Days of Wild

About Days of Wild

"Days of Wild" is a song by Prince and The New Power Generation, first commercially released in 1998 on the triple-album Crystal Ball and then later as a digital single in 2002. It was written by Prince in early 1994 after his name change to an unpronounceable symbol. The song is regarded as one of Prince's first legitimate successes at rapping and is both an ode to and criticism of gangsta rap. Strong language and cursing is used throughout the track, but it ultimately elevates women with lyrics such as "A woman everyday should be thanked, not disrespected, not raped or spanked". "Days of Wild" is pure funk, relying heavily on bass guitar as well as the organ and samplers to create an infectious groove. "Days of Wild" was premiered live in concert in February 1994 along with other new material to promote Prince's new on-stage persona, performing all new material. Shortly thereafter, the studio version of this song and others were played as a promotion on European radio stations and began circulating among collectors. "Days of Wild" became a crowd favorite at concerts, despite it never being officially released. The song was originally to be released on 1995's The Gold Experience but ended up being pulled for unknown reasons. Comments by Prince and associates suggest that he may have simply been dissatisfied with the studio version, which pales in comparison to live performances. more »

(Hold... hold... hold onto your wits!) 

Break down 
This is a bust (Hold onto your wits!) 
All you sorry motherfuckers up against the wall 
If you don't play, bite the dust 
Cause in a couple of simple fuckin' phrases 
I'm gonna hip you to the fuckin' place of 
The brand new mad style, uh 
Cause these are the days of wild - hit me!

[Repeat: 2X] 
(Hold onto your wits!)  

Pop guns and weed? 
Brother please! 
We're to wise for now, since the other 90's was better suited for that biz
Back when Dick was fuckin' Liz 
Before soda pop had fizz 
Don't blame it on a jockstrap full of jizz 
Mentality so insane 
I got a Tech-9 to and it's called my brain 
Shoot another brother? Not today 
Death from envy is the only way 
Here I can tear shit up 'cause that's my style 
And these are the days of wild - hit me! (Hold onto your wits!) 
These are the days of wild (Hold onto your wits!) 
These are the days of wild 

Hooker, bitch and ho, I don't think so 
I only knew one and never told her though 
I thought about many times (Diss me?) 
But that's the kind of shit that make you check your mind 
Is your blood type the type that flows 
Or is your blood type the type just stereo? 
A woman every day should be thanked 
Not disrespected, not raped or spanked 
And if a woman ever said I did 
Uh, she's a motherfuckin' liar and I'm a set-up kid 
And I can tear shit up y'all 'cause that's my style 
And these are the days of wild - hit me! (Hold onto your wits!) 
These are the days of wild (Hold onto your wits!) 

Oh oh oh, by the way, I play guitar! 

Tennis shoes and caps, now that's phat 
Up until the day another want to laugh behind your back 
Sayin' we all look the same, huh 
God bless America, home of the brave 
I'd rather dress to make a woman stare 
I'm puttin' on somethin' that another won't dare 
It's a freezer burn compared to cool 
And if you still got loot, then who's the fool? 
Everybody want to take the stand 
Mind your own motherfucker, let a man be a man 
I can tear shit up y'all 'cause that's my style 
And these are the days of wild - hit me! (Hold onto your wits!) 
These are the days of wild - hit me! (Hold onto your wits!) 
These are the days of wild - hit me! 

Much props to the upside down double six 
Baddest, freezer burnin', head turnin', make a brother yearnin',
Sister walkin' the face 
You know who you are 
For love 

[Repeat: 2X]
(Hold onto your wits!) 

[Repeat to fade]
Hit me!
