[Intro: Prince]

Get free, yeah


[Refrain: Kirk John & Morris Hayes]

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now


[Verse 1: Prince]

Once again I don't follow trends, they just follow me

Just like the Israelites through the Red Sea

It might take you some time but you will want to see

The undisputed truth and get free


[Refrain: Kirk John & Morris Hayes]

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now


[Sample: Chuck D]

Once again, back is the incredible


[Verse 2: Prince]

At the very core of thinking I originate

That's why you'll never know my thinking or my fate

Invisible, unless of course you are my mate

If not, you think you see me, I disintegrate

Disintegrate my thoughts from yours

You can feel me coming out of everyone of your pores

Reintegrating where I am understood and adored

You're just to my subject , that's why you're out of touch

So what's this claim, out of what?

My dear, I am the touch


[Ad lib: Chuck D.]

Ooh, hear me, feel me

Ooh, hear me, feel me


[Refrain: Kirk John & Morris Hayes]

NPG (get funky)

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now


[Verse 3: Prince]

I can give you power (Power) I can take it away

I can make you dance, 'cause this guitar I play

Heavy rotation

Never made my world go 'round

Commercialization, commercialization of the music

Is what brought it down


[Verse 4: Prince]

My level is now what you must learn to rise above

Talk to D'Angelo or better yet

Questlove

It might take y'all some time but you will learn to see

The undisputed truth and get free (Get free)


[Refrain: Kirk John & Morris Hayes]

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now

NPG get rowdy, get rowdy now


[Verse 5: Chuck D]

(Bass)

Funky

NPG, New power generation

Free nation, free nation, check it

(Undisputed)

Come on, come all to the download ball, off

There's no curfew to hurt you, no substitutions

School's now in session

Put down the Smith & Wessons

Real renegades don't invite grenades to make the grade

This is a brain raid

Who rise above the lies, raise above these days

New ways disguised as a craze

Uh, gotcha back against the status they throwin' up at us

Back against the wall again

High trees catch a lot of wind, oh

Last band standing

Gotta knock my over standing according to planning

And look up in the sky

No cable wire

Whoa, God bless the child

God bless the child

So funky

Bass
