Uptown Lyrics
-
The Song Addresses The Uptown Neighborhood Of Minneapolis That Was The City's Hang-Out Spot For Artists. Prince Uses The Concept Of Uptown To Address Racism And Hatred In The Song. Prince Sings In The First Person, And The Song Opens With Him Describing A Change Meeting With An Attractive Woman Who Then Asks Him In An Offensive Way If He Is Gay. Prince Then Addresses The Reasons For Racism And Sings About A Place, Uptown, Where Racism And Hatred Do Not Exist. The Song Is One Of Prince's Earliest Efforts To Blend Political Statements Into His Art. Uptown Is Also Described As An Area Where One Can Be Free To Express Oneself, And Prince Was Very Fond Of The Concept.
