[Intro: Prince]
All of this and more is for..
Don't worry, I won't hurt you

Go, go

Welcome to the Mill...

This the kinda music make you lose control
If you're ready come on let's go

[Verse 1: Judith Hill]
You heard the news on the internet
About the tickets you got to get
Your favorite band is comin' to your town
What was lost is now found
And tell Serena first come first serve
What we mean is who got the nerve
Standing outside people singing in line
Nothing out of question when you outta your mind

[Chorus: Judith Hill]
Welcome to the Mill...

This is something that you never seen before
Welcome to the Mill...

This the kinda music make you lose control

[Verse 2: Judith Hill and Prince]
Don't listen to the music
Sayin' fear the fro
You got your money so you go, go, go
Miss it for the world- only the insane
They're coming through the snow
The sleet or the rain
The rain, the rain, the rain
Miss it for the world? Only insane

[Chorus: Judith Hill]
Welcome to the Mill...
Million Dollar Show
This is something that you never seen before
Welcome to the Mill...
Million Dollar Show
This the kinda music make you lose control

[Outro: Prince]
Only the haters ever complain
Can't hear jack in the back of my plane turn
The music up so the diss in vain
The music up so the diss in vain
Turn the music up!

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.
