New Power Generation - Prince

Don’t pick my apples, don’t pick my peaches

(we r the new power generation)

leave my tree alone… leave it alone… leave it alone

(we r the new power generation)

Don’t u look at me

(we r the new power generation)

If you’re sad and u know it and u think u want to blow it let your feelings out, love is there

Just go!

Kid!

Yo Kid!

I got ta do this, I got the noise, I got ta do this

so pump the big noise, c’mon in the house…

this here rap’s about the true confession

if ya listen close u 'bout to learn a lesson

u must know failure before success

now this is the failure I must confess (well…)

I was hanging onto life trying deal with this

playing the games, almost got dismissed

cocaine was the thing that I took on and nowhere was the place that I was going (preacher, cmon on)

I must tell the truth, I cannot lie

I was headed 4 the kill, steal, destroy, and die

top 2 the bottom 2 bottom 2 top

success is where I’m headed there ain’t no doubt

success is something that we all want

but the truth is what we need to reach our point

I had to give this message the so-called truth

I hope it’s somthing in it that’s there 4 u

{on top of:

love to the left of me, love to the right

come on make a noise, somebody

party tonight!

(oh yeah!)}

like I told ya before, I’m a tell ya again

success is something that’s deep within

so remember the truth you cant go wrong

the flesh is weak and the spirit is strong

I know it to do this rap, and I know its right

'cause I did it in the name of Jesus Christ

(cmon somebody lets party tonite)

Party tonight!

(oh yeah!)

you want me 2 what?

(shake!)

what?

(shake! shake!)

awww, right

the New Power Generation has just taken control
