Anyway, Does Prince think he's AA or Black? Apparently not.
Since that time though he has given the impression, at least to me, that he considers himself black, at least when he feels like it.
True, remember Prince came out staying he was black to Spike Lee and he is "down with the brothas" when a new album was dropping and he did not have major label support. I ain't tryin' to say anything bad about the brotha, but...you know...
Here are the lyrics to Prince's song entitled Race. You can listen to the song HERE.
Quote:
Lie down, fair 1, and come away
Till the rain is over and gone
G-G-Gimme the beat now (Face the music)
Lead line (Face the music)
If the air is a little thick in this room 2nite
I reckon it's the result of an onslaught of separatist rookies
Overcome by this colorful sight
Talkin' so fast that even they
Talkin' so fast that even they
Don't know what they mean
Of all the things that base a rhyme
How is it that U everytime
Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart?
Thank God this ain't Monopoly
U'd make us all go back 2 start
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red
I gotcha
Race
Race
Check it
Three seats over there's a lady black
Entrusted 2 her care is a little white girl
And the fact of the matter is
Before her momma or another kid at school
Tells her about the fallacy that 1 race rules over the other
She'd be a much-better-off-left fool (Face the music)
If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed
Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear, tell me now how now would we know
And then the band say
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Race
Face the music
We all bones when we dead
Race
In the space I mark human (Face the music)
Cut me, cut U
Both the blood is red
I gotcha
Race
Race
(Face the music)
D-d-down with H-I-S-T-O-R-Y and all this BS propagandi
Keepin U from me and me from U as we grow
I don't wanna know (I don't wanna know)
Why those before us hated each other
I'd rather believe they never did
I'd rather believe (I'd rather, I'd rather believe)
That there's hope 4 a kid
And if he imitates the best
I guess that's what I'll try 2 be
And I will let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea
Race

Face the music (Face the music)
