Xenophobia Lyrics - Prince

Welcome to the power of surrender 

First things first 

You must surrender your expectation 

For those of you expected to get your 'Purple Rain' on 

You in the wrong house 

See, we're not interested in what you know 

But what you are willing to learn 

Come on, y'all, uh, leave that blood alone 

Don't you know dead blood kills interferons? 

NPG, are you ready? Come on now, ow 

We 'bout to get deep tonight, y'all 

And that's the only way that we can rise up 

Rainbow children, are you in here? 

On the trombone, Mr. Greg Boyer 

Warm it up, Greg, warm it up

Say Candy, what you think? 

Candy, does he need a passport? 

Can we let him stay? 

I'll have to search him first, that's what 

We loving it Greg, come on, y'all, whoo 

Say Maceo, they trying to describe funk 

I don't know if you can describe if it ain't funky 

Come on, Maceo, blow your horn 

Y'all know who that is? Act like you know 

Say, "Maceo blow your horn" 

(Maceo blow your horn) 

(Maceo blow your horn) 

(Maceo blow your horn) 

Maceo, Maceo 

(Maceo, Maceo) 

Ow, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Don't hurt 'em, baby, don't hurt 'em 

Hold on, hold on, yeah, come on, y'all 

Yeah yeah

If you drove up here in a 'Little Red Corvette' 

You might be surprised at what you gon' get 

Portland, can you hear me, tonight? 

Yeah, yeah, whoo 

On the keyboards, the master, Renato Neto 

Oh, now I know he's gotta check his passport, whoo 

Let it rock, ah, check it out 

Yeah, watch me now 

You've been randomly selected to be searched 

Can I get any volunteers? 

You must remove your shoes 

We gon' get funky, on the drums, John Blackwell 

Aw, you know we don't mean nobody no good 

1, 2, 1, 2, 3 

I got a question for ya 

Is it better to give or to receive? 

(It's better to give) 

Alright then, then give up your seat 

To this person back here in the back 

Come here, sister in the red 

I'ma call your bluff 

Can she have your seat? Alright 

Is it better to be a leader or a follower? 

Better to be a leader or a follower? 

(A leader) 

A leader? Too bad 

Who thinks it's better to be a follower? 

You? Follow me, have a seat right there 

I'ma play the guitar for you, alright? 

Can I get you anything? 

Can I get you anything? You cool?
