[Chorus: Jill Scott]
The little rain drops fallin' down on me
But I can't seem to feel it, feel it
Feel it coming over me
[Will Smith]
The rain gon' come through the window, pain will come
Black, white, rich, poor, it's the same old drum
Rainy days like the war, use wisdom as a weapon
Hold your head up, dry your clothes and keep steppin'
Let the children feel the rain, 'cause if they feel the rain
gt;From the wetness, they stand to gain
I came into the game, it felt like the middle of June
Music was warm, artists, like flowers, they bloom
Then boom, I shook the room, many felt the thunder
My time to shine, did it like summer
I wondered if the sun would shine forever
Pops said rain gon' come , to him I said never
Chedder in the genes, face on screens
Got a benz wit' the sheen, but what did it all mean
I earned money and burned money, credit cards smokin'
Platinumn, grammys, famous, but still broke and
Not having cash put me in check
Yo, the road to the riches is slippery when wet
Amongst the fall is where you truly find yourself
Ever since then, the rain I never felt
Deal wit' it
[Chorus]
[Will Smith]
At age seventeen, the worst pain, a hurrcaine
Her first name still conjuers the rain
Vowed to never let nobody ever get me wet
Lest we forget, love is a four season concept
Many say the rain they can't stand
Never let the weather determine the man
God has a plan, from it I never ran
Follow my heart through the storm, my umbrella in hand
I'm Noah, life's my arc
forty days and forty nights, still can't take my heart
Seen the fallen man
To dope and liquor brands
The devil'll dance to make it rain
Bringing the pain
Walk through the puddles of struggle on flooded streets
Soakin' wet, but mastered the art of peace
Through grey skies, I grew wise, on bended knees I knelt
Since then, the rain I never felt
What's wit' it
[Chorus]
[Will Smith]
Sometimes I sit in my room, stuff on my mind
Stress, can't rest, so I open the blinds
See kids in the streets, runnin' around
It wasn't touchin' 'em, but the rain was comin' down
I wondered how, with my mouth wide
Reminisce of the key, said I wanna go outside
In the rain, to see if the same would happen to me
'Bout that time, God started rappin' to me
He said pain is the mother of change, the rain must flow
So the seeds of joy might grow
Don't be afraid, find shelter in me
The road to greatness, through the valley of adversity
I felt the light as He proceeded to drop the gem
These little children, the world we must receive like them
I just smiled, and thanked Him for the cards He delt
And since then, the rain I never felt
What's wit' it
[Chorus]
Hello?
Yeah, this is Prince, whose this?
Yo, what's up baby, how you doin?
Oh, I'm tryin to see you on a personal tip
You know that, right?
Ah come on
You been tellin me that for years
You're a little bit older than me, you know?
You're 30 years old and I'm 20
Age ain't nothin but a number, baby
Hey look, I'm young but I'm real strong
Hey look, I know that, I know, I know
I can't sport you around in my Benzito
And take you out to dinner and be seen
You know
That's cool, though
I tell you what
I tell you what
Got sumthin that can remedy for this problem
This is what I want you to do
I want you to get a globe, right?
I want you to spin the globe, spin it hard baby
Pick anywhere in the world
And I'll take you there
We'll be together, alright?
You with that?
Greek mythological gods are inferior
Studs and playboys, come on, I'm superior
Any man can look and see where the curves are
It takes a real man to find where the nerves are
Women like huggin, kissin and caressing
And a slow undressing
Calm down, chill out, take your time, dude
Don't be all rough and fast like a monsoon
Women are soft and fragile, you know delicate
It's really not appealing to then when the fella gets
All worked up and rushes to the pinnacle
You might think so, but yo, they ain't with it though
Candlelight dinner, just you and her in a
Nice restaurant is always a winner
Then ah - if she is first rate and on the first date
She says no, be patient, don't push her, just wait
Because a woman is a gift to a man
They like you real hard but with a gentle hand
So get your act together cause if you're trippin up
If you're slippin up, then F.P. is pickin up
All of y'all slack man, cause what you're lackin
I fill up, so ain't no need to come back, man
Everything ain't always the way that it seems
I'm the Fresh Prince, baby doll, and I'm the man of your dreams
Yo, what's up
Yeah, this is Jeff
Yeah I heard you talked to Prince today huh
Yeah let me guess
He's young but strong
Yeah
I kind a figured that
Let me ask you a question
Did he kick the globe line on you?
Yeah I thought so
I heard that before too
Look, I'm not into geography
So I'm not gonna ask you to spin no globe and point to where you wanna go
Or spend no dollars or even do back-semis when I come in the room
Because I'm not into that
You know, all I'm asking for is 60 minutes of your time
And I can set the whole record straight
You know what I'm saying
I'm not trying to say nothing that's hard or complex
Or get you psyched with a pose or body flex
I win your loving with a paid vacation
You know I'm more into a intellectual stimulation
I make your mind feel good your body follows it
I pour loving in, your mind swallows it
I'm not dissing Prince, cause he's my friend
But boys'll be boys and men'll be men
Ladies, your battery's unstable
Jazzy Jeff got the world's best jumping cables
Fourteen thousand volts of pure intimacy
That's enticing to you
Yeah, it was meant to be
Don't debate the great flow of fate
Let he who's Jazzy have you concentrate
Think of me and you makin love as a team
I'm Jazzy Jeff baby doll, and I'm the man of your dreams
Yo Jeff, what up, hop
What's up, man
Hey, I heard that you was trying to talk to my girl
Man, what's up with that?
What, your girl
Yeah, my girl, I heard you heard you was trying to talk to my girl
What's up
Nah, it ain't even like that, you know
If you was kickin stronger game
She wouldn't have to call me
Stronger game
Yo, you was tryin push up on my girl
I wanna know what's up with that
Once again your girl
Yeah
I think you better get the record straight, man
You said my girl was pushing up on you
Ain't too much to be pushing up on!
I mean that's true, you know
But you know you kickin that 'spin the globe' and all of that crazy stuff
She ain't with that
Aight, aight, aight
We ain't even gotta go into this
Hey, I'm confident in myself
I'm sure you're confident in yourself
We'll let her decide
Yeah, you know
We can let her decide over a nice candlelight dinner at my spot
Cause that's where she gonna be tonight
Oh ha -dinner
You better hope she can make it to dinner after she had lunch with me
Oh yeah?
