[Verse 1]
Everybody
Get on the floor
What the hell'd you come here for?
Girl it ain't no use
You might as well get loose
Work your body like a whore
Say everybody -

We're gonna show you mothers how to scream
People everywhere, loosen up your hair
Take a deeper breath and sing along with me, yes
Are you ready?

Everybody everybody ooh (ooh)

Shake it like you just don't care (Shake it like you just don't care)
Never mind your friends
Girl it ain't no sin
To strip right down to your underwear
I say everybody (everybody)
Screw the masses
We only want to have some fun (Have some fun)
I say do whatever we want
Wear lingerie to a restaurant

You don't have to run

All the white people clap your hands on the four now

[Verse 3]
I don't wanna be a poet
'Cause I don't wanna blow it
I don't care to win awards
All I wanna do is dance
Play music sex romance
And try my best to never get bored
If you feel all right lemme hear you scream

Alright

It's time to fix your clock
Vanity 6 is so sweet
Now you can all take a bite of my purple rock, can we stop?

Prince

An American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and actor that produced 22 RIAA-platinum albums during his 40-year career, Prince may be known for one of many different things – his turn as “The Kid” in the iconic film/album/8 ½ minute ballad “Purple Rain”, being the writer behind the acclaimed anthem “Kiss,” rivaling Michael Jackson at the pinnacle of his career, being the inspiration behind censorship laws, or being the artist addressed as an unpronounceable symbol throughout the 1990s—but while many know of Prince, most don’t fully understand the impact his legacy left on this world.

Going by many aliases throughout his life, Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958 with his father’s (John L. Nelson) stage name as his own given one. Growing up, Prince suffered from serious epileptic seizures at a very young age, but he had wrote his first composition of many by age seven, and outside of his love for basketball, he wanted music to be his purpose in life. His tumultuous childhood, witnessing alcoholism and abuse, caused him to find refuge in neighbor André Cymone’s home in his teens, where the two competed in local band competitions, leading to Prince’s introduction to Morris Day alongside music with his cousin’s band 94 East, leading him to be courted by record labels and ultimately signed to Warner Bros. Records with complete creative control; at 19, his debut album, For You (1978) was released – Prince played all 19 instruments on the record.

Influenced by the likes of Miles Davis, Rick James, and James Brown, Prince desired to form a music dynasty and after the success of his next albums – the platinum-selling Prince (1979), the sexually-charged Dirty Mind (1980), and politically-motivated Controversy (1981) – he negotiated for the ability to form his own label and manage artists of his own. Prince’s trademark sexual/religious rhetoric within pop-and-dance, funk-rock sound gained him a following, but his opening slates for Rick James and The Rolling Stones were both negatively received and facing bankruptcy, the young artist began to reach for mainstream popularity. Cashing on the drug-influenced doomsday mania of the times, 1982’s 1999 easily achieved that mainstream appeal, landing him on MTV, music charts, and radio stations across the world.
