Like most ppl, I been feelin nostalgic & listening to some old Prince joints. But I was real young (5 or 6) when the Purple Rain album&movie came out, so I really only knew the chorus lines of most of those songs.

I especially wanted to listen to 'Let's go Crazy' cuz the opening line of that song been posted all over social media since he died.
'Let's go Crazy' is almost entirely about death & 'the after life' which I never realized, but I ain't think much of it cus artists do sh$t like that sometimes. BUT WTF did he make repeated references to
'the Elevator' :damn:


* No I am not 1 of deez ppl that stay makin' up conspiracies errtime somebody dies. But listening 2 these lyrics had me kinda shook


Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today

To get through this thing called life

Electric word life

It means forever and that's a mighty long time


But I'm here to tell you

There's something else

The after world
A world of never ending happiness


You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills

You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left

Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cause in this life

Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life

You're on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down

Go crazy, punch a higher floor :damn:


If you don't like the world you're living in

Take a look around you

At least you got friends


You see I called my old lady

For a friendly word

She picked up the phone

Dropped it on the floor
(Ah, ah) is all I heard

Are we gonna let the elevator

Bring us down

Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy

Let's get nuts

Let's look for the purple banana

'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!


We're all excited

But we don't know why

Maybe it's 'cause

We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)

What's it all for (What's it all for)

You better live now

Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down

Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy

Let's get nuts

Look for the purple banana

'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

C'mon baby
Let's get nuts

Yeah

Crazy
Let's go crazy

Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down

Oh, no let's go!

Go crazy
I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)

Let's go, let's go

Go

Let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright

Will make everything go wrong

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill


Hang tough children

He's coming

He's coming

Coming
Take me away!

now that the drug dealer came out and spoke on everything nothing matches up ... it is a complete coverup if you look at every side of the story ... regardless of what is true and what isnt ... he lied with proof against his words in the whole interview. He says Prince would buy 6 months supplies of drugs, but then says "he was severely addicted" but he wasnt there to see his drug intake so how would he know that? And he said Prince would use him because he had a phobia of doctors, then at the end of the interview he blames doctors for killing him? How would that be possible if it completely contradicts his last statement? AND to go with the "Prince didnt go to doctors shyt" The picture of him leaving walgreens clearly states "Prince was a regular at the pharmacy" it only got worse the past few weeks (which he was sick for) Now hes cremated already secretly? I aint buying it ... if the music in the vault is magically all ready ... or they have no hassell putting shyt out within the next year then this shyt is complete bullshyt. All you have to do is read every single side of the story and connect the dots and see who is stretching the truth