Yeah, word up
You lead it off I end it off
Yeah alright, homie
You better check yourself before you wreck yourself
Ooh, I'm scared, I'm scared
I was cruisin down the avenue early one Friday
When I saw what I thought was a lady walkin my way
I turned my back to mama can I blast
And I said hmm excuse me and she walked past
She was about five foot six or maybe six and a half
With a body like a goddess, man, this girl was bad!
Tight leather pants that fit like a drum
And two big - yeah well, she had some
Anyway from behind she was fine
But when she turned around, her mustache was bigger than mine
At first I laughed, cause yo, to me that was funny
But the laughter ceased when she said hey honey
At first I was confused, I was somewhat spell-bound
My mouth wide open and my chin on the ground
And then it hit me, like a bolt from the sky
I thought: hold up - wait - this girl is a guy
I tried to get away, I said, Well, never mind
Maybe I'll see you some other time
But then he grabbed me by my arm and told me I couldn't leave
And said, Hey boy, you look mighty cute in them jeans
This had to be the most embarrassing thing in the world
My whole neighbourhood was watching me get beat up by a girl
And when my homeboys came, they didn't let me explain
They said prince, you're a sucker, you should be ashamed
My pride was busted right along with my eye
Cause my homeboys didn't realize that this girl was a guy
And in retrospect I had to laugh
I can't believe I didn't notice that this girlie had a mustache
(get down)
I remember last year, the day was October 5th
And my family went away on a weekend ski trip
And they left $100 and a note by the phone
That said don't have any company till we get home
No company I'm 18 They must be jokin!
And by 10 my crib was smokin
All of my friends with their hands in the air
Screaming (party over here party over there)
The party was jammin till at least about 5
And as my friends were leaving, they were like Homes, it was live
I thought the party was over, but really was just beginning
I turned around I thought I was dreamin, I saw four women
Dressed in red leather, tight to their booties
I gestured with my index finger come here, cuties
I tried to be chill, I didn't wanna scare em
I said Hi my name's the Prince they said Hi Prince, wheres your harem
I didn't waste time, I started shooting the gift
I said Y'all the type of girls I'd like to spend some time with
I walked upstair, my adrenaline pumpin
Till one hit me in the head with a lamp or somethin
The next thing I remember is wakin up nearly dead
With another Fred Flintstone lump on my head
Of course I was mad, this type of thing can burn at you
They tied me up and they were stealin my furniture
I said Yo sweetheart, what's wrong with you
What kind of stuff is this for a nice girl like you to do?'
She turned around and smiled and laughed
And that's the way that I noticed that the girlie had a mustache
Not four girls, four guys
They were in disguise it was a set up all the time
I made a complete fool of myself that day
My parents were pullin up just as the u-haul truck was pullin away
They walked in, looked like they seen a ghost
There I was, gagged and bound and tied to the bed post
My pop walked in and asked a brilliant question
Son, where's the furniture and why is your room so messy
Obviously Sherlock Holmes had been arrived
I said What do you think, dad, maybe we were robbed
I'm tied up, nothing's in one piece
Let's discuss the facts later, mom, please call the police
I wanted to have a party, I thought I was clever
My pop told me I was on punishment forever!
And in retrospect I had to laugh
I can't believe I didn't notice that the girlie had a mustache
(get down)
One one
Grand number
Grand numero
Court is now in session
Here ye here ye all listen close
To the man the myth the fresh the prince the utmost
I got a brain like a cup and rhymes I pour em spectrum to the astra dome to bore em
All the way to wembley fans are in a frenzy doing what I gotta do to make people remember me
Fast like flo jo crazy like cujo
Both I know and you know that I'm numero uno
My crew is numero
Order in the court prepare to cop the plea sucker
Judge jury bailiff their all me
Your on trial but you can't win
Cause I wrote the script you die in the end
So throw in the towel sign off just give it up
You tried to beat me in a game that I made up
And by the time you learnt the rules and tried to change your fate
Its too little too late sorry chump check mate
I'm in the room to do my thing
You wanna battle lets go just get your butt in the ring
10 seconds and its over I yell out who's next
I got you off guard with the lyrical suplex
I flex my lyrics so that you cant jinx
The ship that wont sink more popular than the sphynx
I'm a cardo will strong just like a dinosaur
You want more your not scared then what your running for
Cause I'm the incredible I do the impossible
I'm known to destro you and your crew if you follow the rules
I'm number one I'm the prince I'm the lyrical gun
What you're dissing me yo cut that out son
Cause I'm a weapon you heard what I said
And I should have a danger sign on my forehead
Cause I'm lethal fatal unstable
I'm nitro standing in front of a mic cable
Waiting to blow if there's a flick or a static
To ignite the fuse in the room you feel the doom
You tried to break but there's no escape
From the jaws of death you took the bait
Wait and if I say so you may go
It's like mother mayor
May It oh hell no
Go ahead and play me if you think I'm a joke
Just keep a brace around for when your neck gets broken
Cause your gambling just like craps and trump go ahead roll
Snake eyes you lost chump
That's the way its gonna be every time you try to go rhyme for rhyme
Your rhymes against my rhymes are dope
Your rhyming is weak your rhyming is wack
Wherever you got it from I suggest that you take it back
Hold up hobbes you say you made it up
Then cut your head off because your brain sucks
You should a stayed back
You should a laid back
You Should a prayed that
I didn't come back
But I came back
Remember way back
You used to say that
I wrote wack raps
Now your screaming out somebody tame that
Lyrical cyclops yo prince please stop
Somebody call the cops go get you some eye drops
Now heres a word for the wise don't go into the light
That's how I get ya cause I'm a poetic poltergeist
Now in ya mind is a vision that's driven by my decision to become an imaginational figment
Which gives you the freedom to explore and roll around with your mind and disappear when you look behind
You know I'm a gladiator and I really hate a sucker stepping to me that's a perpetrator
Really I'm the vader terminator that's like setting up do that and detonator
Go the phat was
You know that I'm def cause
I just transformed it like jeff does
Fast like flo jo crazy like kujo
Both I and you know that I'm numero uno
My crew is numero
Grand number
My crew is numero

Hello?
