Finally! Musicology Lyrics

Heard about the party now
Just east o Harlem
Prince's is gonna b there
But u got 2 call him

Even the soldiers
Need a break sometimes
Listen 2 the groove ya'll
Let it unwind u'r mind

No intoxication
Unless u c what eye c
Dancin hot n sweaty
Right in font of me

Call it what u like
I'm gonna call it how it b
This is just another one
Of God's gifts
MUSICOLOGY

Keep that party movin
Just like eye told you
Kick the old school joint
4 the true funk soldiers
MUSICOLOGY

Wish eye had a dollar
4 Everytime u say
Don't u miss the feeling
Music gave ya
Back in the day?

Let's Groove
September
Earth, Wind and Fire
Hot Pants by James
Sly's gonna take u Higher

Minor keys and drugs
Don't make a rollerskate jam
Take ur pick - turntable or a band?

If it ain't Chuck D
or Jam Master Jay
Know what?
They're losin'
'Cause we got a PhD in
Advanced Body Movin'
MUSICOLOGY

Keep the party movin'
Just like eye told u
Kick the old school joint
4 the true funk soldiers
MUSICOLOGY


From the t-shirt

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Thanks for the lyrics. Let's hope that Prince sings this song during his latest tour. pray Not sure, since this is going to be a greatest hits tour, but he may sing that song for us anyway.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

I saw your post just a few mintues ago, Boris. Isn't it weird how the universe works? It seems we all figured this out at the same time! Ever read the Celestine Prophecy?

That's kinda cool, minor keys and drugs.

Not that I'm not sometimes a fan of both, but I love that line. I forgot how much I dig the eternal optimism of Prince's lyrics...cheesy or not, I don't give a fuck. I think My Computer has poignant lyrics.
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine.

Spooky old world ain't it!
and No, I haven't read the Celestine Prophecy, but I think I just might have to now.

I'd been trying to work out those lyrics for ages, and yesterday I'd got as far as
"Money, keys and drugs ....(something).. Rollerskate-Jam", then about 20 minutes ago it
suddenly hit me what it actually was, and then you posted the official lyrics off the t-shirt!
(and I heard the theme to the twilight zone in my head) biggrin

do do do do! "Minor keys..." I actually had gotten off the Leno performance, but 'rollerskate jam' was a complete mystery!

They're actually making a movie of The Celestine Prophecy. Starts filming March 29.....!!

You know, I actually think you're right about that, I'll change it!

I also am confused to see that the official lyric says "..Prince gonna b there..." and yet in the video shown on Tavis Smiley he CLEARLY sings "...Doug E gonna B there.."

My thoughts exactly. Make Janet Jackson's read like Sylvia Plath.
