1999

Because Prince and his song were cool once upon a time.
Note that this is another by Clem Dogg, the mid-90's rapper.



“1999” (feat. Prince)


The dresser drawer won’t close
I suppose that’s how it can be
She packs her case with clothes
And she heads into the street

The wind is blowing fiercely
She leans her body into it
The squeal of the tires is piercing
I didn’t think she’d do it

Her body twists and flies
The car just speeds on by
I watch her as she dies
Clothes float down from the sky

I’d expect the sky to be grey
But it’s clear and bright and blue
This is just another day
Another day we’ll die too

Your life can quickly pass
So here’s advice you need to know
If you have uncomfortable gas
You need to just let it go (ow!)

And when you are at work
It’s not cool to wear a sweater
Disrespected by some jerk?
Cuss up a storm and you’ll feel better (dang!)

Cut in line – no need to wait
I know you’ve been refraining
And never underestimate
The power of complaining (oooh baby, baby)

Eat whatever you can
Getting fat is half the fun (tubby)
Try to follow the plan
Looking out for number one

Don’t forget to betray your lover
Obviously have plenty of sex
When no money is left over (no mo’ money)
Write a bunch of bad checks

Now that you’re living you will hardly
Notice the passing time
And lastly you had better party
Like it’s nineteen-ninety-nine
