Prince - Hit n Run Album Lyrics

Million $ Show

[Chorus:]
Welcome
To the Mill-Million $ Show
This is something that you never seen before
Welcome
To the Mill-Million $ Show
This the kinda music make you lose control
[x2]

If you're ready come on let's go

You heard the news on the internet
About the tickets you got to get
Your favorite band is comin' to your town
What was lost is now found

Tell serena first come first serve
What we mean is who got the nerve
Standing outside people singing in line
Nothing out the [?] when you outta your mind

[Chorus]

Don't listen to the music
Sayin' fear the fro
You got your $ so you go, go, go
Miss it for the world - only the insane
They're coming thru the snow
The sleet or the rain
Miss it for the world - only insane

[Chorus]

Only the haters ever complain
Can't hear jack in the back of my plane
Turn the music up so the diss in vain
Turn the music up!

Shut This Down

We came to shut this down
We came to shut this down

Everybody knows
This is how it goes
Ain't no playing around
Just keep your eyes on me
If you wanna get pleased
I'm bout to shut this down

My hand is money
My ice is cold
Whatever you holdin'
You better fold
Cuz when we drop this
It's gonna make a sound
All around the world
When we come to town
We come to shut this down

You looking at me
But you never see
How i got so funky
It's a mystery
Must be genetics
My DNA
Electromagnaticsim
You can't get away

I get you baby
All sweaty and hot
I'm gonna get you where you never get got
Baby

We come to shut this down
If you got the jelly
I got your jam
I don't think you understand, we gonna do
This man
Gonna shut this down
We ain't playin around
U gotta that crew
Come on pretty
We gotta do the do
Let me do what we do

We come to shut this down
My hand is money
My ice is cold
Whatever you holdin'
You better fold
Cuz when we drop this
It's gonna make a sound
All around the world
When we come to town
We come to shut this down

Whatchu waiting for
Get out on the floor
Move your body round
Y'all know how we do
This the old school
Straight purple mack baby
We come to shut this down

Ain't About To Stop

[Prince:]
Closed over, day done
New day is dawning and the fun has just begun
Onto the next generation X
Didn't leave me nothing and nobody to respect
Looking to be proud, dirty projects
Hoping, hungry, feed my stomach
Y'all can see my mom's chest

[Prince:]
I come from north Minny
And I never run from any
And I ain't about 2 stop right now

[Prince & Rita Ora:]
If your life is a B-side, my dream is the A
I got a rockstar, celebration cannot drink away
I come from north Minny
And I never run from many
And I ain't about 2 stop right now
Ain't about 2 stop, ain't about 2 stop
Ain't about 2 stop, and I ain't about 2 stop right now
Ain't about 2 stop, ain't about 2 stop
Ain't about 2 stop right now

[Rita Ora:]
Low class, in the past
From the bottom up, we gettin' rough and kickin' ass
Never fail, cause see these females
We still gotta little bit of dirt on Nicki's hundred dollar nails
Ladies, fashion, once I get the cash in
Nothing is too good for Rita if she got the passion

[Prince:]
I come from north Minny
And I never run from any
And I ain't about 2 stop right now

[Prince & Rita Ora:]
If your life is a B-side, my dream is the A
I got a rockstar, celebration cannot drink away
I come from north Minny
And I never run from many
And I ain't about 2 stop right now
Ain't about 2 stop, ain't about 2 stop
Ain't about 2 stop, and I ain't about 2 stop right now
Ain't about 2 stop, ain't about 2 stop
Ain't about 2 stop right now

[Prince & Rita Ora:]
If you're not a Ritabot, you're a blood clot
If you're not a Ritabot, you're a blood clot
If you're not a Ritabot, you're a blood clot
If you're not a Ritabot, Ritabot, Ritabot

[Prince & Rita Ora:]
Woo, woo-woo
Woo, woo-woo
Woo, woo-woo
Woo, woo-woo
Ain't about 2 stop, ain't about 2 stop
Ain't about 2 stop
Ain't about 2 stop
Ain't about 2 stop
Ain't about 2 stop right now
Pick out my clothes

Like A Mack

[Curly Fryz:]
That's why I never let a man pick out my clothes

[Prince:]
Roll up in the town early afternoon (hey hey hey)
Looking for the pimp dress that'll make you swoon (hey hey hey)
Found a little number and a fancy brassiere (hey hey hey)
Lookin' like a mack all up in here (lookin' like a mack all up in here)

[Chorus - Prince:]
Whole block lookin' and the girls are hot
Pick one come and show me what you got
Everything or nothing if you want a lot of what's cookin'
She's lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin' like a mack, like a mack

[Curly Fryz:]
Whatcha lookin' at me? Oh!
Step in lookin' like who? Whoa!
Drop it down then I pick it up slow
We run the town, city, states and the globe
Tryin' holla, I'm like, "What? No!"
Plus he lookin' like eww, gross!
I'm on the wave can you keep up with my flow
My music bang, you can feel it in your soul

