Prince - Chelsea Rodgers Lyrics






A model....... Used to be a role model

I dunno
Come on Chelsea!
I dunno
Come on (Uh-huh)

Ah, go ahead now Chelsea! Go ahead now!
Uh, this for Jersey right here.
Go ahead now!
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Chorus:]
Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Thought she really rocked the road, yes she did
Kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out to save her soul

Ask her what she liked the most
She said, she liked to talk to Jimi's ghost, Ow!
Fantasy, her friends boast (This girl is fly)
Chelsea's fly, like coast to coast (Mmmm)
Hollywood or Times Square
If the party's fly, my girl is there (yes she is)
Purple's on and bounce in her hair
21st Century hippy, Chelsea don't care

[Chorus]

Try to catch her if you can (Come on now together)
You never see her with my man (Uh, a brother got to jump n the water)
He must be baptized, according to the masterplan,
'Fore she give up the good thang
Go ahead Chelsea! (Go ahead Chelsea!)

No cut diamonds, and designer shoes (Uh, no-no!)
'Cause she's too original from her head down to her feet
(Rehab) (If you want to) (just don't mean no me)
Chelsea don't eat no meat, still got butt like a leather seat
Go ahead Chelsea! (Go ahead Chelsea!)

[Chorus]

Go ahead Chelsea!
(Speak on that horn)

Come on
Next to her they just a fool.
Chelsea read more books than a few
Moses was a Pharoah in the 18th Dynasty
And Rome was chillin' in Carthage in 33 BCE
And the day that we stop counting, we live as long as a tree
Go ahead Chelsea, teach me! Go ahead Chelsea.

Make a promise to your higher self, get you nothing, fame and wealth
You don't be chasing nobodies ghost.
Of everything, make the most (Come on!)

[Chorus x2]

    F.... R....

    PrinceVault seems to put the matter to rest, stating that "the song is inspired by and written about model and clothing designer Chelsea Rodgers." Someone with the same name had a bio page at Models.com. The Telegraph also specifically mentioned "Prince's new girlfriend, the model Chelsea Rodgers" accompanying the singer to Fashion Week 2007 in London.

  24. N.... N....

    Ich vermisse dich 💘

  25. M.... M....

    Love this video! The styles and stage set up are great! I really liked this song from the moment I first heard. It's so very Princely, with the choppy guitar riffs, and horns. Miss him everyday!

  30. C.... ....

    I miss him!

  31. a.... w....

    is it my imagination or is the beautiful woman sitting on Prince's right the one with the blinding ring on her finger 2:16 & 2:31 she is the same female in the black and white video. Looking at the ring on home girl's finger make me wonder - was she and the purple one married secretly??? Prince was and still is a man of many mysterious secrets.

  32. a.... w....

    I love that bass line throughout the song - Prince is the only dude I know that can wear female type high heel shoes & still be strongly masculine. Folks often made fun of his height but admired his taste in clothes and had an even more jealous admiration for his taste in women also. I can't front I was and still am one of those guys. HA HA HA HA. I always though this Chelsea Rodgers song was an actual real person like the song Billy Jack Bitch - many people know who that song was directed towards. Some female if my memory fails me who wrote something Prince didn't take too kindly and blasted her quite severely in a song. The one thing you don't want an artist of his caliber to do. Because gifted singer songwriters when they attack back they can and have been known to leave quite a stinging long lasting lingering effect on those who they criticize back in song. I just did all the research I can do on this song and not one of those who've written an article about this song has said that this Chelsea Rodgers woman is real. Though she does sound like she could be though. But Prince is a rather clever guy who for years or should I say decades hid under many disguised names - like Jamie Starr - Alexnevermind just to name a few. For all we know this Chelsea Rodgers could be another one of this personal creations.

  33. e.... ....

    Prince was the coolest cat on the catwalk.

  34. m.... ....

    💖💖💖Favolosooo

  35. K.... R....

    Prince sung about everything even things that some people would consider taboo. That's what makes a true genius. He wasn't afraid to go there and go there he did. He also had a keen eye for good talent. Shelby J sounds wonderful.

