@bogueji1 What's happening in the video is a symptom of what Prince is singing about however the video trivializes the over all message of the lyrics ,because it sucks a person into a false sense of the over all point. In my humble opinion. Lots of things can be interpreted in different ways but ultimately there is one truth. What is the over all truth of the song?
Thats why i said it's the beauty of the song, Ultimately there is "One Truth" in this case he is the only person who knows the true meaning behind his words. All me and you can do is give our interpretation of what it might mean, :)
@MrKenndawg "Upload, the evolution principal You see a rock on the shore and say it's always been there" Download,no responsibility Do what you want nobody cares"......A direct rejection of the atheist idea. "The one in power makes law under which the colonized fall But without God it's just the blind leading the blind"....the solution,being led by God the only way to fix every problem. Those two verses are why this song was written. This video conveys something else entirely.
@chestveeg ...if you look, you're sure gonna find...throughout mankind's history=a colonized mind. One in power makes law...underwhich colonized fall; without God, it's just the blind leadin' tha blind!! (thus, the video...and thus, the meaning of the Artist's messasge)....i think:)?
Part 3. Upload: a child with no father Download: no respect 4 authority Upload: a child with no mother Download: a hard time showing love If you look, ur sure gonna find Thruout mankind's history A colonized mind The one in power makes laws Under which the colonized fall But without god It's just the blind leading the blind
Part 1. Upload: the evolution principal U c a rock on the shore and say "it's always been there" Download: no responsibility Do what you want nobody cares Upload: the master race idea Genetically disposed 2 rule the world
Download: a future full of isolated Full of isolated boys and girls

It is plain to see by anyone who is observant that the USA and the entire world has very big problems. For humanity to arrive at effective solutions, it is going to require that we the people become increasingly open minded, and open to new ideas and different perspectives.

Let's become the change we want to see in the world. Let's become the transition. Let's become the revolution !!!
all of ur opinions were just that. If u ask 10 people 2 watch the same tv show then explain it, u will get basically the same 10 responses. If u give 10 people the same book 2 read, and tell them 2 explain, u will get 10 different responses, because they interpreted it differently. This song is deep, yes, and it has multiple (as far as the public is concerned) meanings.... I cannot divulge, sorry. So continue 2 enjoy, and see a show, when it comes 2 ur town.peace and. welcome 2 the dawn.
The video completely misses what the song is about. It's more about the planet as a whole being like a giant beehive. Cause and effect , Satan and sins effect on the world as a whole without mankind following Jesus Christ we are all lost. The race thing is such a small part of the bigger meaning of the song.
@hempmomma You say that as if this is your music. I think Prince would disagree. Thank you Prince for creating this beautiful art. I bought the album and enjoy this song thanks to Prince. You should be thanking Prince.
@lisadillwill No, I'm black . I just know the Lord Jesus. Also I have owned the song for a long time. I know the song for what it is. And your influenced by what you see not what you hear.
@chestveeg I think you are 100% correct. Certainly in art, different people see or hear different things, but the message is not about black vs white or rich vs poor. It is about the trick that satan has commited getting people to believe that the world's problems are about social issues. Keep people focused on black and white, and they will miss the real issue - Jesus.
@chestveeg I disagree...I think this video represents what this song is about. The colonization of our minds began a long time ago and we are seeing the effects of it today, more than ever.

I would love to meet him, I have this cd as well and I never really listened to this song.. but it almost makes me want to bump this song at my school and convey the message he does in this song.. I'm a poet so this is beautiful to me.
@Edog2345 i would love to meet Prince as well. He is such an inspiration. Thank you for your comments. I felt the need to put images with the words of this very strong song. Eye am glad that you have received it well.
love his Guitar playing....true Artist.
