Lyrics:

(I wanna be your lover) (partyup) (controversy) (prince)

(I wanna be your lover) (partyup) (controversy)

(I wanna be your lover) (partyup) (controversy) (prince)

(I wanna be your lover) (partyup) (controversy)

My name is prince and I am funky

My name is prince the one and only

I did not come 2 funk around

'tll I get your daughter I won't leave this town

In the beginning God made the sea

But on the 7th day he made me

He was tryin' to rest y'all when he heard the sound

Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down

I tried to bust a high note, but I bust a string

My God was worried 'til he heard me sing


My name is prince and I am funky

My name is prince the one and only - hurt me


(do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

Hurt me (do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)


My name is prince and I am funky

When it come to funk I am a junky

I know from righteous I know from sin

I got 2 sides and they both friends

Don't try 2 clock 'em, they're much too fast

If u try to stop 'em they kick that ass

Without a pistol, without a gun

When u hear my music you'll be havin' fun

That's when I gottcha that's when u mine

To tell the truth, tell me what's my line?


My name is prince and I am funky (you can't stop prince)

My name is prince the one and only - hurt me (you can't stop prince)


(do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

Funky fresh 4 the 90's (do that, do that, somebody) (prince)


My name is prince, I don't wanna be king

Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream

Big cars and women and fancy clothes

Will save your face but it won't save your soul

I'm here to tell you that there's a better way

Would our lord be happy if he came 2 day?

I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than u

But if u want 2 play with me, u better learn the rules


My name is prince and I am funky (you can't stop prince)

My name is prince the one and only (you can't stop prince)

I did not come 2 funk around (you can't stop prince)

'till I get your daughter I won't leave this town

I won't leave this town

I won't leave this town

I won't leave this - leave this - leave this


My name is prince and I am funky (you can't stop prince)

My name is prince the one and only (you can't stop prince)

Funky fresh 4 the 90's (do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

(do that, do that, somebody)

Hurt me (do that, do that, some....)


The funkier I be

The funkier I get, oh shit

Lickety split on the lyric

A new jack in the pulpit

Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'

What is this u're seekin'?

The syncopated rhymes are at their peak

When you jumped on my d.i.c.k.

That's the one thing that I don't play

The jock strap was 2 big 4 u anyway

U're just a simpleton

I'll bust u like a pimple, son

My star is 2 bright

Boy, I'll sink u like the ship poseidon adventure

U're bumpin' dentures 2 be cocksure

There must be more coming from

Your mouth than manure.

So with a flow and a spray, I say hey

U must become a prince before u're king anyway


(do that, do that somebody)

(do that, do that somebody)


It's time I get ig-nig-nig-nig-nig-nig-n-ignorant

Def be the beat that I'm rockin'

Yo so, come get a hit

And put your thinking cap on

U've been forewarned

I call upon the inner forces that I've got brewin'

In my cauldron. that means my nugget...

Sometimes I'm rugged

The style I posses be havin'

The other brothers buggin' and this is 4 those who oppose

And propose 2 overexpose disclose

Pose a threat 2 my brother

Like any other man makin' a stand

I'll be damned if I let u play this hand

I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked

What do u expect 2 win when u're used to playing craps?


(do that, do that somebody)

Hell yeah, let's get this under the hmm...

(do that, do that somebody)



'damn.' it's gettin' tricky

I mean it's a sticky situation

2 resurrect a groove with feeling

And give it this much affection

Passion flows and who knows

What lurks in the gallows of my mind

I put my foot in the ass of jim crow

12 inches of non-stop sole

I'm on a roll with p, and it's time for the show

So do that, do that somebody

Wave your hands in the air

This is a motherfucking party

While u're laying back I'm on the attack paddywhack

Give yourself a bone

This is my house and I'm prone

2 layin' some chrome upside some motherfuckers dome

And I'm out...


My name is prince and I am funky

My name is prince the one and only


My name is prince

My name is prince

My name is prince

My name is prince

My name is prince

My name is prince

My name is prince

My name is prince

My name is prince


My name is prince
