New Power Generation
Is this Paisley Park?
No, this is not that record company
This is N.P.G. Records
Are U conducting a talent search?
Yes, that's true

What are U looking 4?
What are we looking 4?
Yes
Well, first and foremost, U have 2 get free
Free?

Ahh
Second of all, U have 2 get smart
Wait a minute
The more substantial your education

Really?
And thirdly and above all
What?
In the face of all adversity, U must be able 2...

Get wild! Ah!
Get wild! Ooh, ooh, baby!
Get wild!

When U're sick of that 9 2 5
And U're ready 2 come alive
When U look both high and low
And U can't find a trumpet that blows

Come on, baby, where the good times never die
Come on, baby, where the damsels good and fly
Come on, baby, U can shake your funky monkey till it cry
Polyvinyl acetate will keep your monkey high
If U wanna get real freaky, now's the time 2 try

CHORUS
Get wild! - Everybody up in the place
Get wild! - It don't matter what sex or race
Get wild! - All U nasty girls and boys
If U wanna get wild, say yeah - Make some noise!

When U want 2 get in the groove
But the music don't make U move
Hip the DJ 2 a new CD
Anything by the N.P.G.

Come on, baby, where the good times never die
Come on, baby, where the damsels good and fly
Come on, baby, U can shake your funky monkey till it cry
Polyvinyl acetate will keep your monkey high
If U wanna get real freaky, now's the time 2 try

CHORUS

Get wild! - Like U know U need 2
Pick a funky outfit short and see-through
Versace got it going on in the gold mesh
Won't U try it on 2 night when U get dressed?
Get Wild's the only aroma that my nose'll see
Won't U spray a little where U think I'm gonna be?
And U know, U know what shoes 2 wear
The ones so high U're scared

Ououo, peligro que aqui yo vengo!

When U can't find the G 2 your GO
Even charged, your battery's low
When the smoke's 2 thick 2 blow
There's a brand new high we know

Come on, baby, where the good times never die
Come on, baby, where the damsels good and fly
Come on, baby, U can shake your funky monkey till it cry
Polyvinyl acetate will keep your monkey high
If U wanna get real freaky, now's the time 2 try

CHORUS

Get wild!
Shake your money maker
Get wild!
Shake your money maker
Get wild!
Shake your money maker
Get wild!

Come on, get wild!

I don't know
Don't worry, it'll be alright
Yeah, I count the days

Count the days

Here's a church, here's a steeple
Here's a muthafucka that I gotta blow away
Here's my chance 2 cure the ills of the people
But not until I make this muthafucka pay
And oh, baby I count the days

I count the days
Here's the interview, here's the time
If I keep your secrets, will U keep mine?
If we hurry, we can catch the train
If it was left up 2 U, I would die in pain

I count the days
Whoa, I'm counting
Hear me
Days
Counting the days

Great day in the morning
My choir sing a pretty song
Every day I'm with your ass is another day wasted
I swear is a day 2 long

Counting
Like Frankie Beverly without Maze
I'm counting
Muthafucka, I count the days

Can I count on?
Count on?
Count on?
I count the days
Count the days

The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - One day we'll know
Everyday after school, U know where 2 find this brother
Uptown at every movie show, outta my life 2 another
That was the only thing that I wanted 2 do, that was my drug of choice
Left all the funny smellin' cigarettes 2 the American boys

"La Dolce Vita" was the knob that turned me on
Marcello Mastroianni Italian Mac comin' on strong
He had all the honies, the kind from the magazines
Small waist, big - Right!... biggest ones U've ever seen

The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - One day we'll know, one day we'll know

Mama worked all night, went 2 school by day
Wanted 2 get her Master Degree so she could make a better way
Set examples 4 her babies that we'll never forget
That's where I guess my spirit comes from, eternally never met

Oh, the good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - One day we'll know

Good life
Good life

Hey, hey, hey!
Peace 2 the mother that knows
That the babies are the key 2 the world, key 2 the world
The battles of the future will be won
By those who teach those baby boys and girls
This is our plea 2 the brothers
Who are tired of the barely gettin' by, instead U should try
2 see your future map out your steps
And make sure no one dies

The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the everyday gets on your last one, give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future, the good life - One day we'll know

The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - One day we'll know

New power generation
Tryin' 2 lead the good life
Oh yeah, oh Lord
Good life
The good life
Good life
The good life

Good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
2 the place in everyone's future
The good life - One day we'll know

Good life

Good life
The good life
One day we'll know!