And I rolled up in the town early afternoon
On the block lookin' hot like it's early June
At the top shinin' bright something like the moon
Can you picture with my lyrics bumpin' my cartoons
With my ace cause we're queens so we never get carded
Kill the scene then we leave call it "dearly departed"
Tryin' to dip but we can't cause we getting bombarded
You already know we coming the hardest

[Chorus - Curly Fryz:]
Cam light flashing and my click is hot
Pick one and come and show me what you got
Everything or nothing if you wanna a lot of what's cookin
'Cause she's lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', aw

[Prince:]
Look at little Willy walking down this way
Only bring a blonde on a good day
Not another autograph, cue the DJ
Everybody dance when I say
Whole block crushing and the girls are hot
Dancin' with each other cause the boys are not
Tryin' to trade numbers for the drinks they bought
But, whatcha supposed to think in a club full of thots

[Chorus - Prince:]
Pro black fashion and the girls are hot
Pick one, come and show me what you got
Everything or nothing if you wanna a lot of what's cookin'
Cause she's lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', like a mack

[Curly Fryz:]
Here's my crew dressed in all black like we mobbin'
Pockets got the mumps so you know we never starvin'
Noddin' and bobbin' our heads to the beat
You see how we rockin' shows, go and get up out your seats
Life is like a movie when we step upon the stage
I got fifty different styles that I got up on display
We gon' make the party jump so you know we're here to stay
Stackin' paper up while y'all on the same page, come on

[Chorus - Curly Fryz:]
Cam light flashin' 'and my click is hot (hey)
Pick one and come and show me what you got (come on)
Everything or nothing if you wanna a lot of what's cookin'
'Cause she's lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', aw

[Prince:]
Tryin' to trade numbers for the drinks they bought (hey hey hey)
Drinks they bought, dri-drinks they bought (hey hey hey)
Club on a, club on a, club on a
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Club on a, club on a, club on a
She's lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', like a mack

Lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin'

This Could B Us

You ready?
Naw... you ain't ready (naw, you ain't ready)
I mean ready for us

(You know you want me like a new pair of shoes)

This could be us
But you be playin'
This could be us
But you keep on fooling around

You're the cage to my dove
I'm just saying
Forever and ever in love
Oh baby yea
This could be us

(You know you want me like a new pair of shoes)

This could be us
This could be us

You, you say you ain't ready
Ready to go steady, you ain't ready for us (no)
Cause what I got make you weak in the knees
Take your energy (oh baby), make you sleep for a week
Sex with me ain't enough
That's why we gotta do it, metaphysically

(This could be us)
This could be us
(This could be us)
This could be us

I, I know you're lovin your freedom
Cause your freedom, is paying your bills (on funky dolla holla)
(Yes it is)
Boyfriends, you think you don't need 'em
But in the middle of the cold, cold night
I think you will (show you right)

This could be us yes
But you be playin' (oh yeah...)
This could be us (you sho' nuff could be)
But you keep on fooling around

We, we come upon a crossroad
And we got to decide (decide), which way to turn
(Which way, "yes" which way to turn)
Are we gonna go (Are we gonna go)
Go (Are we gonna)
Over the bridge (Over the bridge)
Over the bridge (Over the bridge)
Before, before it burns
(Don't you let it burn) let it burn, baby

(This could be us)
This could be us
(oh yea)
This could be us
(Oh you gotta stop playin baby)

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That a woman needs love (L-O-V-E, love)
Like a river flow, like a river flow
(Inside) If it's good, that's all she thinkin' of

Metaphysical cookie makin' creme
Sleep alone if you wanna
Nothing mystical let me lick it pretty clean
(Like a new pair of shoes)
After that, (You can put me on my back)
(You gonna want to show me off to the world)
You can put me in the back with the candy in
My purple psychedelic pimp sac
When I, Ooohhhhh

This right here
This could be us
This could be us

This could be us (oh yeah)
But you be playin' (yes you do now)
This could be us (honey, honey, honey)
But you keep on fooling around

You're the cage to my dove
I'm just saying (I'm just saying)
Forever and ever in love
Oh baby yea
This could be us

(This could be us)
This could be us
(This could be us)
This could be us

This could be us

This could be us

You're the cage to my dove
Only one I been dreaming of
Forever and ever in love
Ohh baby, yea
This could be
This could be
This could be us,
But you don't have time for
Me... no... more
The happy & the free

Fallinlove2nite

Don't, don't you wanna
Fall in love tonight
She said, don't, don't you wanna
Fall in love tonight
Special night, my favorite crew
The moon threatened to dance her out of her shoes
In his ear, he was about to hear
An offer that he could not refuse

She said...

Don't, don't you wanna
Don't you wanna fall in love tonight
(She said)
Don't, don't you wanna
Don't you wanna fall in love tonight

She said...

Underneath the taffeta
There ain't no better hiding place
If I see the moon, I'll just laugh at her
Wanna wake up to your, your pretty face

Don't, don't you wanna
Don't you wanna fall in love tonight
(She said)
Don't, don't you wanna
Don't you wanna do it till the morning light

She said...

