Prince teamed up with NPG rapper Tony M. for this braggadocio funk-rap track in which he boasts about his musical prowess. My name is Prince, I don't wanna be king Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream Tony M recalled to Uncut: "Stuff like, you must become a prince before your king anyway, those were direct shots over the bow at Michael Jackson.
