Song Of The Day : Prince / Cause & Effect

i am here. where are you? 
ladies and gentlemen….. 

cause and effect 
hey, hey, hey 

if had the chance to do it all again 
i wouldn’t change a thing, except my next of kin 
there’s something on the tip of my tongue 
-got a taste for sin 
if you stamp your passport full of regret 
you have nothing to remember but a lot to forget 
leave no enemies, leave no debt 

made in the image of cause and effect 
to no other man am i the subject 
i am what i am because & effect 
cause & effect 
hey, hey, hey 

If i could talk to myself back then right now 
i’d say ‘son you might wanna, stick around 
something amazing is about to go down’ 
if i could leave myself just 1 little note 
one that husbands and fathers wrote 
it say ‘you need to be a superstar or grow up, 
but not both’ 

made in the image of cause and effect 
to no other man am i the subject 
i am what i am because & effect 
cause & effect 
hey, hey, he 

cause and effect 
ladies and gentlemen 
rock/roll rock/roll 

i am here. where are you? 
ooooh oooh. haha. hey eh heh oh hoh 

don’t let them say your paper’s worth more than gold 
i see a generation lay down before they get old 
and getting endlessly sold 
you need compassion for one another 
righter than wrong 
that’s what needs to be at the heart of every past 
and future soul song 

made in the image of cause and effect 
to no other man am i the subject 
i am what i am because & effect 
cause & effect 
hey, hey, he 

look at y’all. brains splattered 
all over…moneyapolis 

ladies and gentlemen 
rock/roll rock/roll
