[Intro]
A model... Used to be a role model
I dunno
Come on, Chelsea!
I dunno
Come on (Uh-huh)
Ah, go ahead now, Chelsea! Go ahead now!
This for Jersey right here
Go ahead now!
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Chorus]
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Though she really rocked the role, yes, she did
Kept her tears up in her, bottled
Poured them out to save your soul

[Verse 1]
Ask her what she liked the most
She said, she liked to talk to Jimi's ghost, ow
Fantasy or bragger's boast (This girl is fly)
Chelsea's fly, like coast to coast (Mmm)

Hollywood or Times Square
If the party's fly, my girl is there (yes, she is)
Earth boots on and flowers in her hair
21st Century hippy, Chelsea don't care

[Chorus]
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Thought she really rocked her role, yes, she did
Kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out to save her soul

[Verse 2]
Try to catch her if you can (Come on now together)
But you never see her with one man (Uh, a brother got to jump in the water)
He must be baptized, according to the master plan
Before she give up the good thang
Go ahead, Chelsea! (Go ahead, Chelsea!)

No cut diamonds, and designer shoes (Uh, no-no)
'Cause she's too original from her head down to her feet
(Rehab) (If you want to) Chelsea don't eat no meat
Still got butt like a leather seat
Go ahead, Chelsea! (Go ahead, Chelsea!)

[Chorus]
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Plus she really rocked her role, yes, she did
She kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out to save a soul

[Bridge]
Go ahead, Chelsea!
(Speak on it horns)
Come on

[Verse 3]
Next to her they just a fool
Chelsea read more books than a few
Moses was a Pharaoh in the 18th Dynasty
And Mo' was chilling in Carthage in 33 BCE
And the day that we stop counting, we live as long as a tree
Go ahead, Chelsea, teach me! Go ahead, Chelsea

Make a promise to your higher self
And get true knowledge then fame and wealth
You don't be chasing nobody's ghost
Of everything, make the most (Come on)

[Chorus]
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Thought she really rocked her role
Kept her tears up in her, bottled, yes, she did
Poured them out to save your soul

[Chorus]
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Thought she really rocked her role, yes, she did
Kept her tears up in her, bottled
Poured them out to save your soul

[Interlude]
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice

[Chorus]
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Thought she really rocked the role
Kept her tears up in her, bottled
Poured them out to save her soul

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Poured them out to save her soul

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.