Yeah, I talked to him
Whoa, whoa..
Nah, you ain't got to explain nothin to me
See, you tried to play my man and end up playin yourself
Later for you
Nah, matter of fact later for you
And your golddiggin girlfriend you put me down with)
(Thought I was a donut)
(Tried to glaze me)
(Thought I was a donut)
(Thought I was a donut, you tried to glaze me)
This story that I'm about to tell ya
Is all about this girl named Delia
Five foot seven a Gucci queen
With gold all over that flowed like a stream
I met her in a club on a Saturday night
The girl's jeans were tight and I got hype
I thought about talkin to this little miss
But I kept seen guy after guy gettin dissed
Every guy that cracked got flagged
But somethin kept sayin (you) (you) (you bad)
I walked up and asked the girl to take a ride
I whispered in her ear, said, 'My car's outside'
At first she laughed and said, 'Nah, not yet'
Then I told her it's a 'Vette and she said 'bet'
'Under one condition: you gotta let me drive it'
She kissed me on the lips and I said (you got it)
(You got it)
Oh what sweet music she and I made
Only I was gettin dissed while she was gettin paid
Everything that I owned, she took it
All the way down to my foodstamp booklets
I was contemplatin her bein my wife and
All she was tryin to do was siphin
Every single dime that she could extort
She was Jane the Ripper, and she couldn't be caught
My friends tried to tell me but I stood behind her
(The girl ain't nothin but a 49er)
They tried to tell me but I couldn't be told
Because her beauty was a shovel that was diggin for gold
Diamonds and furs, I spent all I had
And took her shoppin every day at Sack's 5th ave
Visa, Mastercard and even Discover
She told me this is the way that I can show her I love her
My friends tried talkin to me, they tried stoppin me
(If she had a gun they'd arrest her for robbery!)
I knew she was playin me for every dime
But I loved when people said (Homes, your girl is fine)
But then one day, yo, I got wise
I found out she was messin with a couple of guys
She told me that she loved me but I guess she forgot it
Oh, you wanna play hardball, huh (You got it)
(You got it)
The final night that I caught this girlie
I was out of town and I came home early
I caught her in a club kissin some guy Fred
Stormed up right behind her, grabbed her and I said
Yo Delia What's up baby
Come on you got to be crazy
That's your cousin you think I'm a nut
What kinda cousin would you let put his hand on your butt
Na girl, you done got out of hand
And it's about to seem like I'm the repo man
You vacuumed all of my funds like a rug
But you stretched the cord too far you pulled the plug
Let's what come on it's too late to talk
It's like monopoly and I bought you the Boardwalk
But tomorrow you'll wake up and take a look
And think the stockmarket crashed on your pocketbook
But it's over now I want everything
All the way from Louis Vuiton bags to earrings
Especially the solid gold earring noodles
And the diamond watch, the whole kit and kaboodle
Don't tell me I'm trippin
Oh, you got amnesia now you're forgettin
Who did what for who I gave my all to you
I can't seem to see why you did wrong to me
I finally figured out what you're about
But it's the bottom of the ninth two strikes and two outs
You can go make a sucker of another fellow
It's 12:01 let's give it up Cinderella
I ain't goin for it, stop cryin
Like Ms. Melody said I ain't buyin it
Game over girl you finished clockin
You wanted your walking papers (You got it)
(You got it)
(Thought I was a donut)
(Tried to glaze me)
Darkchild, Big Will, 2000
Bust out, shake it up now
Come on, come on
Shake it up now
Who am I
You know, you know
Big Will, ya ready
Come on
[Will Smith]
When I was a lad I used to dream that (one day)
I'd earned the cream that
Make the rocks gleam Phat rhymes to make it seem that
I was like Bill Gates
Writing lies, seal fates
Power to change the whole set
Force foes to forfeit
Then with the wicked sense on how to get the picket fence
Envisioned a hot life, hot wife
Wanted a crib, well a palace like South Fork on Dallas
With lights in my trees for the ambience
I been up and down and high and low
Fly with dough, broke looking grimy yo
My shiny glow definitely ain't cause of my Bentley
It's something that my fam put in me
Who am I You ask
The guy with the razzamatazz with ten duffel bags packed with pazazz
In the past cut twice by the ladies of my life (And the wounds)
Stitched up by my wife
Who am I
It's suffice to say found gold in my heart
Put the ice away
Nicer day, live foul homie it's a price to pay
Even when it's rainy still I say it's nice to day
Who am I
That brother with the platinum plaque
With the strength to stand and say gangsta rap was whack
The fact is that whenever I rap or act
Pole position, front of the pack
Who am I
[Tatyana Ali]
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I
Baby if you really wanna know about me (about me)
I'll tell you who I am I'll tell you I be (I be)
Not the one for games
But if you're right with me (Oh Yeah)
I know I'll do the same
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I
(L-Y-T-E)
[MC Lyte]
Who am I
You dare to ask
The same female that hailed from Brooklyn and wailed on that ass
I'm your worst nightmare, you're best wet dream
Break the bank papi cause we coming for the cream
And while I'm in the world ain't none of y'all safe (not one)
Hold paps, sell a million and you still won't equate
So who am I It ain't hard to tell
Like staying on track cause you thinking I fell
See a lot know my face but a few know me well
Just who I am is the one to make you gel
Who am I The chick that keeps spittin'
Taking back all my snip that was bitten
Rewritten dangerous laison
With the shades on
Making sure the track stays on
Days on end I be that one true friend
That will always be around when the world falls down
I'm honest to the bone
No question, suggest
You don't wanna know
I give the truth, nothing less than
I'm sweet with a heart to fit
Smart as a whip
You feed me well but I'm still hard to get
I'm like a calculus problem you just can't solve
Study me well if you wanna get involved
And even after that I'm still unpredictable
Now who am I I'm unforgettable
[Tatyana Ali]
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it (you might hate it)
But you wanna know baby
Who am I
I be fully educated (yes I am)
Not the one to play with (No No)
And I find that some of y'all hate it (who am I)
But you wanna know baby
Who am I (who I am)
(Tatyana Ali, L-Y-T-E, Big Will for the Will 2k, one time no doubt)
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I
I be fully educated
Not the one to play with
And I find that some of y'all hate it
But you wanna know baby
Who am I

[Jeff] Lets, Lets Go
[Fresh Prince] I Got the call about eleven fifteen
Twelve o'clock arrived on the scene
Looked around and things were ill
The party was at a dead stand still
People sittin' around no music
The situation was somewhat confusing
But I'm a detective I knew right away what happened
Somebody stole the D.J
. Who or why I had no clue
But I knew what I had to do
No eat no sleep, just work
Then walked past this fly mini-skirt
I had to dis her quick before she greeted
Come on baby I'm working, beat it
Come on I'm busy, just go away
Gotta find out who stole the D.J.
