Da, Da, Da Lyrics - Prince

Da, da, da, da 

Da, da, da, da, da 

(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") 

{sample repeated in song} 

Yeah 

It's like rolling in a Bronco pumpin' them pumps 

U know what I'm sayin'? 

On Broadway or somethin', U know what I'm sayin'? 

Yo yo, straight up 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Hey yo, call the paddywagon, I've seen a black boy cash stackin' 

Smirk on my face screamin', "Fuck the Grand Dragon" 

4 the fast cash, we be thinkin' 2 slow 

Clownin' each others on the damn talk shows 

I don't wanna house but I gotta stick and rob 

I got a disease, it's called "Can't find a job" 

Smokin' on the herbs help me see a little better 

Lookin' 4 a job in this cold ass weather

Watch out, I'm tryin' 2 get my shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Yeah - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin') 

It's been kinda lonely (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da) 

(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin') 

Hey yo, as soon as I come home, I'm stressed by my mama 

Questionin' my whereabouts like I'm the Unabomber 

Question mark, comma, freeze all the drama 

Intensive care flows 4 all U hos smacked with trauma 

As I sit back with my blunt and gin 

Grab a pen, write a song about a million black men 

Tryin' 2 blame all this violence on gangs 

What about those fools who kill 4 nothin' and hijack planes? 

(Let me hear U...)

Get your shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin') 

Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da) 

(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin') 

Yo, I'm goin' 4 the gold like a olympic sprinter 

Fuck the bullshit, steaks 4 dinner this winter 

Yo, I've seen a murder scene that left a fool scarred 

Plus I saw a prisonyard way before a schoolyard 

Time's rough plus time's runnin' out 

My mom said if I trip one more time, I'm gettin' kicked out 

And I ain't tryin' 2 make excuses 

But lookin' 4 a job in the ghetto is fuckin' useless (Let me hear U sing) 

Get your shit 2gether, straight up (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Yeah, uh - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

(Let me hear U sing) 

Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Ask yourself your destination 

What the source of your inspiration be 

And U will find a spirit tryin' 2 get back 2 the mind 

How U was in your mama's belly 

Live and let live was the order of the day 

What U say? 

Loving one another is the only way! 

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da 

If U believe in one thing, if U believe in 2 things 

(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 

If U believe in anything then let me hear U sing 

"Da, da, da, da, da, da, da" 

Keep on believin' (Da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Lord 

(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life")
