The Good Life (Big City Remix)•Super Hero The "Come On" maxi-single has it's own entry here. |
This section will include songs that Prince wrote for other artists that are not on any album. Some tracks are remixes of album tracks, some are B-sides to singles and some are stand-alone releases. We decide which remixes to transcribe based on if it contains new lyrics or not. If the remix simply repeats or re-arranges lyrics from the album track, we will not include it. Some maxi-singles may have their own page. Also, if the non-album track has no Prince influence, it will not be included.

The Good Life (Big City Remix)
Testicles 1-2The good life - (Microphone check) Checkin' the mic 1-2
The good life - (Microphone check) Checkin' the mic 1-2
The good life - (Bought a house next 2 Prince) I'll be checkin'
the mic 1-2
The good life - (Microphone check) N.P.G. on the mic 1-2
The good life one day I'll be livin'
Sick of the bullshit this life be givin'
Every single day harder than the last one
Keep my dollars, fuckin' hope they have a son
Then I'll be another million ahead of the game
Spoon full of sugar and a glass of fame
Checkin' young lions callin' me outta my name
Even Shaq know it anything but tame
We be, and there ain't no hooks (mind 2 mind) until we say so
Everybody's a slave until U say no
And take control of every 'hood (Got my ass in Minnesota)
And U'll be livin' the life and it'll be all good
The good life - (Microphone check) Checkin' the mic 1-2
The good life - (Microphone check) We be checkin' the mic 1-2
(Bought a house next 2 Prince)
The good life - Mmm, checkin' the mic 1-2
The good life - (Microphone check) N.P.G. on the mic 1-2
The good gig, yeah, U know
We don't need 2 boast about the fact we put the "O"
in show
Stadium here, there, we just got back from Glasgow
100,000 nightly, still we ain't happy, oh no
Don't ask me why though
Open up that can of worms and several gonna cry, yo
But Nicey B. got my back now
But 'til she tell me otherwise, we kickin' down doors
Stupid motherfuckers need 2 know
This little nigga gotta flow
Slippier than a baby just out da ho'
Here we go, here we go, here we go
The good life - (Microphone check) Checkin' the mic 1-2
The good life - (Microphone check) Checkin' the mic 1-2
(Bought a house next 2 Prince)
The good life - We be checkin' the mic 1-2
The good life - (Microphone check) N.P.G. on the mic 1-2
Go on brothers, do shit
(Bought a house next 2 Prince)
(Bought a house next 2 Prince)
(Bought a house, bought a house)
Sexophones and violins
Crack house bass be funkier than
20 cans of wet magic shave
I know U know we know how 2 rave
Cuz we be checkin' 4 the 5 and 6
A loop don't matter if the sample don't fit {x2}
A loop don't, loop don't, loop don't matter if the sample don't
fit
Tell me now, what is hip?
(Example A:) A skinny black nigga on the bass?
(Example B:) Or somebody hoppin' around like they gettin' their
ass whipped?
Here come the judge like Ito
And just like Aretha with a sack of Fritos
We funkin' till the kingdom come
Tito got your tissue son
Before this motherfucker's done
Somebody goin' down and it won't be this one (Not I)
Because we're here 2 have fun
It ain't about the money or the gun
We just wanna be free as the sun
Then we'll be all nice livin' that...
Good life - (Microphone check)
The good life - (Microphone check) Checkin' the mic 1-2
The good life - (Bought a house next 2 Prince)
The good life - (Microphone check) Get wild y'all
The good life {x3}
(Bought a house next 2 Prince)
The good life
(Bought a house next 2 Prince)
(Bought a house, bought a house)
Good life {x2}

(Yeah hey!)
(Yeah!)
CHORUS:
I will be your super hero
But U must understand
If I'm 2 be your super hero (Yeah hey!)
U must give me half a chance
Listen 2 my band
I am born unto poverty and fear
I am scorned, yet I hold back my tears
There's so much I can and will and want 2 do
But I cannot until I get through 2 U
CHORUS
(I will be your super hero)
(U must understand)
(Hey, yeah)
I am lucky if I learn 2 read and write
Where I live U must first learn 2 stand and fight
I'm the product of the system, I'm aware
What's my name? (don't matter) Nobody cares!
CHORUS
(Be your super hero)
(But U don't understand)
(Well, well, well)
(Hey, hey)
Listen 2 my band
{scatting}
Yeah, well
Yeah, hey!
Understand U need me if U ever go 2 war
But I don't understand if I buy the goods (Understand)
Why I can't own the store
Don't tell me that I am not worthy after 400 years overtime
If it's yours then tell me why can't it be mine
I am just as good as U or any kind
There's so much I can and will and want 2 do
But I cannot until I get through 2 U
CHORUS
(I will be your super hero)
(Please understand)
(Be your super hero)
(If U give me half a chance)
Listen 2 my band (Listen 2 my band)
{scatting}
Give us what U give your brothers then U'll understand
(Give them theirs) (Oh hey!)
That I won't be your super hero till U give us all U can
(I won't be your hero) (All U can, hey!)
Now! {x2} (Yeah, well, yeah!)
CHORUS {x2}
(Be your super hero)
(U must understand)
(Wanna be your super hero)
(Give me half a chance)
(I will be your super hero)
(Please understand)
(I wanna be your super hero)

