[Intro]
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful, hey

[Verse 1]
I could tell by the color of your energy field
You thought this game was over a chemical peel
You tried to do me like my good brother Steve
But I got another funky trick up my sleeve
Expecting me to freak on you a little bit more
But you get nothing but well-wishes and flowers galore
I mean no harm, I still got your back
You can come and drink my wine as a matter of fact

[Chorus]
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful

[Verse 2]
I don't know what you thought when you spit in my face
But this dimension ain't the time or the place
I don't know who told you you could stand next to me
Because I got a guitar that could part the sea
Don't mean no disrespect, I ain't trying to brag
But that might be the same one that tapped on the crag
And brought forth the water that quenched your thirst
And will keep feeding you, but first things first

[Chorus]
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful
Sing it, feel better
Feel good

[Verse 3]
If you think about how much time it took
For you to try to get a page in my book
I feel so good right now I just can't recall
What the ---- I was thinking when I threw you the ball
It hit three bystanders after you touched it
Now they want to sue me but they love me too much
'Cause they know I wish them heaven and all of its gold
Same to you, come on let's groove to the purple rock and roll

[Chorus]
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful, yeah
Feel better
(Feel better, baby)
Feel good, feel wonderful
(Y'all ready?)
(Yup)

[Outro]
Better than good, better than good
You know you should feel wonderful
Keep your mind in a vertical motion
Always looking up
Hit me!
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful
Feel better, feel good, feel wonderful

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.