[Jeff] Lets, Lets Go
[Fresh Prince] This mystery needed to quickly be solved
Cause there were kids involved
Friday and Saturday nights had no songs
Why, because the D.J. was gone
Smiles you used to dance and sing around
Now were replaced by frowns
And it was up to me to solve the mystery
And get back the disc jockey
I found an eye witness
But his breath wreaked of chitlins
All I know is his breath did pound
Buddy forget it, just write it down
No fingerprints no clues
The only witness was the bad breath dude
It was up to me to save the day
And find out who stole the D.J.
[Jeff] Lets, Lets Go
[Fresh Prince] Through the door this dame walked in
I swear to James Bond a perfect ten
I thought to myself I'm working just forget it
Then I thought well maybe I've got a minute
So I took her down to the station
To the back room for some interrogation
Captain doesn't like it, but I must confess
I interrogate best when I'm undressed
We were in there for hours drained
To see who would break first, me or the dame
Then she broke, and her mind was my possession (Prince I love you)
That wasn't the question I only wanna know one thing
I've gotta make the kids dance and sing
So tell me now cause crime don't pay baby
Who stole the D.J.
I scarrowed the city but still no clue
Lost like a cause, what should I do
Then like a bolt of ligtening it hit me
Ah, the worst villain in the city
I wasn't prepared for what was in store
He had stolen the D.J. before
You all know this ruthless foe
To his hideout (let, lets go)
Tip toed up the steps
Slowly and ever so quietly I crept
But out of nowhere I was attacked
Just like in the movies, clubbed from the back
I felt like a fool (man, you need to go back to private eye school)
I was the dunce of the day
There I was tied up with the D.J.
[Jeff] Let's Go
[Fresh Prince] There we were both tied to a pole I told the D.J. relax its under control
(Relax man, we both goin' down you can't even keep yourself untied)
Do you want to be free or not I'm gonna get us out of this tight spot
I planned this all along cap
There a knife in my swiss army hat
With the blade I cut the rope (Man your secret services spy hats dope)
I radio'd for back up cars
So we could put this crook behind bars
Another criminal off the streets
Another D.J. back to his beats
I walked in the club and I was happy to say
Ladies and gentlemen, here's your D.J.
[Jeff] Let's Go
Announcer] Calling all cars, calling all cars Be on the lookout, (let, lets go) Someone has stolen another D.J. Calling private eye Fresh Prince Be on the lookout (let, lets go) Someone has stolen another D.J. Get on the case immediately
[Jeff] Lets Go, Lets Go, Lets Go, Lets Go
Yo jeff whats up holmes
Yo Whats up prince
Yo whats up man
Ay wheres my car at
Wheres your car why you asking me
No I parked my car right here your standing here wheres my car
I been ere for an hour and a half
I ain't seen it
Come on man stop playing jeff wheres my car at
No I'm serious man it's not in my pocket I haven't seen your car
Jeff wheres my car I parked my car right here man
I don't know!
Now a joke is a joke and fun and games are chill
But this isn't funny this is straight up ill
Now there's a limit to humour and this is gone too far
I ain't laughing no more y'all now who stole my car
I don't know man
I don't know if y'all ever had a car stolen before
But it's a real crazy feeling when you walk out the door
And you don't need a map or any kind of chart
That your standing in the spot where your car used to be parked
Now you know you parked your car their but yet you keep looking
Cause your mind didn't except yet that somebody took it
So your scratching your head and trying to get things clear and theres always some idiot who says
You sure you parked here
To call the police would be the move that's smart
But instead you keep looking where you know you didn't park
Searching for reasons like maybe tickets you owed
Something to justify that maybe it got towed
But not stolen naa never forget it
But then you ask yourself well where the hell is it
If there was a prize you'd win dummy of the year
Cause you looking somewhere else when you know you parked it here
So to never never land you find yourself strolling
And when you finally except that its stolen
You call the police and they come and say
That's the 437th car stolen today
As if that's something that he really needed to mention
Then they start asking you real dumb questions like
When's the last time that you saw it
You idiot right before they stole it
Now your mad this cop is talking to you
And somebody's in your car heading to kalamazoo
Officer fool or whoever you are can you please get off your butt and find who stole my car
I remember my first car never forget it
A candy red apple irub windows be tinted
Talk about fast like a rocket to drive
When from zero to 60 in like 5 point 5
And matching red rims but that wasn't enough
It had a ca phone for when I wanted to reach out and touch
An alpine stereo that straight up rocked
With 12 inch woofers you could hear for blocks
The first day I got it I was fronting real hard
I could hear people saying damn look at that car
I was hyped and I wanted my friends to check it out
So I went to the spot where they usually hangin out
Just my luck nobody standing outside
I really didn't feel like parking my ride
So I honked my horn but nobody was coming
I said what the heck I ran inside and left it running
I was inside for 20 seconds that's all
I found my friends and said you gotta check this out y'all
But when we came back out the car wasn't there
Man you ain't buy nothing I did I swear
My friends went inside I was mad they didn't believe me
Now I'm standing outside at the spot my car used to be
It was hard to figure out what to do all alone
But then I got it call the car phone
Fresh princes car
Yo thief bring my car back now before I bust your
Hold up wait a minute pal
Seems like you kinda forgot the keys
I thought man he's right well bring it back please
Hello listen thief don't hang up
Then luckily jeff pulled up
I told him what had happened someone's stolen my car
I said come on jeff lets get him he cant be far
We rode around for about 20 minutes
When we were just about to say forget it
When I spotted him
I said jeff go get it
We pulled up behind him and man he jetted
He was driving all wild and fast like he was getting points for the stuff that he crashed
I called him on the car phone again and I said
Of course you realise when I catch you your dead
