The Flow Songtext
von Prince & The New Power Generation

Contradiction, my prediction is that
Is it really important where I take my naps?
(No)
Or who I sleep with?
People with the real mind will peep this out
(Yo, out)

Then there goes your clout
Another fool don′t know what she talkin' ′bout
Like the woman who tried to approach and attempt to roast
(What?)
And even boast about how she knew me when
(What'd she say?)


Damn, here we go again
You never went to school as far as I know
And now you're trying to say that you′re writing a bio about me?
(Oops)
Girl, I hate to say this, nigga, please
(Tell ′em)
I go places that you never go
Ask what I'm kickin′
(Yo)
I'm kickin′ the flow

Rock to the F L O W
(Wait a minute, Minneapolis, Minneapolis)
Just like you're supposed to do
(Minneapolis, Minneapolis)

Rock to the F L O W
(Wait a minute, don′t kill me please)
(No, no, I ain't, I ain't gonna kill you, man)
Just like you′re supposed to do
(Tony, shoot that piece of shit)

Just give me the beat and something to flow on
And before long I have ′em bobbin' their Jugheads to this funky song
Yeah, I′m watchin' people scatter to the dance floor
Slammin′ and shakin' their booties screamin′, "Yo T, gimme more"
(More)


So more is what I give 'em
NPG's rocking the track, yo, tell me how we′re livin′
(Livin' large, ′T')
Yeah, hah, you damn right, that′s how it be
(I see)
Gotta keep it that way so that 5-0 can't find me
And I′m sneakin' up the back of the pack of rats
They thought I was asleep, but I'm sayin′ it ain′t all that
(Naw)

Yeah, not with a 9 fadin' my back
I don′t hang with the hat pack
(Bang)
Yo, I'm running silent, solo black
Sleek, neat creepin′ gang people
(Oh)
Rather put a damn fool to sleep who pulls a cheap one
(Whatcha do?)
That's when I change my speed and flow on
Then I start slipping′, skipping' 'n′ jumping′ around so much
I say, "Bring it on"

Rock to the F L O W
(Wait a minute, Minneapolis, Minneapolis)
Just like you're supposed to do
(Minneapolis, Minneapolis, to beat the English)

Rock to the F L O W
(Wait a minute, Minneapolis, Minneapolis)
(We gotta feed you?)
Just like you′re supposed to do

To beat the English
To beat the English
To beat the English
To beat the English

Ladies and gentlemen
Ladies and gentlemen

Rock to the F L O W
Just like you're supposed to do
(Ladies and gentlemen)
Rock to the F L O W
Just like you′re supposed to do
Rock, rock, rock, rock
