Flash forward, 2045
What did you stand for in the life of your pride
When faced with the final judgment of today
Couldn't profit from the game
That you and your niggas play
Radical man
Save the life

The brand new currency
Taking care of one another
You and me

Flash backwards, 1999 (backwards, 1999)
In a world shot full of profit, see (Tell me)
How'd y'all stay alive? (Everyone of y'all)
Depending on this so called man
For everything you got comes from his hand
Food, water, the clothes you wear
How many of y'all niggas really care?
To care (to care)
Let's define this word nigga (define, define)
Someone who stays high (high)
Watching their life go by (by, by)
Someone content with riding behind (ride that)
Nigga
They come in all colors
White, black, Puerto Rican
Is that the main niggas we're speakin' about?
Wear suits and buy and sell corporations
With only one thing in mind
(Only one thing in mind)(Break it up!)
That is the destruction of the so called radical man
By 2045

Get an education, good job who says? (say)
Fool with the gold rush drinkin' Alize
I don't play nobody that's makin' no sense today
You got your own mind, so you think it's ok (It's not ok)
Telling themselves lies, Mos Def say
Where you gonna stay, nigga
(Where you gonna stay nigga)
(Oh my God, it's the Green Mile!)
What's up y'all?
What y'all wanna do? (Talkin' about a radical man)
Ain't nobody ever lay crew no?
I could really run that computer
Make it flow (flow flow flow flow flow)
If you ain't born with it (Radical man)
Talkin' about the two and four, hit me!
Wait up
What George say., all around
Alright
We play Miles Davis, and D'Angelo
We playin' D flat in the funk
You better act like you know
We don't care, whatever unknown
I'd rather know, rather know (what?)
How to be a better man
Hey!
James Brown, Chuck D. and Jimmy
Turn me up louder now
I don't think y'all hear me (I hear ya)
2045
We will stay alive
2045 (everybody now)
The flow is out of site
And the whole pop scenario is just nothin' but a dream
(A bad dream)
The day you will wake is the day you get the real cream, nigga
Radical man (Radical man)
Who got the gift, who got the plan?
Radical man (Radical man)
Who got the gift, who got the plan?
This is the funk the industry most fears
Artists getting together
In a locker board of directors
I don't think so
Nobody's running this
Let's talk about DNA, nigga
The radical man
Spoken with crowd cheering in background
Where will you be in 2045?
30 million people right now, are being wiped off the face of the planet by disease.
They claim they have no cure.
In the matter of a blinking eye, all of us right now can testify.
Take a stand, radical man.
Prince, nome d'arte di Prince Rogers Nelson (Minneapolis, 7 giugno 1958), è un cantautore, chitarrista, attore, regista e produttore discografico statunitense, molto popolare soprattutto negli anni ottanta e novanta.
