Schoolyard

Here's another jam I've been addicted 2 as of let, I love this song. It's another one of those story telling songs like Raspeberret, except 4 it's about a sistah and that's rare you'll find in a Prince song. I like the line "She had japenese with a short fro". He just described about 10 different girls I know. lol . Anyways Once again I don't know what Prince was thinking about not adding it 2 a album, but then again I guess if it was added 2 album we never would appreciate it as a bootleg. lol

Maybe someone talked some sense into him about trying to pass off what could be viewed as date rape as a sentimental childhood moment.

We never hear about Carrie's feelings about him trying to get into her pants while she's stoned. Do we?

I was singing the lyrics from the top of my head but this is what Prince actually says

Prince raps

"Carry was a sistah but her eyes made her look Japanese, a shinning cut afro short & soft close fit 2 please"

'Schoolyard' is a bootleg? And you have a copy of it?

I thought you've publically stated you are adamantly against people having bootlegs and that, by having them, a person was in essence stealing Prince's children and disrespecting him as a hardworking artist.

Am I confusing you with someone else? confuse

I can't keep anything straight around this place. confused

C'mon...you know she wanted it. Prince was high too, so maybe she raped him!

yeah that was me, I was just saying how y'all was acting surprised by when Prince was shutting down those websites, I never said I didn't own a bootleg. In fact I said I have bootlegs of my own.