Cherry, cherry
Rozanda was her real name
But cherry was her chosen one
Everybody said that she'd soon be dead
But cherry replied "At least I had some fun"

Her eyes were like a pool of 24 karat diamonds
I was the last in a long line of foolish men who dived in

CHORUS
Cherry, cherry
I think about U every rising sun
Whoa Cherry, Cherry
Wherever U are, I hope U're havin' fun

Tuesday was my big game
North vs. Central in basketball
Underneath their long coats
Cherry and the girls wore camisoles
Every time North would run the hoop
Cherry would flash 'em and they would fall
But not as hard as I fell
When Cherry gave me her number and told me 2 call

Using all the money her boyfriend Wilbur gave her, she'd buy
Anything I wanted, that's why my baby's so fly

CHORUS

Me and cherry got married
And tried our best 2 keep it on the down low, the down low

I was combing her hair
The day that Wilbur called and cussed her on the phone
He beat her up real bad and figured I was gonna leave her
Instead I bought a 45 and set out 2 relieve her
If he was taken out then he could never harm another
No sooner than I got there, I was met by Cherry's mother cryin'

Cherry, cherry
Every night I ask the Lord why? Oh why?
Cherry, cherry
Another victim of a suicide
Why?

Cherry, cherry
I think about U every rising sun
Whoa cherry, cherry
Wherever U are, I hope U're havin' fun
I hope U're having fun, baby

Cherry, cherry
I'd give anything 2 kiss U
Cherry, cherry
I guess I just miss U
Cherry

Move nigga!
What?!
Nigga, take your big Edsel drivin' ass on fool
Get your ass whipped out here talkin' shit
Broke ass motherfucker!
Naw man
Oh, he called us broke!

Ahh yeah
Oww!
Hit me band!
Oww!
Hit me band!
From out of nowhere so they came
Smellin' like a dozen cans of wet Magic Shave
Some fool in a red mask totin' a one-eyed bass
Pulled it out, stuck it up the police officer's face and said...

CHORUS
Bow down muthafucka, surrender your rod
Nothin' can save U unless His name is God
U better get your house in order, it's gettin' late
The return of the bump squad is comin' your way

Get off me jigger before I get perturbed
Find a job, lose the herb
24 half eaten chicken legs
Make U wanna holler, make U beg

U don't understand where I'm comin' from
I don't want your woman if she's acting dumb
She ain't got no money, so how she gonna pay?
If the girl can't have it when they grab a hold of me and say...

Bow down muthafucka, surrender your rod
Nothin' can save U unless His name is God
U better get your house in order, I said it's gettin' late
The return of the bump squad is comin' your way

Hey, come on
Hey
Mmm, come on

Another house party is running late
Nona's in the backyard, but she got 2 wait
She's got 2 get free y'all so she can sell her tape
Add an E 2 rap, and it spells rape
Mmm hmm

Come on baby, wake up
I'm sleepy
Come on, let me lick your nipple
I... I got a headache
Oww!

Bow down muthafucka
The return of the bump squad
Bow down, bow down, mmm
It's coming your way

Calmate, mi hijo
No vayas tan duro
Estas caderas estan hechas para el amor
Oye, espera un segundo!
Tu eres como un cono!

Bow down muthafucka, surrender your rod
Nothin' can save U unless His name is God
U better get your house in order, it's gettin' late
The return of the bump squad is comin' your way

Add that E 2 rap, what's it spell?
Bow down muthafucka
U heard them niggas said bow down

Bow down muthafucka, surrender your rod
Nothin' can save U unless His name is God
U better get your house in order, it's gettin' late
The return of the bump squad is comin' your way

Y'all hold that groove 4 a while while I pull out the good book
As they journey from the Mt. Horeb by the way of the Red sea
2 compass the Land of Edom
And the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way
And the people spake against God and against Moses
Wherefore have ye brought us up 2 Egypt 2 die in the wilderness

So we sayin' y'all U can bump, but U best get your house in order
And get back in the music books U no changin' juvenile delinquent ass jiggers
And turn that loop off, damn!

