My Name Is Prince

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince, the one and only
I did not come to funk around
'Til I get your daughter, I won't leave this town

In the beginning, God made the sea
But on the seventh day, He made me
He was tryin' to rest, y'all, when He heard the sound
Sound like a guitar, cold gettin' down
I tried to bust a high note but I bust a string
My God was worried 'til 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
Do that, do that, somebody
Do that, do that, somebody
Do that, do that, somebody

My name is Prince and I am funky
When it come to funk, I am a junkie
I know from righteous, I know from sin
I got two sides and they both friends

Don't try to clock 'em, they're much too fast
If you try to stop 'em, they'd kick that ass
Without a pistol, without a gun
When you hear my music, you'll be havin' fun
That's when I got you, that's when you mine
To tell the truth, tell me what's my line?

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
Do that, do that, somebody
Do that, do that, somebody

Prince

My name is Prince, I don't wanna 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 today?
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
My name is Prince, the one and only
Funky fresh for the '90s

Do that, do that, somebody
Do that, do that, somebody
Do that, do that, somebody
Do that, do that, some

The funkier I be, the funkier I get, oh, get, oh
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, jumped on my D.I.C.K.
That's the one thing that I don't play
The jock strap was too big for you anyway
You're just a simpleton
I'll bust you like a pimple, son
My star is too bright
Boy, I'll sink you like the ship Poseidon Adventure

You're bumpin' dentures to be cocksure
There must be more comin' 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

My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince

My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince

My name is Prince
My name is Prince
