Prince & the New Power Generation My Name is Prince Lyrics

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince, the one and only
I did not come 2 funk around
Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town
In the beginning (funky) God made the sea
But on the 7th day He made me
He was tryin' 2 rest y'all when He heard the sound
Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down
I tried 2 bust a high note, but I bust a string
My God was worried until he heard me sing.

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince, the one and only
Hurt me!
(Do that, do that somebody) (x 8)
Hurt me !

My name is Prince and I am funky
When it come 2 funk, I am a junkie
I know from righteous, I know from sin
I got 2 sides and they both friends
Don't try 2 clock 'em, they're much 2 fast
If U try 2 stop 'em, they'll kick that a__
Without a pistol, without a gun
When U hear my music, U be havin' fun
That's when I gotcha, that's when U mine
2 tell the truth, tell me what's my line ?

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince, the one and only (U can't stop Prince)
Hurt me!
(Do that, do that somebody) (x 4)
Funky fresh 4 the 90's. (Prince)

My name is Prince, I don't wanna be King
Cuz 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 2 tell U that there's a better way
Would our Lord be happy if He came 2day ?
I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than U, huh
But if U want 2 play with me, U better learn the rules (Ow !)

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince, the one and only (U can't stop Prince)
I did not come 2 funk around (U can't stop Prince)
Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town (x 2)
I won't leave this, leave this, leave this.

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince the one and only (U can't stop Prince)
Funky fresh 4 the 90's
(Do that, do that somebody) (x 4)
Hurt me !

The funkier I be, the funkier I get, ooh s___
Lickety split on the lyric, a new jack in the pulpit
Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'
What is this U're seekin' ?
The syncopated rhymes are at their peak when
U jumped on my D.I.C.K.
That's the one thing I don't play
The jock strap was 2 big 4 U anyway
U're just a simpleton
I'll bust U like a pimple, son
My star is 2 bright, boy
I'll sink U like the ship Poseidon Adventure
U're b__pin' dentures 2 be c___sure
There must be more coming from your mouth than manure
So with a flow and a spray, I say hey
U must become a Prince before U're King anyway.

(Do that, do that somebody) (x 2)

It's time I get ig-ig-ig-ig-ig-ig-ignorant
Def be the beat that I'm rockin'
Yo, so come get a hit
And put your thinking cap on
U've been forewarned
I call upon the inner forces 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 4 those who oppose
And propose 2 overexpose, disclose
Pose a threat 2 my brother
Like any other man makin' a stand
I'll be d___ed if I let U play this hand
I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked
What do U expect 2 win when U're used 2 playing c___s ?
Yeah, let's get rid of them, hmm ?

(Do that, do that somebody) (x 2)

It's gettin' tricky, that means a sticky situation
2 resurrect a groove with feeling and give it this much affection
Passion flows who knows what lurks in the gallows of my mind
I put my foot in the a__ of Jim Crow
12 inches of non-stop sole
I'm on a roll - yo P, it's time 4 the show
So do that, do that somebody
Wave your hands in the air, this is a m_________in' party
While U're layin' back, I'm on the attack
Paddywhack - give yourself a bone
This is my house and I'm p___e
2 layin' some chrome upside some m_________er's dome
And I'm out.

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince, the one and only.

My name is Prince. (x 10)
