[Sampled Intro]
New power
Let down your funky...
Get off
Get off baby

[Pre-Chorus]
What can a brother do when the clock keeps ticking you off
Turn the other cheek or kick a nut 'til it coughs
Get off
Get off

[Chorus]
On the positive tip, I'm equipped with a whip
I don't have to spank you 'cause this is my ship
Get off
Get off
(get off baby)

[Verse]
I will still be hip, when the words from your lip
Take a dip in the ratings
And I'll be stripping your Mercedes
Of your Lubricated Lady
And taking her for a walk, taking her for a walk

[Chorus]
On the positive tip, I'm equipped with a whip
I don't have to spank you 'cause this is my ship
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off

[Breakdown]
Uh, is this a dream?
Nooo
Everybody get off
Is this a dream?
Is this a dream?
Get-o-get-o-get-o-get off

[Chorus]
On the positive tip, I'm equipped with a whip
I don't have to spank you 'cause this is my ship
Get off
Get off (I got the best of you)
Get off (hey, hey sugar)
Get off

[Bridge]
Once I give her back to ya
She won't ever wanna do ya
Cause I wrote the book
I taught her how to look
She showed me the money you gave her, I took
I even ate her cooking, that's more than you did
Get off
Get off

[Pre-Chorus]
What can a brother do when the clock keeps ticking you off
Turn the other cheek or kick a nut 'til it coughs
Get off (uh, help me)
Get off

[Outro]
Get, get, get off
New, new, new Power

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.
