Dear Mr. Man.....

...I dig the song....Why do y'all hate on it? I'm still trying to understand how Prince turned 4 words (We tired of y'all) into 3.....He says we got 3 words for ya....Was it a mistake?
We run tings, tings nah run we....

Playing it right now music Don't know what you've read but seems like people dig it - it's mentioned as a fave pretty frequently here & in talking to marginal fans they always point that cut out nod 'Tis a damn good song (top 5 on the album for me) & I doubt the 3 words thing was a mistake - it's just a Princey thing to do IMO smile
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

At least he didn't say 'We are tired of you all.'

That would have been 7 words. smile

I like this track. It's in my top 4 or 5 on the album. Seems most orgers like the track. I don't see people out and out hating on it, only some reviewers, who don't like the hackneyed politics.

I like the music.

Easy going protest song with three words to say:

    1. we
    2. tired
    3. o'yall


Oh yeah... that's true. Write a letter.

Listen to "What You Dyin' For" by Angie Stone. Their rhythm tracks are twins.

When the guy in the holding room at the release party
told us Prince was going to play "Mr. Man" I was excited
to see what it would be like live and of course it was
smooth and cool and Prince sang it with a whole lotta
heart nod especially that last verse! it was very cool! bow
