[Intro]
I'll get you high, yeah
Prince gonna get you high

[Chorus]
I'll get you high, yeah
I'll get you high
I'll get you high, yeah
Prince gonna get you high

[Verse 1]
Making your way through the neighborhood
Looking for some good boys, toys
Bobbin' your tail to another one of Prince's jams
Trying to look real coy
When they pull up right beside you
And ask if they can ride you
Where the party at?
The horn goes beep
The music in the jeep goes

[Pre-Chorus]
I got the music to get you high again
I got the beat that make you act like a hooligan
I got the rhyme, make you tell a friend
Prince gonna get you high

[Chorus]
I'll get you high, yeah
I'll get you high
I'll get you high, yeah
Prince gonna get you high

[Verse 2]
Every now and then, you're havin' one of them days
People gettin' on your last nerve, ooh
No matter how you cut it, nothing seems to go your way
You wanna quit this job
Get your swerve on, turn the radio up
It's a new day, the only way to see it is your way
The door goes slam
Now you sing this jam
Go

[Pre-Chorus]
I got the music to get you high again
Got the beat that make you act like a hooligan
Got the rhyme, make you tell a friend
Prince gonna get you high

[Chorus]
I'll get you high, yeah
I'll get you high
I'll get you high, yeah
Prince gonna get you high

[Spoken Interlude]
How you gonna let another human stand in the way of this truth?
Put quarters in me, each quarter he's puttin' in the telephone booth
Oh!
25 to 1 you gon' have some fun
Put your hands up
Oh!
If y'all ready for the next run

[Breakdown]
Prince gonna get you high
Prince gonna get you high
Prince gonna get you high
Prince gonna get you high
Prince gonna get you high
Prince gonna get you high

[Modified Pre-Chorus]
I got the music to get you high again
Got the beat that make you act like a hooligan
Got the rhyme, make you tell a friend
Prince gonna get you high
I got the music to get you high again
Got the beat that make you act like a hooligan
All I wanna do is get you high
Get you high high high
Prince gonna get you high high high

[Outro]
Check it out
If you've ever been down real low
Put the jam in the jeep, let's go and get you high again
Every morning I'll get you high
Whenever you ain't feelin' too good, I'll get you high again
You don't need nobody, Prince gon' get you high
Ooh yeah, I'll get you high
Prince gon' get you high
Prince gon' get you high

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.
