Lyrics:
This is it
It's time for you to go to the wire
You will hit
'Cause you got the burnin' desire
It's your time (Time)
You got the horn so why don't you blow it
You are fine (Fine)
You're filthy cute and baby you know it
Cream
Get on top
Cream
You will cop
Cream
Don't you stop
Cream
Sh-boogie bop
You're so good
Baby there ain't nobody better (Ain't nobody better)
So you should
Never, ever go by the letter (Never ever)
You're so cool (Cool)
Everything you do is success
Make the rules (Rules)
Then break them all 'cause you are the best
Yes you are
Cream
Get on top
Cream
You will cop
Cream
Don't you stop
Cream
Sh-boogie bop
Look up in the air, it's your guitar
Do your dance
Why should you wait any longer?
Take a chance
It could only make you stronger
It's your time (It's your time)
You got the horn so why don't you blow it (Go on and blow it)
You're so fine (you're so fine)
You're filthy cute and baby you know it (you know it)
Cream
Get on top
Cream
You will cop
Cream
Don't you ever stop
Cream
Sh-boogie bop
Cream
Cream
Cream
Sh-boogie bop
Cream
Cream
Right there
Cream
Don't you stop
Cream
Sh-boogie bop
Sh-boogie

@@amandapoore-counts536 Talent comes in all forms, There has been many mucisians that have awesome talent. Prince was just a true mucisian, he sang from the heart and was able to express himself through music. He understood music and how all instraments accent the other. In my opinion any mucisian that never sings the song the same way twice are the geniuses. If you belive in your heart in the music story you are telling people will hear that and follow. That's the difference between a cookie cutter and a baker.

He felt he was rushing into expressing lyrics and was not ready as of yet to go into next line of song and wanted to give it more time so made expression as not ready because wanted everyone to feel lyrics.. Was not so much everyone singing off tune in sense.. People in entertainment know more of what I mean.. It was a way of expressing too good to go there with rush so soon..

Taylor guitars was a client of mine; we photographed the guitars for their catalog. One day the Art Director called me over to the side of Taylor's lobby and said "check it out", pointing to a new case. I opened it and was looking at the most beautiful purple custom Taylor acoustic. She whispered "go on, try it out", and I played it for a few minutes. Beautiful guitar. I put the guitar back in the case and as she closed it and gave it to the shipping manager, she said "You just got to play Prince's new custom Taylor". The guitar in this video. That's kinda cool. Thank you Prince. We miss you terribly.

A friend of mine used to provide security for stage areas/performers on behalf of a concert promoter in the UK in the 90s. Prince was touring and was hit by a sudden strike by roadies and crew not specific to Prince but affecting his final set up of instruments and monitors on stage. My friend was a tall bald intimidating looking Scotsman who was on security on stage and he saw Prince personally tune and set up each instrument and monitor personally, and expertly linked up with the mixing desk so he could perform that night. Prince asked him to help move/ set up the heavier items and he was so full of admiration and respect for Princes attitude and competence and work ethic that he helped him as he was not a member of the union on strike. He said Prince was quite strong for a "little guy in heels" and enjoyed his sense of humour even under pressure, he was also impressed that Prince wasnt bothered by his own rather formidable appearance and was happy to speak with him. I love that insight, it dosnt surprise me.

What's fascinating here is the interplay between his extremely expressive voice and the guitar work which is so electric, fanciful, tactile and gymnastic. Yes, gymnastic guitar work that prods and pokes and draws us right up to Heaven. This is where he really shone. Alone, not weighed down by others, not fenced in by their limitations. Just him alone, shining, glowing in his element.

You know I've heard that saying perpetuated but I'm still looking for the genius side... I guess for the MTV generation or millennials that we're not use to musical artist writing their own songs and singing them as well as playing instruments... I guess it would be genius compared to the low skill needed to produce rap and hip-hop music which is basically someone else's music sampled for the beat synthesized fake music auto-tune digitally enhanced voices. All created in the studio. I guess compared to that Prince would be genius per se but so would all the bands I listen to and we're even more popular than Prince...... that sang wrote and played their own music and became famous before MTV and music videos ever existed.
