The only way Baltimore will achieve “peace” is to Rally For Liberty.

“Rally 4 Peace”

Typical of liberals -- using "4" instead of the correct the "for". It's more proof that leftists are illiterate. Conservatives use standard English properly.

Using numbers has been Princes’ way for a long time.
He wrote a song “Nothing Compares 2 U”, which became Sinead O’Connor’s biggest hit in this country back in 1989.
Prince claims to have never been happy with how she sang that song. Most say he probably wishes he had released it himself. Now the song is mostly identified with Sinead, not him.

He's been wrong for a long time in his misuse of the language. Recall that pedophile Michael Jackson corrupted English by using "bad" as a synonym for "good". These leftist "musicians" care nothing for what made America great.

Previously, Prince did a song called “Cinnamon Girl”, which is unrelated to the Neil Young song. It is about a Muslim schoolgirl, portrayed in the music video by Maori actress Keisha Castle-Hughes, best known for the movie Whale Rider.

After 9-11 she feels oppressed by “Islamophobia”, so dreams of becoming a terrorist and blowing up an airport. So like, bad words make her want to slaughter innocent people. How Muslim of her.

The New York Post described the video as the most tasteless ever.

BALTIMORE
lyrics by Prince
NPG RECORDS, copyright 2015

NOBODY GOT IN NOBODY'S WAY
SO EYE GUESS U COULD SAY
IT WAS A GOOD DAY
AT LEAST A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE DAY IN BALTIMORE

DOES ANYBODY HEAR US PRAY?
4 MICHAEL BROWN OR FREDDIE GRAY PEACE IS MORE THAN THE ABSENCE OF WAR
ABSENCE OF WAR

R WE GONNA C ANOTHER BLOODY DAY?
WE'RE TIRED OF CRYIN' & PEOPLE DYIN'
LET'S TAKE ALL THE GUNS AWAY

ABSENCE OF WAR- U AND ME
MAYBE WE CAN FINALLY SAY
ENUFF IS ENUFF IT'S TIME 4 LOVE

IT'S TIME 2 HEAR,
IT'S TIME 2 HEAR

THE GUITAR PLAY! (guitar solo)