All through philly was a high speed chasin
Dude was playing around like he thought we was racing
A hundred miles an our and he lost control
And slammed my car into a telephone pole
I ran to the car I said man you okay
He said yeah so I punched him in the face
The cops came up as if it was my fault
They say me punch dude and charged me with assault
If his neck was closer I probably would have grabbed it
He told the cops that I said he could have it
I calmed down and they got things straight
I saw half my car in seventh street the other half in eighth
I wanna just jump in the ocean
My car looked like it was a leggo explosion
Why does life have to be so hard
Don't laugh next time it could be your car
Can you feel it baby (Kel Spencer) Uh
* take me away*
Flow crazy make em say(Kel) Uh
Make it hot
*Take me away*
Flow crazy make em say Uh
Uh (ah)
Uh (ah)
Uh (ah)
Uh (ah)
Uh (ah)
Uh (ah)
Been to the mountain top down to the valley
Illadelph to Cali
Y'all feel me like harry felt Sally
Clothes exotic
Flows erotic
No jewels
That's for them fools who ain't got it
Wrapped to my own sitcom
Now I just sit calm
Watching y'all respond to my july 4 bomb (ooh)
Yeah I'm a nice kid
But heres some advice kid
Don't get me hyped I set it off like my wife did
Plan down pat like Sajak
Wheel of fortune away
Price ain't right I don't play
Find yourself in jeopardy
The first clue
What is Will Smith
Hot to def not you
I'm like a Porsche you a Pinto
You like a tiny figurine, I'm monumental
You like a small get together on your neighbours back porch
You know just a couple of y'all, I'm a million man march
Attack of the man in black
Like Jordan playing on a train
Yo my game on track
Mad ice
For my wife
No care for what it costed
Had to ease up though
Her wrists got frost bit
My style flavour delivery
My Addiction
Getting medieval like du in pulp fiction
You want some
Bring it
Come one, come all come any
Watch me take there hard a way like Penny
I can take twelve rappers and put em in line
Then twelve emcees that think they can rhyme
Then twelve more brothers that still ain't signed
Then, don't do nuthin, just watch em decline
Gangsta hardcore menace to society
Rap's all the same my pen spits variety
Eclecticism is a virtue
It may not be a word but it's definitely a virtue
Rappers approaching me all across America
Believe me, you don't wanna battle like Erica
I was in the game before publishing was an issue
Your platinum now, but next year I'm gonna miss you
Mad rappers like bad actors should have no parts
Wanna be mad check the charts
Any of em
Oh don't see my name
You don't see my spot
Heres a hint
Look closer to the top
Can you feel it baby (Kel Spencer)
* take me away*
Flow crazy make em say(Kel) Uh

Flow crazy make em say Uh
Come on

Kel Spencer
Love N Loyalty
Yo the flow spray
Veto say
I'm trying to live
And if I catch you out of bounds its cheap shots to the ribs
Love-N-Loyalty dog do it how pac and big did it
It's the wild wild east in me keeping me jig wit it
Play no games
Thirst to heat the rhyme
Motivation
Because procrastination is the thief of time
Holding a torch
I was programmed to scorch
Can't run with the big dogs then stay on the porch
These cats is craftmatic
Hand on the steering wheel
Rocks from the roll
Blonded oncoming traffic
Manhandle rappers
Dismantle rappers
Got lukewarm slash sweet scented candle wrappers
Any teams posing a threat we defeat those
The wealthy man is the man who knows how to keep though
As long as y'all play foul I'm a keep it in free throws
Crush spanish mummies calling me helito
Remember lego blocks
All about the paper now
I use writer's blocks to build sky scraper style
Cats rocking the same flows every day cause they lame
True players gotta change their uniform after the game
Y'all seen the flow
Like y'all never seen before
Don't stop for the dough
Why you think green mean go
Baby learn life's lessons
Scratch regression
Kel Spence the truth
The answer to all questions
Come on
(uh)
Will Smith: Damn Kel, you kinda good
I'm Not A
I'm Not A
I'm Not A
I'm Not A
---Chorus---
I'm Not A
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Come on y'all i ain't no
Yes you are
Up above the clouds so high
No not me I'm just a regular guy
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Come on y'all I ain't no
Yes you are
Up above the clouds so high
No not me I'm just a regular guy
---Chorus---
Star light star so bright
First star that I see tonight
I wish that I may, wish that I might
Rip the rhyme just right
Now you all know how the old story goes
He went from rags to riches and changed as he goes
To me that scenario doesn't apply my friend
'Cause I'm the same guy I've always been
JJ FP one nine nine three
M-O-V-I-E TV and CD
Me and Jeff brand new on the radio
Stepped on the scene and the crowd screams, 'There they go'
What? a star that's quite an analogy
I don't think who we are should be described astrologically
Don’t judge me by my car
And don't treat me any differently
---Chorus---
Let's take a trip down memory lane
You know back before everybody knew my name
Before all the jewellery the fame and the cheers
When I was just the kid with the big old ears
West Philadelphia born and raised
That's the phrase that you hear on Mondays
But lets get a little bit deeper than fact
Back when Jeff was on the scratchback
And I was on the rap
I used to buy records at this audio store
I barely had a dime when I walked out the door
I tried to get a break but they could never seem to cut me
But now I've got the money and they wanna give me stuff free
That's somethin that I'll never understand
Yo I can afford it give the break to the next man
You say I'm a star 'cause I'm large in the land
But excuse me what I do doesn't define who I am
Shaq, Denzel, Quincy Jones what's the category?
It's folks you look up to
The thousand dollar answer is up on the board
Um who is a star
(Buzzer) Sorry no score
people be flippin when they see me around
But yo don't trip just give me a pound
Step up and say hi it don't matter who you are
Come on what you all starin' for?
---Chorus---
Out to see a movie chillin with my millie
Actin kind of silly
In downtown Phillie
You wanna see a new flick i wanna see a classic
So we flip a coin and we settle on Jurassic
Park the only thing that counts is going to be with her
Got some popcorn for the theater
Everything goin' just fine
Then this girl from behind recognized me in the line
I turned around and I smiled and she laughed
She said how you doin can i please have your autograph?
