New Power Generation, The - Count The Days Lyrics






Count the days

Here's a church, here's a steeple
Here's a muthafucka that I gotta blow away
Here's my chance 2 cure the ills of the people
But not until I make this muthafucka pay
And oh, baby I count the days

(Yeah yes)
I count the days

Here's the interview, here's the time
If I keep your secrets, will you keep mine?
If we hurry, we can catch the train
If it was left up 2 U, I would die in pain
(That's why) I count the days

(Oh yeah)
Whoa, I'm counting (Oh)
Hear me (Hear me)


(Days) (Days) Days
Counting the days

Great day in the morning
My choir sing a pretty song
Every day I'm with your ass is another day wasted
I swear is a day 2 long

Counting
Like Frankie Beverly without Maze
I'm counting
Muthafucka, I count the days

Can I count on? (Hey)
Count on? (Counting)
Count on? (Hey yeah)
I count the days (Days)

Count the days [repeat till fade]

New Power Generation, The Count The Days Comments
  1. p.... ....

    I can hear Prince saying to Mayte: "Now, eye don't want U 2 sing. U just sit there and look pretty. Cool?"

  2. A.... F....

    Beautiful Song💜

  3. S.... M....

    Where’s da explicit version?

  4. S.... W....

    Oh, my beautiful, beautiful man. 💜

  5. C.... T....

    Wasn't this in 1995? April 5th, 1995...?

    If so, this is 17 days before the start of the 21-year countdown to his death.

    He was indeed counting the days...

    C.... T....

    @ Conspiracy Theorista , Great catch. And also of course the # 21 as the day of his death and then we see the # 17 in his song "17 days". I did a video where I believe he died (or was supposed to have died) on April 15 and it is interesting to note that in the song "Nothing Compares 2U" that Sinead O'Connor sings, she says "it's been 7 hours and 15 days" yet, when Prince sings it, he says "7 hours and 13 days". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSht7hqhkto&t=4s

    C.... T....

    @Hollywood Hoodwinked Interesting video! Yes - that number of days after the seven hours line all has special significance for each person who sang it.

    Have you seen/heard the Chris Cornell version?

    Not the one he does in concert, and not the one you see in videos all over the place... I'm talking about the one that was released ON Prince's death date... it's a different version...

    C.... T....

    It certainly is telling that they picked that particular day to release an Official Video of a song originally released in 1994. Also, check it out.....they published the video on April 21, 2010, yet on the Soundgarden about page it says they joined Mar 4, 2016. The lyrics.... "Hands are for shaking No, not tying, no, not tying"..... Chris Cornell did not tie that noose after his last concert at FOX Theater, the same venue as Prince's last concert. His death is suspicious just like Prince's, MJ's, Whitney's and countless others. Chris Cornell also did awesome covers of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You".

  6. K.... K....

    I'll guess he had a bad face day

    What is he talking about in the first verse?

  9. D.... L....

    Thank you

  10. M.... T....

    That´s what I loved most about Prince. "Count The Days" is anyway a great track but the live Version makes it´s 100000x greater than the Studio-Version with the Addition of Michael B´s drumming.

  11. P.... F....

    Song so good, thanks to network axs for playing this. Catalog so big, great songs on the album that didn't sell that well.

  12. P.... K....

    Was this in 1996? I thought P and Mayte was in Hawaii the week after they got married, the guy sounds like he's from the UK

  13. G.... G....

    That presenter was a fucking dickhead

  14. M.... B....

    Superbe.

  15. S.... C....

    Man Prince was hittin that since a little boo boo (16) lol
    She just sittin in the bck not understanding music lol (cute)

  16. l.... h....

    All the other artists fight for second place...

  17. 2.... ....

    I think this was on the "GIRL 6" Soundtrack. I used to play the HEEEYUL outta this damn song.

  18. D.... J....

    Only Prince would sing with a Silk mask over his face! Man, he was a Trip!

  19. Y.... P....

    Genius !!

    Baby i count the days
    🙏😢

  28. t.... ....

    "she's the one in red. although in fact, she's now the one in white cuz they just got hitched last week." no, she's the one in egg on her face cuz Prince dumped her ass. 🤣😜

  29. W.... A....

    I like to see Jimi Hendrix try something like this in concert

    W.... A....

    Two totally different artist both great innovators. Separate gifts and different demons.

  30. C.... A....

    💜💜💜💜💜

  31. D.... C....

    Loving this soo smooth ..he's so so genius. Love him

  32. A.... W....

    Mayte looks like she's faking it. , Enstead of feeling it. She looks out of place or displaced. She looks like she can't keep the beat to the song. Prince looks like he's her babysitter. Like as if he told her to just sit down and behave , be seen but not heard while he plays his guitar. Be a good little girl Mayte. Just sit there and smile , and look like a good little puppet on a string. ......I'm not trying to sound like a hater .it just looked that way to me.

    A.... W....

    eddie luvsprince I agree. She was there cuz he was infatuated. He was full of lust for her.

    A.... W....

    This is so absurd. This is not a dancing kind of song. Watch Days of Wild. Prince let her be free and sexy af on stage

    A.... W....

    b g Mayte is a hot opportunist mess!!!

    A.... W....

    mayte looked like a fucking moron on all these 1992-1995 performances but bear in mind prince was almost certainly heavily pressuring her to do them (because of, uh, ancient egypt, or royalty attribution, or whatever). give her a break

  33. F.... P....

    The one and only Prince!

