Born 2 Die
Prince Lyrics

Here she comes
Here comes a woman who is rebellious and daring

She's a bad girl
She is unapologetically independent and breaks societal norms

She gets you high
Her presence and energy elevate your spirits

Born to die, born to die
She feels destined for a life of both highs and lows

She sells everything, from A to Z
She engages in various activities to maintain her freedom

Anything just to keep her free from the
She does whatever it takes to avoid the constraints of society

From the hustle of the streets (oh yeah)
She escapes the chaotic and demanding nature of street life

She left the church a long time ago
She stopped following traditional religious teachings

Said they couldn't teach what they did not know
She criticized the church for lacking true spiritual wisdom

That's when she lost her virginity
That's when she became aware of her own desires and autonomy

And now she's pimpin' every bottle
She is exploiting every opportunity to make a living

From New York to L.A (L.A)
She is capitalizing on opportunities from coast to coast

Ask her why she'd do that thing
Question her motivations for her chosen path

She says it's always been that way (always been that way)
She believes her circumstances have always pushed her in this direction

Jump back Jack, you might be next if they try to cut mama's cake
Beware, because if someone messes with her source of income, they might face consequences

(What the deal, Daddy?)
Asking for clarification from someone in authority or with experience

And ask her what the deal is, this is what she said
Inquire about her perspective and this is her response

Born to die, born to die
She feels fated to face the inevitable cycle of highs and lows in life

If you ain't livin' right, you know you're
If you're not making the right choices, you are aware of the consequences

Better watch out
It's important to be cautious and mindful

Get ya, get ya, so high, so high
She wants to elevate herself through her actions

You know, everybody's getting (so high)
She notices everyone seeking their own highs in life

I gotta get my hustle on
She needs to continue working hard to survive in her circumstances

She runs six streets in Oakland
She controls and manages multiple territories in Oakland

Clear down to the 'Frisco bay (ooh)
She extends her influence from Oakland to San Francisco Bay

Why she concerned, crime does pay
She understands the allure of illegal activities and the financial benefits

Ask her when, she'd say 'From the first day'
She has been involved in a life of crime since the beginning

Once you bend the knees to get back to the truth
When you surrender and humble yourself, you find your true essence

Of who we are, before we go astray (who we are, before we go astray)
Remembering our true selves before we deviate from our path

Ask her what the deal is (what the deal, daddy?)
Seeking clarification once again

This is what she'll say
And this is her response

They said nothing good happens after midnight
There is a belief that only negative events occur late at night

(Bye bye)
Expressing farewell or goodbye

(Oh, yeah)
An exclamation of agreement or affirmation

(Ooh)
A vocalization of intrigue or excitement

(Born to die)
An acknowledgment of the inevitable cycle of life and death

(Get ya, get ya)

Indicating the desire to continuously elevate oneself

So, so high (so high)
Repeating the previous emphasis on being in an elevated state

So, so high (so)
Stressing the height of one's achievements and aspirations

So, so high (so)
Continuing to emphasize the height of one's accomplishments