We can sleep all day tomorrow
Dream about this fantasy, fantasy
We don't have to backspin, apologize, or borrow
Uh, 'bout to go hard, y'all ready for me

Don't, don't you wanna
Don't you wanna fall in love tonight
(She said)
Don't, don't you wanna
Don't you wanna do it till the morning light

X's Face

A few months ago or maybe it was years
It was a heartbreak and so many tears
How she gonna make it out here on her own
A body like that should never be alone
A kiss on the stairway, another man's embrace
How was she in know, just what was taking place?
Too busy with the jugular and how it taste
To remember what she saw in the X's face

The X's face
The X's face

Long time ago or maybe yesterday
You and I in chariots, on our way
Proper celebration for what we've learned
But for every battle won, there are scars and burns
For every broken heart, there's another will mend
Who needs enemies when you got friends
For every open door there's something in the way
Last time we checked it was the X's face

The X's face
The X's face

Everybody know about the X's face
Black don't crack
Bass don't bate
Go and take that banana
Then get back in your cage
Oh Lord
Ooh ooh ah hah ah ah
The X's face
Go and take that banana, take it
The X's face
Get it, I said you could have it
Oh no
The X's face

Hardrocklover

There's nothing for the record
And nothing to condemn
It's in between this waking life
And REM
But you walked into the party
To tell me to live up to our dreams
We 'bout to get it started
Turn my guitar up so I can make this woman scream!
So I can make this woman scream!

It's time to check your cell phone
Red Bull and Patrón
Ain't no rapper tryna be a singer
Gonna make her moan
Sade and Babyface
R&B ain't got no place
Put some hard rock on
You better cover your ears
Cause you're about to hear a woman just scream!
Scream!

She said if I don't ever get to kiss you
I'm really gonna make a scene
I said damn you just want me to be
Another rip in your jeans
That's when she ordered strawberries, chocolate and whipped cream
My [?] all turned up
And this woman screamed, screamed, screamed, screamed, screamed

She likes to party hard
She's a HardRockLover
Party hard
She's a HardRockLover now
She likes to party hard
She's a HardRockLover
Party hard
She's a HardRockLover now

Party hard
She's a HardRockLover
Party hard
She's a HardRockLover now

Mr. Nelson

Mister Nelson, mister, mister Nelson
Mister Nelson, mister, mister Nelson
Mister Nelson, mister, mister Nelson
Mister Nelson

We don't need no clouds, we know
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We don't need no clouds, we know
Where you are now
Is in a place that does not require time
Time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time

Mister Nelson
Mister Nelson
Mister Nelson
Mister Nelson
Mister Nelson

1000 Xs & 0s

You work so hard, you really do
I don't think that anyone could ever work as hard as you
Hot desert sun, you can feel the heat
Every drop of sweat on your brow is what I am so you best believe

I got 1,000 hugs and kisses 4 you when you come back home, baby
I got 1,000 hugs and kisses 4 you when you come back home, baby

When you give 'em your all, and still it's only second best
You can come and lay your head upon your baby's chest
Every one of your worries, all your miseries (All your miseries)
You can put them in the little book and ship them off 2 sea
Cuz...

I got a 1,000 hugs and kisses you when you come back home
Come here!

The world can be, well 2 put it frankly, such a bitch sometimes
Seems like love that lasts 4ever is so damn hard 2 find
Seems like all we ever find is another reason 2 cry
As long as you got me I got your back and this is why

You work so hard, you really do
I don't think that anyone could ever work as hard as you
Better lock the door, you better turn off the phone
Cuz I'm gonna give 1,000 reasons why we need 2 be alone

I got 1,000 hugs and kisses, baby, when you get back home
When you get back home

I wanna hold you, tie you up in lace
And I wanna kiss you, kiss you all over your face
I wanna love you all up and down
Give you love like you never had, all, ungagged and bound
I got 1,000 hugs and kisses 4 you, baby
(I got 1,000 hugs and kisses 4 you when you come back home, baby)
I wanna, I wanna, yeah, I wanna hug you baby, kiss you
(I got 1,000 hugs and kisses 4 you when you come back home, baby)

Love you up and love you down
Love you till you make them sounds

June

Pasta simmers on the stove in June
Makes no sense yet, but it will soon
Conversation starters come way too hard
Nobody wants to be the martyr,
playin' the wrong cards
Why did you come to this planet?
Why did you come to this life?
How can you be everybody's dream,
and still be somebody's wife?
Tell me, what did you have for lunch today?
That's right, how would I know?
How would I know?
You are off somewhere, being free
while I starve in the lonesome cold.
Our bodies got used to each other
Now they're used to the sound
of Richie Havens' voice on the vinyl,
spinning round and round, round and round
Sometimes I feel I was born way too late
Shoulda been born on the Woodstock stage
But I'm just here, waitin', and waitin', and waitin'
Somebody famous had a birthday today
All I saw was another full moon
What's that?
Something's burning on the stove
Must be the pasta
Must be the pasta
Oh yeah, it's June
