Prince - Dead On It [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Riding in my Thunderbird on the freeway
I turned on my radio to hear some music play
I got a silly rapper talking silly shit instead
And the only good rapper is one that's dead on it

[Chorus 1]
Uh, Dead on it

[Chorus 2]
Shall we go back? (Yeah!)
Let's go

[Verse 2]
Negros from Brooklyn play the bass pretty good
But the ones from Minneapolis play it like it oughta should
A magnum fro is better when you got a poof on it
And the to and fro is funky when the grease is dead on it

[Chorus 1]
(Funky dead on it)
Uh, dead (on it) on it

[Chorus 2]
Shall we go back? Let's go

[Chorus 1]
They dead on it, wow

[Verse 3]
See the rapper's problem usually stem from being tone deaf
Pack the house then try to sing
There won't be no one left (ha ha) (on it)
Parking lot's on fire, brothers peeling out of the town
They say in disgust, they singing their guts
Rapping done let us down (down down)
You got to be dead... on it

[Chorus 1]
Dead on it

(Dead)

[Vesre 4]
All the sisters like it when you lick them on the knees
Don't believe me? (no)
Try it once then stop, they'll be begging
Please, please, please (please, please, please)
Shoo be doo wa, dead on it
What does that have to do with the funk?
Nothing, but who's paying the bills?
If you don't want to lick my knees, I'm sure your mama will

Uh, because we, because we, because we dead on it
De, de- de- de- de- de- de, dead on it, on it

[Chorus 3]]
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

[Verse 5]
My bed's a coffin, Dracula hasn't got shit on me
My nickname's Hell's-a-Popping, I'm badder than the Wicked Witch
I got a gold tooth, costs more than your house
I got a diamond ring on four fingers, each one the size of a mouse

[Chorus 1]
They dead, they dead on it, on it

[Chorus 3][x2]

[Verse 6]
Wait now, hang up, dial tone on the three
You know, you know, I'm busy, to scizzy
Can't nobody fuck with me

[Chorus 1]
Because I'm dead (on it, on it, on it)
On it
Shoo be doo wa wa, dead on it
Dead on it, on it, on it

[Outro]
Dang, dang, dang, dang, (dead on it) shoo be dang, dang, dang, dead on it
Dead, dead on it
