[Verse 1]
Here she come, the most popular girl
In the whole wide world today
You don't know if she would but what's good if she'd come and amp look your
Way
You're standing over there trying to be gangster copping your favorite lean
You give her the head nod
O my god you're the craziest thing
She's ever seen but your
Dancing
And she's loving you all night long
In your little world she's your best girl
It's all money
Ain't nothing wrong
Your dancing and she's loving you all night long

[Chorus]
Funky dollar bill it's real y'all
Easy come, easy go

[Verse 2]
Where you go everybody want to know
So they can put it in a magazine
Next to the ad for the latest fad
In black hair care – Vaseline
With this car these rims this grill you'll be
The illest on the scene
Whatever whatever all you need is your music
And you'll be a party machine 'cause you'll be dancing
She'll be loving you all night long
In your little world she's your best girl
It's money
Ain't nothing wrong
You're dancing - Yes you are
She's loving you all night long

[Chorus]
Funky dollar bill it's real y'all
Easy come, easy go

[Verse 3]
One, two
How many times you look for happy
And you never see the rich folks there?
But if the DJ really dropped a needle all the true players just don't
Care
When all the news just give me the blues and make you want to pop a pill
What difference does it make who gots the most bank, it's just ink and
Chlorophyll
Everybody's dancing
And loving you all night long
In your little world she's your best girl
It's all money
Ain't nothing wrong

[Chorus]
Funky dollar bill it's real y'all
Easy come, easy go

[Outro]
Pawns aside who's the king the to and for
Wit hot sauce from the bay to Baltimore
Take your woman for she hit the front door
And whoop your whole crew because they fat and slow
Dancing loving you all night long
It's all money ain't nothing wrong
Dancing loving you all night long
Easy come easy gone

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.
