TMZ: Prince Treated for Overdose of Percocet Days Before His Death;
Plus: "Donald Trump (Black Version)," By Prince and The Time

They say he was given a "save shot," usually given to counteract opioids.

Our sources further say doctors advised Prince to stay in the hospital for 24 hours. His people demanded a private room, and when they were told that wasn't possible ... Prince and co. decided to bail. The singer was released 3 hours after arriving and flew home.

We're told when Prince left he "was not doing well."

Percocet contains oxycodone, which is, as we're all now well aware, extremely addictive.

TMZ says he had had hip surgery in 2010 and might have started taking percocet for pain. If so, he might never have really stopped taking them.

And this is just crazy. Prince wrote a song for his mentee-band The Time. (He had a bunch of groups he formed and wrote some music for and promoted: I'm pretty sure he gave them the songs that weren't up to Prince standards.)

The song is called, get this, "Donald Trump (Black Version)," which is just a silly song about the idea of Donald Trump being black and laying rap on a chick in a black kind of idiom.

It's not especially insulting; it's too silly to be all that insulting.

Though it does occur to me that "Donald Trump (Black Version)" isn't all that different from Donald Trump (White Version).

Lyrics below and song under the fold. The Washington Post link above has annotations to the lyrics.

Remember, the time frame of this song was about the time when Trump was making headlines in the NY Post for his affair with minor actress Marla Maples.

I'm sure I can hear Prince's voice clearly singing the chorus. It's obviously the Purple One himself.

Link here to the song, and also embedded below the lyrics.

Honey baby, you truly know it. You truly know it. You look good. Tryin' your best to show it. If I were you, I would. True love and affection. These are nice, so nice but when a money man walks in the room, girl, you look more than twice. You look once, you look twice. Can I rap to you sugar tonight?

(chorus)
Donald Trump (black version), maybe that's what you need.
A man that fulfills your every wish, your every dream.
Donald Trump (black version), come on take a chance.
A 1990's love affair, the real romance.

Honey baby, you are the finest I have seen.
And your disposition's so kind, you'rre never mean.
Girl, you're to good to be true. But last night when you were asleep, you slipped big time.
I heard you. You said your favorite color was green.
So guess what?

(repeat chorus)
Now look here baby. I ain't tryin; to be 90 proof.
But a super strong woman, she needs a super strong dude.

Sweet words of love are helpful.
But what goes a lot farther than that?
A hundred dollar dinner at Adriano's?
A brand new coat or a brand new hat?
Yes, I can do this!

... Donald Trump (black version), maybe that's what you need ...
Come on, come on take a chance.
... A man that fulfills your every wish, your every dream ...
I can fill your every dream, baby.
... Donald Trump (black version), come on take a chance ...
You and me, baby ... and me!
... A 1990's love affair ...
So many things.
... The real romance ...
So many things.

.... Diamonds and pearls ...
I wanna buy you things.
.... Maybe that's what you need ...
'Cause I want all the other girls to bug.
.... A man that fulfills your every wish ...
My name is Morris, baby.
.... Your every dream ...
And I dig you. And when I dig somebody,
.... Donald Trump (black version) ...
They stay dug.
.... Come on take a chance ...
They stay dug baby.
... A 1990's love affair, the real romance ...

I... I... I... I got what you need baby.
Come on baby, come on take a chance.
