Brother With A Purpose Lyrics - Prince

{B-side of N.P.G.} 

MC T on a hit and to make sure I don't miss, 

kick the beat as this fool persists 

Step off me, get the hell off, well I'm riding 

Flowing with this funky beat, you suckers keep on tryin'a 

diss this, uh-uh, I ain't having it 

Sucker duck, understand my schedule work too heavy 

I'm a man, I mean, sometimes it seems hammer claim 

but I can still cop a lean and explain to you 

an MC who's got beef, I'm giving grief to disbelief 

You said that I was new to this well put me on your hit list 

I'm 'quipped to rule, and I squash all the bull 

We got our own ideas! 

We got our own ideas! 

yeah

Antogonistic action, it's just a fraction 

of what I feel for you, I'll take my time in a rhyme 

Yo, let's bust a move, I'm steppin' with confidence 

yes I know it's evident, a backseat to you that's irrelevant 

you see it's like this, you shot and missed, and now it's my turn 

you learn, you mess with the fire, you burn. and it's a heat up 

situation sticky 

You're the duck, huh, I won't be picky, I'm bassin' 

you're chasing a dream that I'm livin' 

you stupid pigeon, cause even with the high flow, I keep a low pro 

you step off on me, and that's a sho' nuff n.o. 

I mean a no-go 

yeah, something like that 

We got our own ideas! (yeah, yeah) 

We got our own ideas! (yeah, yeah) 

Fuck it, you're tryin' to step on my tip, yeah

{on top of a slow NPG chorus:} 

I'm a brother with a purpose (pump it up, T) 

so I'll take my time and serve this right 

despite the negativity, 

never want society to get the best of me 

you sold out, just another fool, holdin' out 

on the pockets of my brothers tryin' to get clout 

step back, cast the vapors, your vision's blurred, check out my behaviour 

calm, cool, never sweat the issue (so what you're saying?) 

What I'm saying is that we're past due 

gotta stand up and be counted, can't you see the trouble keeps mountin', boy 

And I won't stand for it, so get off 

cause I'm about to have a fit 

you can't step unless you step legit 

Enough talk y'all, this is it, let's get ill with this 

yeah, yeah 

Suckers are trying to step off on my tip 

We got our own ideas! 

Suckers are trying to step off on my tip 

We got our own ideas! 

Suckers are trying to step off on my tip 

We got our own ideas! 

Suckers are trying to step off on my tip 

As I roast, you toast - can't stand the heat of the aftermath 

The worst you ran with you dis just to get a laugh 

the brother you ridiculed, 

they say you're the king of rules 

yeah, time for school, time for walking, 

I'm stalking, you're talking 

as you run your mouth down, I'm chalking up another way of 

gettin' paid in dividends 

in the end, my friend, its just a verbal blend 

yeah, get with that 

What's up? 

We got our own ideas! (yeah) 

What's up? 

We got our own ideas! (yeah) 

Brothers be jocking, freaks keep clocking 

Brothers be jocking, skeezers are clocking 

We got our own ideas! 

Skeezers be on my tip (yeah) 

trying to get with this 

We got our own ideas! 

Skeezers be on my tip (yeah) 

trying to get with this 

Skeezers be on my tip (yeah) 

trying to get with this 

Skeezers be on my tip (yeah) 

We got our own ideas! 

trying to get to this 

clocking, I got my own ideas, 

and they ain't got nothing to do with what's in here 

see ya next year, 91, in full effect 

I'm getting ign'ant 

(yeah, yeah) 

We got our own ideas! (yeah, yeah)