NPG – "The War" © 1998 NPG Records |
I can't hear U, say it
Y'all ain't ready, I can't hear U, say it
Do like this...
The evolution will be colorized
This is the war... right on!
The war will go on and on and on
If U don't wanna miss your Saturday morning cartoons
1,2, the evolution will be colorized {x2}
Yeah... right on!
Y'all niggas is bad
The war will go on and on
Revolution will be... {x2}
Revolution will be on and on and...
(1,2) {repeated}
War will go on and on
If U do not wish 2 be in the war U should leave now
We are about 2 challenge what U believe
If U do not wish 2 be challenged U should leave now
Saturday morning awaits
Do U love your country? {x2} (Yes)
Do U love God? (Yes)
Do U love your country as much as U love God? (No)
If the government... {x2}
If the government wants 2 put a microchip in your neck, heh heh,
right on!
Do U still love your country? (No)
The war will go on and on
If U do not wish 2 be challenged, leave now
The evolution will be colorized
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
We are running out of the essentials of life:
Oxygen, water, food, fertile earth
Underground right now as we speak, there is a metropolis
Awaiting, waiting... 4 U, me
Clean air, food 2 eat
Will U go, will U go?
Will U go underground 2 this metropolis, this metropolis paradise?
We are running out of the essentials of life here on earth
Will U go, will U go, will U go?
Don't U love your country? (No)
If your country no longer exists on this earth
But exists under this earth, will U go?
Underneath in this metropolis, there's food 2 eat, clean air
It's a paradise
One condition: microchip in your neck
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
Right on!
Would U stay above the metropolis, the microchip city?
Would U stay above and await your fate?
Do U trust your God? (Yeah)
Would U stay on top of the chip and await your fate?
2night U will be challenged, U best leave now
This war will go on and on
2, the evolution will be colorized
1,2
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
Without God there is no country
Without God there is no metropolis
Without God there is no oxygen, there is no food to eat
Without God there is no chocolate microchip 4 your neck
Somebody say it
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
In other words, there'll be a little bit of U and a little bit of
me
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
The evolution will be colorized {x2}
1 4 me, 2 4 U
Preach a lie, not the truth
U give me candy, I keep the store
Gonna' eat it in the war
I said, 1 4 me, 2 4 U
U preach a lie, not the truth
U give me candy, keep the store
Gonna' eat it in the war
Batter up, pitcher down
What your teachers say, it ain't down
Pledge allegiance 2 your flag
U tie me 2 a truck, 'n' then U drag
1 4 me, 2 4 U
U preach a lie, not a truth
U give me candy and keep the store
U gonna eat it in the war
U give me AIDS, your history
When it comes 2 mine, another name
Many die and this is true
Red, black, yellow, even Jew
Claimin' God was backin' U on a cross, what a fool
1 4 me, 2 4 U
U preach a lie, not the truth
U give me candy, U keep the store
Gonna eat it in the war
Shall I go on? (Yes)
So U say U got a cure?
HIV, I'm not sure
Every seed, fruit 2 bear
The great Babylon, I don't care
We know your name, it's the beast
All of God's child is your feast
When the righteous one plant the seed
No more kids with mama bleed
Only way 2 get there is the truth, y'all
In the war, talkin' 'bout me and U
Come on
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
1,2
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
1,2
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
Play your organ, son
(1,2) {repeated}
1 4 me, 2 4 U
Preach a lie, not the truth
Give me candy, U keep the store
What the hell is goin' on y'all?
There's a mountain that's mighty high
Can't reach the top unless U fly
Ain't about the money, it's about the gold
21st century, money just got sold, y'all
Ya hear me?
Money just got sold, y'all
Check the yen
It's has-been
It's all gone
Your pocketbook is next
It's about the gold y'all
1,2, the evolution will be colorized
1,2, the evolution will be {x2}
The evolution will be
The... evolution... will... be... colorized
(1,2, the evolution will be colorized) {repeated till end}
