[Intro]
What am I going to do?!

[Hook]
PoomPoom PoomPoom PoomPoom PoomPoom PoomPoom
PoomPoom Poom

[Verse 1]
4:57 with you on the mind
I'm craving you so much shit, I crave you all the time
Sweet chemistry we got
My blood's running so hot
Every time I think about the PoomPoom

[Chorus]
PoomPoom
I can't stop thinking about you (PoomPoom)
Every day and night, girl (PoomPoom)
PoomPoom
I can't stop thinking about you (PoomPoom)
(PoomPoom)

[Verse 2]
4:58 and I'm hard straight
Licorice and goldenseal is all I ate
If you were here I wouldn't masturbate
Wishing I was kin to your PoomPoom

[Chorus]
PoomPoom
I can't stop thinking about you (PoomPoom)
Every day and night, girl (PoomPoom)
PoomPoom
I can't stop thinking about you (PoomPoom)
(PoomPoom)

[Verse 3]
Hey little shorty, what your name is?
Catching all this wreck in the music biz
How'd you get that body my crew be macking?
How'd you get dem eyes? Dem all you lashes?
Honey, you number to on my chart
Before you get to one, you got to audition:
You got yo audition for the part (Boom)
Now what's your doctor's name? (PoomPoom)
[Chorus]
PoomPoom

Every day and night, girl (PoomPoom)
PoomPoom
I can't stop thinking about you (PoomPoom)
(PoomPoom)

[Verse 4]
4:59, huh, could you be so kind
To tick a little faster so I could, so I could, so I could find
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
A better way to spend this precious, this precious time
Than occupying my mind with the PoomPoom

[Chorus]
Thinking about your PoomPoom
Oh no, can't stop thinking about you (PoomPoom)
(Hold it right there, shorty)
Every day and night, girl (PoomPoom)
(Don't you move now - what your name is?)
What am I going to do? (PoomPoom)
(What your ame is?)
What am I going to do? (you looking good to me)

I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop thinking about your
PoomPoom (PoomPoom)
(Is that all your hair, girl? you know you look good)
Ooh, ooh! (PoomPoom)

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.