Hey Sonny?
Ain't y'all got a record player?
Well, why the hell don't U use them?
I'm tired of hearin' the same damn records all the fuckin' time!

Return of the bump squad

CHORUS

White business man tryin' 2 convince brother 2 get job

Another day, another dollar
Your nigga's home
Don't make me holler
Is anybody home?
Hmm, I guess not
Let's see what's on the hellavision...

U like the food here?
Good, huh?

Yeah, some corn, yeah
Let's see, uh
I'm on a date with this broad, right?
Let's see, stove top directions, uh
I bring her here
Yeah, right here
I thought I'd put some food in her belly
Empty contents into small sauce pan, hmm
U know, get a little curve in her slope
U know what I'm sayin?
Right...
Now let me go see if I can find one of these muthafuckers, hmm
So I'm like "Go ahead toots, order what U like, it's on me"
Make her think I'm a big shot, U know
I said "So order, order somethin' 4 me 2
I'm gonna run 2 the little boys room
Hmm, shit, that definitely ain't no sauce pan
I gotta burp the baby
Mmm, that ain't no sauce pan
U know what I'm sayin'?"
I figured she'd order me somethin' light
Let me see if I can find this shit
Like a couple of salads or somethin'
Boy, was that a mistake
I comes back from the bathroom
Alright, got it, got it
I'm sittin' there
Ah, that's cool
Waitin' 4 the food
Now, if I can just get this corn open
This broad ordered the whole left side of the menu!
OK, let's see
Said she just wanted 2 nibble
Where's the damn can opener? Shit!
Nibble my ass
I'll open this muthafucker
I'm hungry!
This broad ate every fuckin' thing except the silverware
Shit ain't openin'
I kid U not
Shit's gonna open now
I mean, she was a little on the thick side 2 begin with
Alright, I got it, mmm hmm
U know what I mean?
But I figured she'd have the decency 2 pig out when she got home
Talk
Not here, right?
I mean U, U ever had a broad do that?
Ain't nothin' but a wang
Fuckin' pisses U off, am I right?
My girl's gone somewhere
Right, so I reaches over
I... I'm just cookin'
I took the fuckin' mashed potatoes and I threw 'em al over that broad
Hey, hey, what's this?
That ain't all though, check this out
Hmm, let me call U back
The waiter sees what just happened
What the...
He's gonna be Mr. Macho, right
He comes over and says
"What U do that 4?"
"I'm sick of the changes U put me through?"
I said "What the fuck business is it of yours?
I'm payin' 4 these fuckin' potatoes
"All U think about is music?"
I'll do what the fuck I wanna do with'em!
Now bring me a fuckin' finger bowl!"
"I'm leavin' your NBA no ballin' ass?"
What happened?
I'll tell U what happened
Ain't that a bitch?
Here, gimme some of that meatball
This punk waiter, he think he's the hero type, right
Punk
He throws the finger bowl on my head

Mashed potatoes in my finger nails
And this broad's crackin' up

Gimme some water there
People leavin' the restaurant
She's laughin' so hard potatoes are flyin' off her head
Damn right I was mad!

That's the killer!
I was so mad I bought this joint
Fuckin' right
That's her over there, workin' the fuckin' cash register

So I said "Fuck it"
I robbed him, ha ha
With so much money on me, I figured I oughta hit Jannell's house
I knocked on her door, right?
I don't know what she was doin'
But I couldn't get no answer?
She was doin' some wrong shit
"Jannell!" I shouted, still no answer
I figured she was on the telephone or somethin'
So I walked around 2 the bathroom window
Pushed it up, climbed inside
Soon as I got inside, it hit me
Damn!
I don't know what it was but it hit me hard
"Uh"
Jannell's a Rican, U know?
And them beans and rice is a habit at Jannell's house, U know?
I grab my mouth, my nose and I just screamed
And then I ran
But Jannell's house is real messy and I hit somethin' and I fell
That somethin' was Jannell
I stepped on her bruised booty she got from stage diving
And it made her real mad so we went 2 rounds
Jannell can bob
She kicked my ass
Damn!
"Oh God"
So I left and I went 2 Glam Slam
And slammed a few Long Island's