I said ya and as she reached for her pen
Her boyfriend said he aint nobody f him
F me yo what did I do?
watch your mouth man I don't even know you
I'm a peaceful man real easy
I said look you got a problem with me
he said yeah I don't like the way you act
cars and jewellery and wavin' like you all that
I'm not sweatin you no matter who you are
I didn't ask you to homie
---Chorus---
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
we go we go we go a little sumthin like dis like
Your trapped on the dance floor
It's locked there's no escape
There's no eat no drink cant take a break
No seat to sit down you gotta stand up
The record on the wheel reacts like a handcuff
Your in a cage and this groove will bound you
People in the club like bars around you
The doors open up and the people are boarding
Here are the prisoners the DJ is the warden
Your mind is useless instinct takes control
Jam to techno
Groove to soul to soul
You been arrested
Now your being tested
The beat is a sex fiend, you're being molested
Stead drum kicks like pistol in spinal
You gotta dance and get round like a Rhino
The DJ cuts with a knife like a surgery
Sayin that the slice aint nice that’s purgory
The music infiltrates you mutates you
Grabs you holds you moulds you and let you
Do things you wouldn't a otherwise done
Like shake rattle roll pump twist and then some
Ain't no law here you can't protest this
Stop looking around it ain't no oasis
You can't leave till the man pulls the needle
Take that as a warning
Take heed or I'll quicken the pitch and make you dance faster
The drum is the whip, bass line is the master
The temperature's a 100 and yet you still want more
You’re a slave and your trapped on the dance floor
Oh oh I'm trapped like a
I can't get out
Can't you see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused
I can't get out
Now your wondering lost in a jungle
You came in hyped up but now your humble
Bringing out sweat in your silky wet clothes
You scream for help, blend in with the ??? and hoes
You try to sit but their ain't know spaces
The floor is a desert, a party oasis
I know your on the tip for the rhyme I just did
And here's a little taste of my homeboy, El Sid
Ay a prince it’s the El Sid's version
I'm a raid on the track, I'm a hip-hop surgeon
The floor is jam packed get away from the bar scene
The strum of the drum has you trapped like a sardine
You try to move no form of escape
The heat brings on sweat, stick on like tape
Party's like a ???
Girls slim and trim on the floor
Don't try to shoot for the door
This ain't the gym
The party goers every night had a scene
This mic try to respond but still trapped like in Venus
Aint a spiff or a spoof
Boy you better not goof
You about to cave in although you ain't on a roof
The rhythm track from offside's to angles
Playing the wimp fight resist … strangle
You can't escape until the DJ's fingers up
So play like a phone or coat and just hang it up
The speakers pumping out sounds and hip words
Lines between the rhythm designed to equip nerds
You better jam we don't care if you hardcore
Cause we got you trapped on the dance floor
Oh oh I'm trapped like a
I can't get out
Can't you see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused
I can't get out
Oh oh I'm trapped like a
I can't get out
Can't you see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused
I can't get out
Me and prince got together just to kick our lines
No trouble at the party cause we're strapped with nines
Dance floor secure, don't bother tryin to get out
You looking for the late AM this man pull red out
Nobody cause killing is mean
Got ya dancin' in the dark and dressed like Springsteen
Razzamatazz a pasazz about to rip the flesh is my man Jazz Fresh
Soon as I worked through the door
I got trapped on the dance floor
See this girlie that I never saw
She was looking raw
Came a little closer
Then I opposed her
Then I drop the fox trot so hot that I roast her
??? planes in the damn chain
hard to explain
I did it up like I was straight outta Soul Train
Listen as I discuss this yo bust this
Like a hammer before me you cant touch this
Trapped on the floor like a vulture
Part of my culture
You may even thought I was drived to faulter
Get live like a ???jack that fives you the window main???
Add a little mic and janet you cant understand it
Cause ??? thought I was from another planet
Way of whipping and dipping
And sliding ??? of what I'm providin
Other dancers go and hide
Like Charles ???
I'm prancin
I keep the dance all night until
The party's over the party's over
Like a cowboy at a rodeo
From mister mister dosie doe
Around the dance floor
Steppin the new hardcore
I'm Jazz Fresh and I'm trapped
Oh oh I'm trapped like a
I can't get out
Can't you see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused
I can't get out
Max up
to step up
just to keep this rap up
the time that he possesses the best in a contest
Jeff with his right and left like Jazz Fresh
No other than the brother the lover Jazzy Jeff
'm the one dance floor at the station
??? time around quarter to ten
times work hard
the customers scarred
your tickets to freedom
yo you ain't gonna need em
your sentence is 25 years to life
a ??? is your husband and wife
trapped behind the steel
the steel of the wheels
don't come to the party if you don't wanna know how business feels
I walk strong carry a big stick
Sell myself all packed and thick
When they sound the drum you know its time to roll
Might as well have fun there's no parol
I set a trap and caught you like a mouse
For times ahead no chance for a halfway house
Pump the bass in all sections
Prince, sid, and jazz my officers of correction
Cant' escape the floor cut the crime out
??? wall ain't no use tryin to climb out
cause I'm running this show and it's live in here
you try to escape another five years
I got you trapped and I'm your savior
You dance real hard you might get out on good behavior
But if you don't I give you more
'Cause DJ Jazzy Jeff got you trapped on the dance floor
Oh oh I'm trapped like a
I can't get out
Can't you see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused
I can't get out
Oh oh I'm trapped like a
I can't get out
Can't you see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused
I can't get out

Charlie Mack in the back, O-wiz on the dancefloor

Well, it's not that we're rowdy, rude, raunchy or loud
But a match into nitro is like my crew into a crowd
I'ma take a minute or maybe I'll take two
To introduce the Too Damn type posse to you
I'ma start the introductions with the man on my left
The undisputed, the greatest alive, my friend and my DJ, he's Jazzy Jeff
On a motorcycle tis next guy fell
He's my personal manager, he's the Hammer J.L.
