Lyrics Xenophobia - Prince, the New Power Generation

Xenophobia

Welcome 2 the power of surrender
First things first
U must surrender your expectation
4 those of U expected 2 get your Purple Rain on
U in the wrong house
See, we’re not interested in what U know
But what U are willing 2 learn
Come on, y’all, uh!
Leave that blood alone
Don’t U know dead blood kills interferons
NPG, are U ready?
Come on now, ow!
We 'bout 2 get deep 2night y’all
And that’s the only way that we can rise up
Rainbow children, are U in here?
On the trombone, Mr. Greg Boyer
Warm it up, Greg, warm it up
Say Candy, what U think?
Candy, does he need a passport?
Can we let him stay?
I’ll have 2 search him first, that’s what
We loving it Greg, come on, y’all, whoo!
Say Maceo, they trying to describe funk
I don’t know if U can describe if it ain’t funky
Come on, Maceo, blow your horn
Y’all know who that is?
Act like U know
Say, «Maceo blow your horn» (Maceo blow your horn)
Maceo, Maceo (Maceo, Maceo)
Ow, yeah yeah
Yeah
Don’t hurt 'em, baby, don’t hurt 'em
Hold on, hold on, yeah, come on y’all
Yeah yeah
If U drove up here in a Little Red Corvette
U might be surprised at what U gon' get
Portland, can U hear me, 2night?
Yeah yeah
Whoo
On the keyboards, the Master, Renato Neto
Oh, now I know he’s gotta check his passport, whoo!
Let it rock
Ah, check it out
Yeah, watch me now
U’ve been randomly selected to be searched
Can I get any volunteers?
U must remove your shoes
We gon' get funky
On the drums, John Blackwell
Aw, U know we don’t mean nobody no good
I got a question 4 ya
Is it better 2 give or 2 receive (It's better 2 give)
Alright then, then give up your seat 2 this person back here in the back
Come here, sister in the red
I’ma call your bluff
Can she have your seat?
Alright
Is it better 2 be a leader or a follower?
Better 2 be a leader or a follower?
(A leader)
A leader?
2 bad
Who thinks it’s better 2 be a follower?
Follow me
Have a seat right there
I’ma play the guitar 4 U, alright?
Can I get U anything
U cool?
Aw yeah!
