter sees what just happened
What the...
He's gonna be Mr. Macho, right
He comes over and says
"What U do that 4?"
"I'm sick of the changes U put me through?"
(And U said?)
I said "What the fuck business is it of yours?
I'm payin' 4 these fuckin' potatoes
"All U think about is music?"
I'll do what the fuck I wanna do with'em!
Now bring me a fuckin' finger bowl!"
"I'm leavin' your NBA no ballin' ass?"
(What happened?)
What happened?
I'll tell U what happened
Ain't that a bitch?
Here, gimme some of that meatball
(Hey, hey, I was gonna eat that)
This punk waiter, he think he's the hero type, right
Punk
He throws the finger bowl on my head
I kid U not
I'm sittin' there, head soakin' wet
Mashed potatoes in my finger nails
And this broad's crackin' up
(Ha ha ha ha)
I kid U not
She's rollin' on the carpet, people...
Gimme some water there
(Hey, hey, get...)
People leavin' the restaurant
She's laughin' so hard potatoes are flyin' off her head
(U got mad?)
Damn right I was mad!
I said, "Very funny"
(Well, it is kinda funny)
And I left her fuckin' ass right there
Rollin' in those fuckin' mashed potatoes
And I left this joint with out payin' a dime
(Well, what are U eatin' here now 4 I mean?)
That's the killer!
I was so mad I bought this joint
(But the girl...)
Fuckin' right
(What happened 2 her, man?)
That's her over there, workin' the fuckin' cash register
(Naw, her?)
U gonna eat this?
(That's the mashed potato girl?)
Here, gimme this bread
(She's, she's great, what do U mean?)
Is this the best bread in the city or what?
What the fuck's your problem?
(Look at her, she's, she's gorgeous)
U eat like a fuckin' parakeet
(What...)
I'm still hungry
U hungry?
(Naw, naw)
Naw, U not hungry
U want some bird seed or somethin'?
Look here, order me somethin'!
(Man, shut up now)
I'm gonna run 2 the little boys room

Talk of children still frightens me
Is my character enough 2 be
One that deserves a copy made?
This sight one day, I hope 2 see...


Stunningly honest 4 him at that point in his carrer. 4 him 2 admit that he want's children but is a afraid that they'll end up with his character flaws just floors me. He wants 2 be a better person so that he can be a good father.

Pure genius.

In A Large Room With No Light

Lana drew a picture in school 2day
One that made her mother cry
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand
Standing by a child with no eyes
Washington reaction based upon revenge
Babies blown 2 kingdom come
Damn the logic
Cartoon characters look better when they're on the run
Danny dropped the dime on his girlfriend
He said he didn't wanna go 2 jail alone
The seed lives in the same mind
With the thought that says we all should be stoned
And people lookin' 4 angels in the sky
Whenever they're broken-hearted
Love is grown, seeds are sown
A fire don't burn unless it's started

Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Everytime U wake up there's a little motherfucker
Talkin' big stuff in your face (Are U happy?)
U only get the kind of people that open their mouth just 2 swap feet
Welcome 2 the rat race

Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Oh, if U could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright
Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light

Yeah!

Please see my signature

If your last December came what would you do?
Would anybody remember to remember you?
In your life did you just give a little?
Or did you give all that you had?
Were you just somewhere in the middle?
Not too good, not too bad?

reminds me of cuzzin neil, i bin meaning 2 send him this lyric , he and his good lady just had a baby boy !!!

my favourite prince line is from pop life, it goes like this:

What U putting in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes The river of addiction flows
U think it's hot, but there won't be no water
When the fire blows

Right on, brother.
I've swam those seas.

GOOD thread! 5 STARS! SO many 2 choose from though!

Holy River always lifts me if Im feeling down, but I'll pick the following as MY personal faves:

Condition of the Heart
There was a girl in Paris
Whom he sent a letter 2
Hoping she would answer back
Now wasn't that a fool-Hardy
notion on the part of-a-sometimes-lonely-musician
Acting out a whim is only good
4 a condition of the heart

There was a dame from London
Who insisted that he love her
Then left him 4 a real prince
From Arabia, now isn't that
A shame that sometimes money
Buys U everything and nothing
Love, it only seems 2 buy a
Terminal condition of the heart

Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

There was a woman from the ghetto
Who made funny faces just like
Clara Bow, how was I 2 know
That she would wear the same Cologne as U...
and giggle the same...
Giggle...that U do?
Whenever I would act a fool, the fool
With a condition of the heart

Thinking about U driving me crazy
My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh
Every single day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris)
whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2)
(Hoping she would answer back)
She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy)
He's got a condition of the heart. (notion ...)

Last December
If ur Last December came
What would u do?
Would anybody remember
2 remember u?

Did u stand tall?
Or did u fall?
Did u give ur all?

Did u ever find a reason
Y u had 2 die?
Or did u just plan on leaving
Without wondering y?

Was it everything it seemed?
Or did it feel like a dream?
Did u feel redeemed?

In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son
We need 2 come 2gether
Come 2gether as one

Did u love somebody
But got no love in return?
Did u understand the real meaning of love?
That it just is and never yearns?

When the truth arrives
Will u b lost on the other side?
Will u still b alive?

In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son
We need 2 come 2gether
Come 2gether as one

In ur life did u just give a little
Or did u give all that u had?
Were us just somewhere in the middle?
Not 2 good, not 2 bad?