And when I got flack, you know he got my back
He punched a hole in the wall on the way and broke a mirror, he's Charlie Mack
Down by law at each and every show
Nicknamed Al Decent but for short Aldo
And when something goes wrong this is where we go
His favorite line is 'Excuse me, hops', he's Ronny Polo
You met the crew and you know where we live
You met Omar, Money and my man Wiz
The posse is here in full effect tonight
Like gas we'll ignite cause we're Too Damn Hype
Too Damn Hype(go go go)
Too Damn Hype(go go go)
Too Damn Hype(go go go)
Too Damn Hype(go go go)

Too Damn Hype (go will go will) (come on come on)

Here's where I end off, this is your funky send-off
You say we didn't rock it? There'll be a doom call
Man, my posse is worldwide known
All the way from Philly to the streets of Rome
Too Damn Hype led by Jeff and the Prince
You're spending dollars and cents
We're spending pounds and pence
And yens and rubels and marks, you think I'm playin
Man, my posse is large, get what I'm sayin?
You met the whole crew and you know who I am
And if you wanna be down with us, follow the program
Come to the shows and play this jam every night
That's how you get to be down with the Too Damn Hype
Too damn hype
Too damn hype
And all the people on the left are
Too damn hype
And everybody on the right is
Too damn hype
And everybody in the back is

Too damn hype
Rockin somethin funky, it goes like this
Too damn hype
It's called the 'Too Damn Hype' and you know how we're livin
Too damn hype
And we're livin like every day's Thanksgiving
Too damn hype
And we're livin it up in the place to be
Too damn hype
Yo, Jeff too damn and me
Haha
For years I have been waiting and hesitating to make a rap record
That had the pace of a slow song, quiet storm, chillin while the fire is warm
You and your girl, with this record on your radio or stereo, I don't know
I love you so is what you'll be sayin, while this record's playin
You reminiscing and kissin your girl
Relax, lay back, unwind, cause now is time to chill
Setting the mood, by the use of this groove
Is an ingenious, perceptive, brilliant, a very clever move
Because the bassline, combined with the fresh rhyme at a slow tempo enticed passion to grow
But if it's not passion, for which you search then use the song as a massage after a hard day's work
And if it's true that music calms the savage beast
Play this cut in the jungle and put the lions to sleep
Take a deep breath, stretch, kick off your footwear
Put on the tape of this record, but beware
Caution, warning, it's your decision
There's nothin stronger that you can buy, without prescription
It's soothing, somewhat hypnotic
A rhythmic anaesthetic it's practically a narcotic
You want it we got it come get it we're widdit
Because it's all at the push of a button yo Jeff hit it
The objective of this musical extravaganza is to enlighten you stanza by stanza
Verse after verse have been precisely arranged
Rearranged and then changed until the best remained
The result being this incredible song
So for at least eight hours a day you'll have this record on
In the morning and at night in your room
And it's all through the afternoon you will be listening mentally rapped up in the cut
Some people will sit down and some will choose to get up
But whatever you choose just keep your ear to the wax
Because we got something def that other rappers lack
We haven't been able to put our fingers on what it is
But it's different and it's def and it appeals to kids and teens and adults and senior citizens too
And I'd be willing to bet that it appeals to you, too
So if you're not into rap give us a chance to change your mind and to make you dance
To this lyrical miracle this musical discovery
But yo I wanna chill for a second yo Jeff, cover me
It's like paradise, this music is nice
It makes you hot if you want it too, or twice as cold as ice
It brings love to the heart of a criminal
With this subliminal power, all the women'll flock while all the guys rocks, when it's on your box
It gained us a much bigger reputation than the White Sox
You may ask yourself are we that famous
Bust this, the Queen of Spain knows what my real name is
Our time is runnin short so I'll bid you farewell
You know this cut is so def that you have been overwhelmed
Be cool, be chill relax have no fear
I'm outta here
Ladies and gentleman you are about to enter the twilight zone
I was in a club, one friday
A lovely lady comes walking my way
She walked up and she said hello
I said hi, my names Joe
I was lyin', so was she
She said her name was Donny,
But her shirt said Marie.
She said you get to know me,
you'll never forget me
I said why, then she bit m.
Ouch!
That didn't hurt.
Kinda creepy
but she ripped my shirt.
She poisoned me I went to sleep.
Woke up at her house,
At the back of a jeep.
A Blazer, '89
Tinted windows,
I wish it was mine.
Oh, here it is,
But where are my keys?
There they are in the ignition.
I'm at her house.
It's a Tepee.
No, it's a cabin
No a skyscrapper.
No, its an igloo.
A shack.
Forget it, I'll go around back.
It's a castle, with a moat
How I get Across...Boat.
Shooo...I hate that sound.
I went inside,
Looked right, looked left.
There she is.
Oh, no Thats Jeff.
He's invisible.
I went downstairs.
It's a loft.
No, it's a dungeon!
There she is, doing aerobics.
No, yoga.
No, karate.
(You killed my teacher)
But what a body!
No, he wasn't there.
I'm tellin you I saw him
No, really I saw him
He was playing checkers.
No, Nintendo
Ok, I'm lying
There she is,
Watching T.V.
All My Children.
No, thats Cosby.
No, Speed Racer.
Shaft.
No, thats Kimba
My fault...the T.V.'s off.
There she is, what a doll.
No, that's Chucky from Child's play!
I kissed her,
And she told me this is home...
I had entered a dimension Called The Twilight Zone....
Anything can happen.
I'm rough like sandpaper,
Hard like algebra.
You should be glad that I was nice,
And I allowed ya to
Step on stage.
To kick your ryhmes off.
I tried to be nice,
But you mistook that for softness.
Now it's over' to hell with your opinion!
What I say goes from now on,
This is my dominion!
I dare any rapper to step on stage
Cause if you do you'll feel the force of my rage
I'm on a rampage psyche just kiddin
Jeff wanted to do that
But I didn't
I thought that it would make the record dumb
I guess I wasn't wrong
Mary had a little lamb
Her fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that mary went so did humpty dumpty
Jack and Jill went up a hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down,
And broke his crown
Hickory, dickory, dock
Got to use the bathroom now,
psyche, I was drafted.
