[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Does anybody know you're here?
This house of ill-repute (Ooohh honey I'm scared of you)
Trying to deal with all your fears
I guess this is what you get for being cute (Cute, cute)
Soaked in banana cologne
No wonder you're all alone
It's written all over your face
You're just-a rock hard in a funky place

[Chorus]
Rock hard in a funky place

[Verse 2]
Here comes a lady so you cover up
She's a freaked out
Funky electric mama with double cups
You couldn’t cop if you wanted to
Because something near your leg
Is haunting you, such a disgrace
You're rock hard in a funky place, ow!

[Chorus]
Rock hard in a funky place

[Verse 3]
You was working on the line
You could drop on her
But you couldn't concentrate
When your dick so hard
Maybe if you cop a nut in the car (Maybe if you cop a nut in the car)
Maybe you could think
About playing guitar

[Bridge]
(Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock)
(Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock)
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Rock hard in a funky place

[Vesre 4]
All you're looking for is love
Or a reason to believe there's a God above
Pretty soon you'll get enough
And head back to a life so tough
I just hate to see an erection go to waste
I'm just-a rock hard in a funky place

[Chorus]
Rock hard in a funky place
Say it
Rock hard in a funky place
Rock hard in a funky place
Oohh for rock hard in a funky place
You rock hard in a funky place
Say it, you'all

[Bridge]
(Rock, rock)
What? (rock, rock, rock, rock)
We got to go, y'all
Tune in next week (rock, rock)
Same time (rock, rock)
Same boogie (rock, rock, rock, rock, rock hard)
Oohhh yeah (rock, rock, rock, rock)
We will rock, y'all (rock, rock)

[Outro]
But until then keep your finger on the trigger
That's the only way it'll get bigger
(What kind of fuck ending was that?)

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.
