[Intro]
Put your hands together
No, like this
Surprise, surprise
Another treat, another trick
This is sweet, which one's which?

[Verse 1]
For the record let me state that I never had a reason to break contractual endeavour or sever a relationship with anyone I
Pleasure, pleasure
For the playa let me stop and say-ah that I only payed attention when I heard you mention that he tried to take your
Treasure, treasure
(Ohh no he didn't!)
(What then?)
And as a matter of fact I would have gave you back but then he had a heart attack when you made impact and said his shack without you would be
Better, better
(See what I really mean, uhh, uhh)
But see what I really mean is that our future queen should never be in frustration with this rock and roll machine no, no, not
Ever, ever
(Yeah, huh, you know)
(What?)

[Chorus]
You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone you know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know, you know
You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone you know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know, you know

[Verse 2]
If you really wanna find the answer to this cancer
Then we must rewind
Then never mind the first opinion
(You better ask somebody else)
To run this game requires fame
Your soul and name and nothing gained
Unless it's sacrificed my dear it's only plain for His dominion
And any question of the deal is met with another demand to kneel and reprimand concealed allegations of your
Sinning, sinning
(Uhh, what's that all about?)
That's why I'm, I'm
Feminine rising, not surprising recognizing that the power of the breasts is just a test that you'll be
Winning, winning
(You got this, baby)

[Chorus]
You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone you know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know, you know
You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone you know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know, you know

[Interlude]
There it is
Put your head down
Just, just know thyself, know thyself
Talk to him
Right

[Chorus]
You know how much I want you
You know how much I care
When he gone you know I'm gonna flaunt you
You know, you know, you know

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.
