[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh yeah, alright
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Kick drum pounds on the two and four
All the party people, get on the floor
We got the beat you're looking for
The rebirth of the flesh is at your door (Let it in, y'all)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a brand new day
Three-two funk ain't in our way (No, no-no)
It ain't about the money, we just wanna play
The rebirth of the flesh is here to stay (Is here today)

[Chorus]
La, la-la, la-la, la, souli-a-colia, hey
The rebirth of the flesh is all over you

[Verse 2]
We are the fathers of a new boogie cool
Guaranteed to rock you 'cause we're from the old school
We are here, where are you?
Everybody jam to the new boogie blues (Check it out)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a brand new day (Woo)
Three-two funk ain't in our way (No)
It ain't about the money, we just wanna play
The rebirth of the flesh is here today, now everybody say

La, la-la, la-la, la, souli-a-colia, hey
We are here, where are you?
Everybody jam to the new boogie cool
La, la-la, la-la, la, souli-a-colia, hey

Everybody jam to the new boogie cool
Woo, souli-a-colia, hey
Souli-a-colia, hey

[Verse 3]
Think about your nigga, the one that works so hard (Hey)
What's his is his, what's yours is yours unless you beat him at a game of cards (Hey)
This ain't cards, motherfucker, this is life
This is real, hell, you could be my wife
But all you do is steal, motherfucker (Motherfucker)
The rebirth of the flesh is all over you

[Chorus]
We are here, where are you?
Everybody jam to the new boogie cool, come on

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.