Hallucination rain, hallucination rain
Find another vein, hallucination rain

I think this is gonna be the big one

One that's gonna make U look 4 the key 2 the door
That leads 2 the alley where we did the last one
This is gonna be fun

CHORUS

This is gonna be the good one
The one that makes all the books

Wait, wait a minute, what is this?

The endorphin machine
The only one of its kind
I don't know Captain, U better come check this out

And take a chunk of your ass!

Have mercy, uh
The exodus has begun

Polyvinyl acetate, new power soul
Guaranteed 2 stick 2 the roof of your Oldsmobile muthafucka

CHORUS
Long live the New Power!
Have mercy
Generation after generation, the soul will never die
Long live the New Power!
Have mercy
We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply

Polyvinyl acetate, new power soul
The exodus has begun
These are the names of the children of the sun
Pumpin' the love sign in the days of wild
Tearin' shit up with a vengeance and still they smile
Though their lives were made bitter with hard labor and no pay
These are the children that will come 2 save the day
The exodus has begun
Have mercy

CHORUS

La da da da, da da daaa
Sho do do do do doo
La da da da, da da daaa
Have mercy

Behold the children of the New Power
Are more and mightier than U
U that have scorned and held back the inevitable
Must now come 2 grips with the truth
All that is good in the eyes of heaven
Will rebuke your powder monkey ways
And let that same heaven have mercy
When the wrath of the sun knocks upon your gate

Have mercy
The exodus has begun
Uh, brothers and sisters
The exodus has begun
Uh

Just...
Just cause...

Just cause it's nasty it don't mean a thing

All that is good is nasty
All that is good, all that is good
All that is good in heaven
All that is good, all that is good
All that is good in heaven

Long live the new power!
Have mercy
Generation after generation, the soul will never die
The exodus has begun
Long live the new power!
Have mercy
We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply

Spatch cocks in black face offer us pennies
When it's millions and millions upon millions they reap
How in the world can we call ourselves equal
When their wages outweigh
When their wages outweigh the time that they keep?
And if they stood up and behaved like the humans they're supposed 2
As opposed 2 the way they are not
Then this New Power Soul would not be so soulful
And the water they're in would not be so hot
The exodus has begun

Have mercy
Uh
The exodus has begun
Now sing

Long live the New Power!
Brothers and sisters
Long live the New Power!

Come on
Uh
Have mercy
Play muthafuckas, uh
Have mercy
Yes muthafuckas, yes
The exodus has begun!
Have mercy
Yes muthafuckas, yes
The exodus has begun!
Have mercy

Oh yeah, U can sing
But what the fuck are U complainin' about baby?
Oh yeah, I will read your big ass
Cuz I think U're thinkin' about readin' me
And when the people ask U everywhere
Is that really all your hair?
Tell'em U don't tell a lie
Bald-headed son of a motherfuckin' housefly
And like George said
Get satisfied
Let's get satisfied, let's get satisfied
La da da da, da da daaa
Sho do do do do doo
La da da da, da da daaa
Whoo, yeah, yeah

Stop this muthafucker like we intend 2 finish, yeah
Mercy
A New Power
Oh, yeah
Shit, y'all can't fuck with me
La da da da, da da daaa, oh, oh
Oh
La da da da, da da daaa, oh, oh

Spatch cocks in black face offers us pennies
When there's millions and millions that they reap
Millions and millions that they reap
What the fuck is that about?
What the fuck is that about?
What the fuck is that shit about?
We don't play that muthafuckin' shit!
U think we got a muthafuckin' joystick up our ass or somethin'?
Fuck that!
I don't know what U thinkin' about
But the exodus has begun muthafuckas!
The exodus has begun
