Family Name (Live from One Nite Alone Tour 2002) Lyrics by Prince and the New Power Generation

One Nite Alone... Live!

2002

Tell the truth y'all
Gotta, gotta tell the truth
Tell the truth y'all
Got to, got to tell the truth
You wanna talk about family names tonight
Excuse me, sir, what's your family name?
It's not bad, we gon' change your name tonight
Your new name is Blackburn
You're cool with that?
Uhh, what's your name madam? (Rebecca)
And what's your last name, Rebecca?
Oh, we gon' give you new name tonight, Rebecca
Outlaw, Rebecca Outlaw
What's your name?
We gon' change your name to uh, Lynch
Work wit it
Clap your hands y'all
Uh, clap your hands
Oh Lord
Talkin' about family names tonight
If you wanna go higher, then we got to get deep
If you wanna go higher, then we got to get deep
Portland, you still with me tonight?
Mirror, mirror what you see?
Have I still got those dark clouds over me?
Or am I still feeling what I feel?
The last days of the Devil's deal
Oh, mirror, what you see?
Devil, devil, what you know?
You been here since 1914 but now you got to go
You been hiding behind corporate eyes
You want to war but you can't fight
Oh, devil, devil, you got to go
Bridge
You might say, "What you mad about?"
But you still got your family name
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Rosenbloom
I'll be John Blackwell just the same
What's your family name?
Talk to me
Teacher, teacher what you say?
Did we really come over in a boat?
Did it really go down that way?
Or did I arrive before you, ruin Thanksgiving Day?
Oh, teacher, what you say?
Preacher, preacher, is it true
That Jesus wants me to give my money to the likes of you?
Ride around in your Lexus Coupe
Drive us to the cleaners in a pinstripe suit
Oh, preacher, that ain't truth
Watch me now, bridge
You might say, "What you mad about?
But you still got your family name
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Pearlman
You can call me Cassius Clay
Can I play?
What your family name?
Anybody get the game?
Watch it
Make a sound, Violet Brown
You might say, "What you mad about?
You still got your Family name
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Goldstruck
We found this tape in the Akashic records
This is Thomas Jefferson
My fellow Americans, yes I own slaves too
And if there is a just God
We're going to pay for this
Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles
Protestants and Catholics
We'll be able to join hands in the words of the old Negro spiritual
Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last