  34. N.... ....

    ONE OF FAVORITE SONGS.
    Prince was sexy, sensual , charming , funny, talented , stylish, creative, artistic , otherworldly , bad-ass, out spoken , maverick, uninhibited, ethereal , spiritual, an enigma, humanitarian , unique and a SOUL BROTHER. He will always be in my heart💜. No one will ever compare
    to you PRINCE💜

    N.... ....

    ooooooweeeeee!!!!! yesssssss! yes he was!! talk! that talk! R.I.P. my darling Prince Rogers Nelson😞💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

  35. D.... A....

    Who is funkier...? ain't nobody funkier than Prince. He is IT.

  36. M.... G....

    Tora Tora is my Hero, he gave me a reason 2 wear a veil around my face. It's just like buckethead that glued a white palid mask and made him look different but unique. I was listening 2 madhouse 24 album with Eric Leeds, Michael B., Sonny T., Tommy Barbarella and of course Tora Tora and he plays guitar on the 24 album as 2 him playing the double bass on the Exodus album. Glad I have both of them. I don't care what people say about his mask! 2 me its not about the look, it's about the message. And the NPG is still in full effect! Peace and B Wild!

    M.... G....

    Always..

  37. s.... H....

    prince your voice touches me all over

  38. Q.... o....

    Even a mask couldnt hide how beautiful that man was. OMG!!!!! Too fine

    Q.... o....

    Omg boo you're eveerrry where 😂😂😂😂

  39. R.... R....

    Love how he edits the F word.

  40. C.... D....

    Unfortunately his life didn't start with that crazy chick.

  41. m.... b....

    Genius.

  42. S.... o....

    Awesome Bro!

  43. K.... B....

    I wonder was Mayte pregnant here.

    K.... B....

    Kela Bell No. According to princevault this performance was recorded in early 1995. With a delayed release. They became engaged the summer of that year. Married Valentine’s Day 1996. I don’t think he had her preform after she became pregnant. She worked at Paisley while expecting.

  44. M.... S....

    TORA TORA 🎶🎶🤣🤣😍

  45. P.... ....

    RARE..... TOO COLD!!!!!! Still missin U, PRINCE. 😞😞. Music aint been the same since U went away

  46. T.... K....

    PRPL 4EVR EVRY WAY & DAY!

  47. J.... C....

    I don't like this era when Tora Tora needed 2 take the center stage : it was da NPG hour... TAFKAP was always able to release a solo album at this time. I neva didn't dig this. Neva. I'm sorry.

    J.... C....

    Jean Caponski wow you such a character

  48. P.... T....

    This song introduced me to Maze and Frankie Beverly. Thanks Prince. RIP

    P.... T....

    Wow. I couldn't imagine my life without Frankie Beverly & Maze's music. Prince definitely gave you a gift. Lol.

  49. B.... I....

    the exodus album actually had some great songs on it. but all the pointless segues ruins the album.

    B.... I....

    Brian Inglis the

  50. F.... L....

    NO HE DIDNT

  51. C.... s....

    why did he cover his face ?

    C.... s....

    Verbal Art (Music)...Absorb and Interpret the wordsmith of musical art... The Black & White...Shear scarf covering his face is just a small way to interpret social injustices in society...Visual Art EXPRESSION. PRINCE music always is about bringing people 2gether Black White Rich Poor seeking a common ground.

    C.... s....

    Tora Tora time of his life

    C.... s....

    Casey strickland FAM 😂

    C.... s....

    This was the WB fight days so he didnt want to use "Prince" . So he didnt speak as Tora Tora . Tora means Tiger(in Japanese) which was the code for the attack on pearl harbor.

    C.... s....

    Cause he is Prince, the G.O.A.T. He is an entertainer. It gets people talking. Why not

  52. S.... ....

    One of my faves!!

  53. S.... M....

    Why is he wearing a mask?

    S.... M....

    Ami Mizuno


    Da real truth, Ruth, iz dat he wuz goin 2 rob a bank, after da show. Muggafugga, wuz countin da dayz, til he wuz gone rob dat bank!

    S.... M....

    Konga 63 I don't know how true that is, but there's a beautiful close up shot of him in that covering (which is not shown on here) so, I ain't complaining.

    S.... M....

    It's actually because this was one of his alter egos,Tora Tora, as part of the New Power Generation.

    S.... M....

    Alex Tsitsopoulos Truth

    S.... M....

    Alex Tsitsopoulos that's it Tora Tora

  54. S.... S....

    Prince didn't care if you are black or white...his brilliant music brought us together ....

    C.... C....

    @October 19th, 20 beyond Most of those women, if they're not light-skinned, they have long hair. Like Chilli. Her skin is dark, but look at her hair texture and length. I think the high school sweetheart you're speaking of was Ms. Kim Upsher, who passed away, I think in 2013. She was Black and Beautiful with medium length hair. I just don't think he would've married her or anyone who looked like her.

    C.... C....

    The most sense I've ever read about Prince online. He loved dark-skinned black women but the record labels and society wouldn't except that from him.
    If you look at his female friends from the early days to the end they were black.
    I use the term friend loosely here...
    It sadness me that people think he didn't love the black woman
    Obviously not listening to his lyrics.
    Piece and B wild

    C.... C....

    @skytraxx67 till the END. his "muse" that he spent all his last days with was noami campbell looking

    C.... C....

    @dap dunlap wow how do you know? Do you have a name was she famous

    C.... C....

    @skytraxx67 She's talking about Demaris. She's Van Jones' god niece. She was his muse in his last few tours prior to 3rd Eye Girl and Hit & Run. But they were friends. He and Andy Allo were close...they dated.