    The Purple 1 💜💜💜

  39. J.... B....

    HOW IN THE WORLD IS A BUTT
    LIKE A WHAT EVER HE IS SING GOING TO TEACH HIM ANYTHING.
    PRINCE SHOULD HAVE LIVED HIS
    TALK BUT THRU CHRIST.
    LARRY CHANGED HIS LOVE OF THANKING CHRIST TO THANKING SOMEONE WHO GAVE
    ORDERS THAT WE SHOULD TALK
    TO HIM THRU HIS WORD CHRIST.
    THAT I HOPE IS WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN CHRIST HAS
    TAUGHT HIM. CHRIST 1ST.
    LITTLE GIRLS WANT A GET
    PAID.

  40. T.... K....

    Now, dammit, I need to own some CR!

  41. G.... L....

    Es un Angeeeeel

  42. S.... B....

    He was one sexy 👨

  43. P.... A....

    Prince Vilolet,la classe,homme d'affaires et genie de la musique!!!!

  44. C.... N....

    Did you know....
    That in the making of this song...
    Few musical artists have enough cachet in the fashion world to be able to take over London Fashion Week and use it as a backdrop for one of their music videos. But Prince did just that in 2007 when he shot the video for “Chelsea Rodgers,” a track from his 2007 album Planet Earth that he wrote about a mysterious former model turned “21st century hippie.”

    The lyrics for the song are a sharp contrast to the high-fashion glitz and glamour of London Fashion Week, with Prince singing about leaving the modeling world behind in pursuit of spirituality. The verses are a reflection of Prince’s ongoing relationship with the Jehovah’s Witness faith and his ever-evolving understanding of his own spirituality and beliefs, with references to vegetarianism and forgoing the celebration of anniversaries and birthdays. “The day that we stop counting, we live as long as a tree,” he sings. “Go ahead Chelsea, teach me!” 💜💜💜 Genius!

  45. S.... G....

    I love it when he stands up and everyone starts to cheer in awe of him. Man, I miss him so much. Nothing hurts more than this.

  46. L.... V....

    it never will be a london fashion week like with PRINCE

  47. K.... R....

    Prince was one of a kind. No subject was taboo for him. There will never be another like him.

  48. b.... ....

    Planet Earth was such an underrated album. Love this song and vid!

  49. L.... T....

    🇫🇷🎧🎶💘🎸♀️☮️❣️

  50. b.... s....

    Yeeh, Amazing !!

  51. A.... ....

    I never before this day knew there was an official video for this song.
    Very cool.

  52. h.... k....

    Prince eh am just about to watch The Happy Prince at 6am on sky arts channel wonder if its about thw singer or the prince

  53. A.... ....

    Cooler than a fan. I Love you Prince.

  54. C.... D....

    BTW- This man supported women like crazy, before it was popular to do so!!

  55. C.... D....

    I believe this man will grow in popularity as time goes by - knowing how to play 20+ instruments and learning all on his own through hardship-- entertainment and stamina through the roof!!!  I saw him before purple rain, and never saw any other concert like it- I saw David Bowie, Rolling Stones, etc...  I loved them all- but Prince won the entertainment category by miles.

  56. s.... s....

    Read more books than a few ha ha

  57. L.... C....

    Prince is and always will be the man...he has always been able to recreate himself and pop back up strong...movies...music...videos...live shows.
    RIP PRINCE 🙏

    L.... C....

    Amen!!!

    L.... C....

    @andrea raimey thanks for the reply👍🙏

    Do you have a moment to discuss those sunnies, the suit, the topper, the gun mic and that stomp down the runway? Prince embodied cool in ways never conceived. He was short they say. Where? How?

  91. M.... C....

    "Prince is literally the coolest person to ever live. Look it up." and this was such an undercover tune that NO ONE has ever heard - Bless Up

    No one needs to look that up the man is was a complete and total legend