In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son
We need 2 come 2gether
Come 2gether as ONE

He was not or never had been in favor
of setting r people free
if it wasn't 4 the 13th Amendment
we woulda been born in slavery
He was not or never had been in favor
of letting us vote so u c...
Abraham Lincoln was a racist who said
"U cannot escape from history"

Like the snow comin' down the mountain
that landed on Wounded Knee
nobody wants 2 take the weight -
the responsibility

Hear the joyous sound of freedom
The Harlem Renaissance
Hear Duke Ellington and his band
kick another jungle jam
Ooh, do u wanna dance?
Who's that lurking in the shadows?
Mr. John Hammond with his pen in hand...
sayin' "Sign ur kingdom over 2 me
and b known throughout the land!"
But, u ain't got no money, U ain't got no cash
So u sign yo name and he claims innocence
just like every snowflake in an avalanche...

Old Friends 4 Sale
The sun set in my heart this evenin'
Cuz an old friend of mine got lost in the jive
Little did she know, when U're stuck in the snow
Nobody gets out alive

Tears fall gently in my garden
As I wait in vain 4 my sweet baby 2 call
I guess what my own brother told me was true
He had been with my sweet baby and she never really loved me at all...

Night fell so dark this evenin'
The moon wasn't shinin' nowhere
Sometimes that old light in the alley would light up this old heart of mine
But now I'm wonderin' if there's someone up there who really cares

The night fell darkest in Persia
What used 2 flow blue is now flowin' black
Many a doctor can try, but only heaven knows why
When it comes 2 love
Why do some men, why do some men turn their backs?

Can't somebody please tell me?

Maybe the morning air will make me feel better
Oh, I hope better than I feel right now
Last night a stranger took my picture and then he, uh..
He asked if I'd buy it, huh
I said I guess I don't know how

Old, old friends 4 sale
Get'em while the gettin' is hot
But U better watch out...they'll kiss U
until they get what U got
And they'll show U the friends that they're not
...Old friends 4 sale

Hole in yo head. Hole in yo head

There's gonna be a riot, if u don't clap your hands,

Don't you have to have a heart first
Before you get it broken
Don't you have to want to tell the truth
Before a word is spoken

Simple:



"A freezer burn compared to cool" from Days of Wild. I have always felt that this simple lyric describes Prince to a Tee.

The lyrics to "Love Thy Will Be Done" are at the top of my list.

"Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside."

I thought "count the days" was a very poetic approach to the whole battle with WB:

Count the days


Here's a church, here's a steeple
Here's a muthafucka that I gotta blow away
Here's my chance 2 cure the ills of the people
But not until I make this muthafucka pay
And oh, baby I count the days


(Yeah yes)
I count the days


Here's the interview, here's the time
If I keep your secrets, will U keep mine?
If we hurry, we can catch the train
If it was left up 2 U, I would die in pain
(That's why) I count the days


(Oh yeah)
Whoa, I'm counting (Oh)
Hear me (Hear me)
(Days) (Days) Days
Counting the days


Great day in the morning
My choir sing a pretty song
Every day I'm with your ass is another day wasted
I swear it's a day 2 long


Counting
Like Frankie Beverly without Maze
I'm counting
Muthafucka, I count the days


Can I count on? (Hey)
Count on? (Counting)
Count on? (Hey yeah)
I count the days (Days)


I Count the days

It was 7:45, we were all in line 2 greet the teacher Miss Kathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us were ordinary compared 2 Cynthia Rose

an intro to the core of brilliance from a magnificent LP.



I never been 1 2 hide my feelings
Baby, u blow my mind
I painted your face upon my ceiling
I stare at it all the time

I imagine myself inside your bedroom
Oh I imagine myself in your sky
(U) U are the reason there's bass in my boom
(Oh u) U are the reason I'm high

another great one from a very very underated LP


haven't lost my desire
I wouldn't beg U
Instead of playin' deduction of what 2 do
They called me rude often
When I called their hand
They judged me and told me that we're through
"Why can't U be like the others?"
I cried out over and again
"Why can't U learn 2 play by the rules?"
But maybe at last it's the end
Because I am not like others
I'm unique in the respect I'm not U


I know in my heart I would try 2 love U
I wouldn't try 2 hurt U despite all the ways U try 2 hurt me
U call me a fraud, an uncaring wretch
But I'm an artist and my only aim is 2 please
Between U and yours, myself and mine
Isn't life cruel enough without cruel words, cruel words?
U see, words are like shoes
They're just something 2 stand on
I wish U could be in my shoes
But they're probably so high, U'd fall off and die
4 U words are definitely not shoes
They're weapons and tools of destruction
And your time is boring unless U're putting something down
What would life be if we believed what we read
And a smile is just hiding a frown?
Come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes?


Congrads Prince on the Hall of Fame, they shoud have put u in back in 1980

if i was your girlfriend, would you remember to tell me all the things you forgot when i was your man?

also...

if i was your girlfriend, would you let me dress you, i mean help you pick out your clothes before we go out?
not that your helpless, but sometimes, sometimes those are
the things that being in love's about.



I totally agree

"Style is you know - givin' them the finger when they pass yo' ass".

She said sign your name on the dotted line..the lights went out, and Nikii started to grind.

Nice, nasty and to the point. Prince used to be so direct about sex and it was always refreshing.

"...and her perfume, it smells like the weekend." (baby knows)
