My Name Is Prince III Songtext
von 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 7th 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 junky
I know from righteous, I know from sin
I got two sides and they′re 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 gottcha
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


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

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 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 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"
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
