Freaks
Freaks gonna bob to this
Freaks gonna bob to this
Freaks gonna bob to this
Freaks gonna bob to this

[Verse 1]
Freaks gonna bob to this, I'm sayin'
Comin' with the 100 bpm long playin'
Sadomasochistic groove
Jules gonna bump it 'til the fat girl groove
NPG, "We're here!"
Bringin' the feedback, coming to shake back
Hollow body 12-string Marshall stack
I wanna show you one of my purple toys
Step the fuck back cause it make plenty noise

[Chorus]
Freaks gonna bob to this
Freaks gonna bob to this, I'm sayin'
Coming with the shit to keep the players playing
Sadomasochistic Groove
The party ain't over 'til the fat girl groove
Freaks gonna bob to this
(Sadomasochist this groove)
Freaks gonna bob to this
(This is how we do's it)
Freaks gonna bob 2 this
(Sadomasochist this groove)
(Freaks freaks)
Freaks gonna bob to this
(Never gonna lose it)
(Freaks freaks)

[Verse 2]
"Freaks gonna bob to that", Kirk said it
People think I'm still fly, I read it
In the Oakland Tribune
They said I dance like I ain't gonna retire soon
Well 'til I die and go and live in my heavenly mansion
I keep the rock-n-rolling in a funky fashion
Speaking of which, my rags are game
When I see the maker, He asks my tailor's name
Yeah, I got a gift
Nothing's gonna make me lose it
Sadomasochist this groove
And now you gotta use it

[Chorus]
Freaks gonna bob to this
Sadomasochist this groove
Freaks gonna bob to this
This is how we do's it
Freaks gonna bob to this
Sadomasochist this groove
Freaks gonna bob to this
Never gonna lose it

[Verse 3]
Freaks gonna bob to this 'cause I ain't sleepin'
While your CD thinkin' to come out, I be creeping
Talkin' to the foreigners
(Freak freak)
{?}
Say what'
Like a chippie on the corner
(Wanna party, baby')
The charts don't mean a damn when you free
Double platinum - they don't believe it to be
As long as Wild 107 don't play me
(Freaks)
The people in Moneyapolis
Yeah, we got to be free
I got a gift, y'all
(He got a gift, y'all)
And I ain't about to lose it
(Uh)
Sadomasochist this groove
And now you gotta use it

[Chorus]
Freaks gonna bob to this
(Freaks gonna bob to this)
Sadomasochist this groove
Freaks gonna bob to this
(Freaks gonna bob to this)
This is how we do's it
Freaks gonna bob to this
(Freak gonna bob to this)
Sadomasochist this groove
Freaks gonna bob to this
(Freaks freaks)
Never gonna lose it
Freaks gonna bob to this, I'm saying
(Freaks gonna bob to this)
Sadomasochistic groove
(Freaks gonna bob to this)

[Outro]

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.
