My name is Prince and I am funky My name is Prince the one and only, hurt me
(Do that, do that, somebody) (Do that, do that, somebody) Hurt me (Do that, do that, somebody) (Do that, do that, somebody) [Repeat: x5]
My name is Prince and I am funky When it come to funk I am a junky I know from righteous I know from sin I got to sides and they both friends Don't try to clock 'em, they're much too fast If you try to stop 'em they kick that ass Without a pistol, without a gun When you hear my music you'll be havin' fun That's when I got ya that's when you mine To tell the truth, tell me what's my line?
My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince) My name is Prince the one and only, hurt me (You can't stop Prince)
(Do that, do that, somebody) (Do that, do that, somebody) (Do that, do that, somebody) Funky fresh for the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody) (Prince)
My name is Prince, I don't want to be king Cause I've seen the top and it's just a dream Big cars and women and fancy clothes Will save your face but it won't save your soul I'm here to tell you that there's a better way Would our Lord be happy if He came to day? I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than you But if you want to play with me, you better learn the rules
My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince) My name is Prince the one and only (You can't stop Prince) I did not come for funk around (You can't stop Prince) 'Till I get your daughter I won't leave this town I won't leave this town I won't leave this town I won't leave this, leave this, leave this
My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince) My name is Prince the one and only (You can't stop Prince) Funky fresh for the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody) (Do that, do that, somebody) (Do that, do that, somebody) Hurt me (Do that, do that, some)
The funkier I be The funkier I get, oh shit Lickety split on the lyric A new jack in the pulpit Watch it deacon, your track is leakin' What is this you're seekin'? The syncopated rhymes are at their peak When you jumped on my D.I.C.K. That's the one thing that I don't play The jock strap was to big for you anyway You're just a simpleton I'll bust you like a pimple, son My star is to bright Boy, I'll sink you like the ship Poseidon Adventure You're bumpin' dentures to be cocksure There must be more coming from Your mouth than manure. So with a flow and a spray, I say hey You must become a prince before you're king anyway
(Do that, do that somebody) (Do that, do that somebody)
It's time I get ig-nig-nig-nig-nig-nig-n-ignorant Def be the beat that I'm rockin' Yo so, come get a hit And put your thinking cap on You've been forewarned I call upon the inner forces that I've got brewin' In my cauldron. That means my nugget, Sometimes I'm rugged The style I posses be havin' The other brothers buggin' and this is for those who oppose And propose to overexpose disclose Pose a threat to my brother Like any other man makin' a stand I'll be damned if I let you play this hand I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked What do you expect to win when you're used to playing craps?
(Do that, do that somebody) Hell yeah, let's get this under the (Do that, do that somebody)
"Damn." It's gettin' tricky I mean it's a sticky situation To resurrect a groove with feeling And give it this much affection Passion flows and who knows What lurks in the gallows of my mind I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow Tweleve inches of non-stop sole I'm on a roll with P, and it's time for the show So do that, do that somebody Wave your hands in the air This is a motherfucking party While you're laying back I'm on the attack paddywhack Give yourself a bone This is my house and I'm prone To layin' some chrome upside some motherfuckers dome And I'm out
My name is Prince and I am funky My name is Prince the one and only
