Born and raised in Minneapolis, Prince signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19, soon releasing the albums For You (1978) and Prince (1979). He went on to achieve critical success with the influential albums Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982). His sixth album, Purple Rain (1984), was recorded with his new backing band the Revolution, and was also the soundtrack to the film of the same name in which he starred. Purple Rain garnered continued success for Prince and was a major commercial achievement, spending six consecutive months atop the Billboard 200 chart. The soundtrack also won Prince the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. After disbanding the Revolution, Prince released the album Sign o' the Times (1987), widely hailed by critics as the greatest work of his career. In the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. in 1993, he changed his stage name to the unpronounceable symbol logo. Hollow circle above downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped symbol and then a short bar (known to fans as the "Love Symbol") and was often referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (or TAFKAP) or simply The Artist.
After signing with Arista Records in 1998, Prince reverted to his original name in 2000. Over the next decade, six of his albums entered the U.S. top 10 charts. In April 2016, at the age of 57, Prince died after accidentally overdosing on fentanyl at his Paisley Park home and recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He was a prolific musician who released 39 albums during his life, with a vast array of unreleased material left in a custom-built bank vault underneath his home after his death, including fully completed albums and over 50 finished music videos. He also released songs under multiple pseudonyms during his life, as well as writing songs that were made popular after being covered by other musicians, most notably "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor and "Manic Monday" by the Bangles. Estimates of the complete number of songs written by Prince range anywhere from 500 to well over 1,000. Released posthumously, his demo albums Piano and a Microphone 1983 (2018) and Originals (2019) both received critical acclaim.
Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time. His awards included the Grammy President's Merit Award, the American Music Awards for Achievement and of Merit, the Billboard Icon Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016, and was inducted twice into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022.

Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you wanna be friends but I'm tryna be more than that
I can leave my name on your body like a autograph
I be in the field, makin' plays like a quarterback
And tell your father that he not gon' get his daughter back
No, you ain't perfect but you worth it, that's a fact
First time I hit it, she was nervous, now she squirtin' on my lap, ayy
If she leave, best believe she comin' back 'cause
My love won't change as long as you feel the same
And if you feelin' pain, baby, I'ma take the blame
'Cause you not supposed to feel a way, I could make you feel a way
Know you said I changed but I'ma show you that I'm still the same
My love won't change as long as you feel the same
And if you feelin' pain, baby, I'ma take the blame
'Cause you not supposed to feel a way, I could make you feel a way
Know you said I changed but I'ma show you that I'm still the same
Your ex, he a piece of shit, I'll clap him like my pieces hit
Nowadays these niggas snitchin', I watch who I'm speakin' with
Sometimes I get nasty off that Henny when I'm drinkin' it
I could tell you want me, you ain't say it but you thinkin' it, ayy
Sometimes it be hard to express all these emotions
Promise you I'll never break your heart and leave you hopeless
You already wet, and I ain't get a lot of strokes in
Rubbin' on my waves, I'll let you swim inside my ocean
After round four, I'ma rub you down in lotion
Put it in her mouth and took it out 'cause she was chokin'
Told you it was big, you brushed me off like I was jokin'
You still my baby and you know this
(You still my baby and you know this)
(You still my baby and you know this)
My love won't change as long as you feel the same
And if you feelin' pain, baby, I'ma take the blame
'Cause you not supposed to feel a way, I could make you feel a way
Know you said I changed but I'ma show you that I'm still the same
