[Verse 1]
Ripopgodazippa, ripopgodazippa
If you flick of the pink plush, then this brother trippa
Start down at the bass then stop at the treble
Circle the midrange and up go me levels
"Precious" by Chanté is rocking the box
This cannot be foreplay cuz this be to hot
Up go the left thigh on me shoulder there
Up go the right and me blood pressure there
With my tongue in the cheek of the gold underwear
One yank of the teeth and they off on the chair

[Chorus]
Ripopgodazippa, ripopgodazippa
If you flick of the pink plush, then this brother trippa
My girlie, how in the world did you learn this that you know?
Ripopgodazippa, etc. etc. so

[Verse 2]
This bench that I normally use for the weights
My girl, she lay me down and try my soul to take
And devilish this night she was before as I'm laying there
She take it all the way down her throat, right down to the hair
She wouldn't move a muscle for what seemed like days
My heart stop beating and I died this way

[Chorus]
Ripopgodazippa, ripopgodazippa
If you flick of the pink plush, then this brother trippa
My girlie, how in the world did you learn this that you know?
Ripopgodazippa, etc. etc. so
Ripopgodazippa

[Verse 3]
I lay me girl down on the fake lamb fur
It's fake but it's still soft as what's between her
Lavender oil come from the bottle like I do
Whenever I think about me zippa ripping so good
All down the body and devil between the thighs
Ripop go zippa and you get a big surprise

[Chorus]
Ripopgodazippa, ripopgodazippa
If you flick of the pink plush, then this brother trippa
My girlie, how in the world did you learn this that you know?
Ripopgodazippa, etc. etc. so
Ripopgodazippa

[Verse 4]
Instead of walking inside, I just knock on the door
I take a look around until she begging me "More, more, more!"
When I finally come inside, I'm standing perfectly still
"I can't take no more!" Pump you then I will
"I just want to call your name, but I don't know what to say"

[Bridge]
Ripopgodazippa
If you're always with me
You'll never have to call me
Touche, touche
Hey

[Chorus]
Ripopgodazippa, ripopgodazippa
If you flick of the pink plush, then this brother trippa
My girlie, how in the world did you learn this that you know?
Ripopgodazippa, etc. etc. so

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.