(Intro/Chorus)
It's just the things that you do (5x)
The way you do the things you do
(Verse 1)
8:05, the alarm clock sound
I grab my shoe and turn the damn thing down
But now it's 9 o'clock and I still ain't up up yet
Work on time, yeah I admire the concept
You got me yearnin’ and I mean anticipating
Seeing you I can't wait and so not concentrate
My mind is blind of all the time, thinking of you
And the way you do things you do
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
I walk in the park for a midnight rendevous
For a slow dance, romance, my motive is see through
I wanna be with you
But I ain't hiding
A wave of love and I'm gliding and ridening
Things like that when you hear me
Sayin' sort of sounds like that same old cliché
Climbing the highest mountain and swimming the deepest sea
But I can't front, I want you to be want me
Cause baby when you grab me tightly
You send chills and tend to insight me
When you caress and fumble me lightly
Oh girl watch up cause she might be
Settin' yourself up the way that you tease me
Sooner or later you might have to please me
It's just something about you
The way you do things you do
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Now why oh why would an incredibly fly guy like me
Be chasing one lady
It's just something about you
The way you carry yourself when you're out you
Seem to have a sort of captivating style, I've parked the feelin'
But your whip is appealing
Since this is a subject that I brought up
I just mind as well admit that I'm caught up
It ain't the clothes that you're wearin'
Your perfume or the style that that your hair's in
It ain't your body, how slim your waist is
Your new jeans and how pretty your face is
But I feel funny when it close proximity
Make it wonder what's gettin' in to me
It's just something about you
The way you do the things you do
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
It's nothing that you do (2x)
The way you do the things you do
(Verse 4)
The mystery’s of this world I ponder
Just sittin' back let my mind wonder
What the, why the, who the, how the hell is this young lady
Drive me so crazy
Reply in thought pose like the thinker
I play you with kiss or a wink
Or a smile just to show you
It's something about you
The way you do the things you do
Come here, come here
Come on out, don't worry
You want me to chase you don't you?
Just come here, I've got you now
The way you do the things you
(Chorus)
It's just the things that you do
(the way you do the things you do) (10x)
(Bridge)
The way (repeated several times)
Instrumental
HE'S A NICE GUY
how ya doin
HE'S A NICE GUY
Good to see you
HE'S A NICE GUY
How ya momma and them
Mr. Niceguy relationship advice guy
Liked on the vices priceless smile
Look at the eyes got the look of a survivor
Husband, father
Dissed by Eminem but did it bother him (yup)
But he classy Big Will just get another 20 mil
And walk right pass E.
I'ma nice guy why ya'll harassing me, huh
On the radio they be over exaggerating
So blahzay with they lies
They be aggravating me, agitating me
But they waiting and hating me
They be making me crazy but I be taking it patiently
People be messing with me testing me F.ing wit me
I wanna send a message to them
Teach em a lesson quickly
Publicly addressing me, disrespecting me heavily
They better be lucky the way my blessings effected me
But aaaaaaaaaaaaah, Calm down Willy
You don't wanna drop the bomb now Willy
Keep a nice flow for your mom down in Philly
On the news you go if you blow and act silly, you know
HE'S A NICE GUY
(how you doin)
HE'S A NICE GUY
(good to see you)
HE'S A NICE GUY
Sometimes ya'll mistake nice for soft
So before I go off I just
RA RA RA RA RA RA RA RA
Will's sooo nice I'd let him date my daughter
Like he was a white guy
He's not like the rest, he's a private flight guy
Why if I were gay on Friday night I'd
Larry Elder (uncle Tom)
You lucky I didn't make you the whole damn rhyme
Wendy Williams, you don't know me
I'm not your punching bag
You gon blow me up girl you better leave me alone
Before I buy your radio station and send you home
Yo this is a warning shot over the bawl
Truth be told this ain't my style
You gotta understand some stuff a man can't allow
You better chill before you climb a tree you can't get down
Ok, people dissing Will sat on a wall
People dissing Will had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put none of their careers together again
Now I'm the Fresh Prince, and if you got good sense
You'll keep your distance, because my sole intent
Is to rock and shock the spot and give my all, which is a lot
And no, I'm not about to stop because I'm taking it to the top
A whole lot of people rap, but what good is that
If the rap that they're rapping is way off track?
I don't mean to attack you, but I'm cutting no slack
To those people that I hear saying meaningless raps
In actuality, I mean in reality
The words that you use are a mere formality
Vocabulary is not what it's about
The point that you're trying to get across is what counts
Cause when a lot of rappers rap, they try to use big words
But that's the most absurd thing I've ever heard of
They think that that's impressive, but when will they learn their lesson
That it's not the words that count, it's the message
They get a lot of big words out of some magazine
And nine times out of ten they don't even know what they mean
They stand up on the stage, huffing and puffin
Rappin for nearly an hour, but they're not sayin nothin
Really but a lot of jibberish
And I know that they all wish
They had access to fresh rhymes like this
I came to rock and shock and give my all, which is a lot
And no, I'm not about to stop because I'm takin it to the top
Fresh rhymes and a razzamatazz
Smooth power and grace and mucho pizzazz
Good looks and charm and personality
You punch it in your calculator, and it adds up to me
I know the same goes for the rest of my crew
My D.J Jazzy Jeff and Ready Rock C too
The ultimate combination of strength and prestige
My crew holds the key to fun and everything you need
To party all night, yes, it's you we will excite
The time is right, so don't fight it Suckers, please don't bite it
We came to rock and shock and give our all, which is a lot
And no, we're not about to stop because we're takin it to the top
I really hate to brag about him
But when people doubt him I have to stand up and tell the whole world all about him
'United we stand, divided we fall'
Is the moto of our crew and it is honored by all of us,
We pledge allegiance to the work we rehearse
And it enables us always to come out first
We came to rock and shock and give our all, which is a lot
Yo, Jeff, man, why don't you take it to the top?
We succeed every time we attempt
To rock the house, you've got to dance cause no one is exempt
From the rules set forth by us, of course you know
Stay out our way or behold the brute force of Me Jeff and Ready Rock C,
We're a trio, oh, you didn't know?
That means That there's three of us, one for all and all for one
And we're taking it to the top before we get done
I'm inclined to rhyme, anytime you'll find
It ain't a rapper with a mind as impressive as mine I insist on a rise and I despise a decline
On the day I descend, that's the day I resign I'm creating my trends and innovatin my rap
Why is that? I don't know, I guess I got it like that!
My personality extends beyond the realm of mediocre
My advice for life is, if you want somethin, go for it
Cause there's nothin that's beyond your grasp
Just set your mind to it, work hard, and you can have
Anything that you want, the sky is the limit
Stop lunchin around, get up and go get it
Cause I came a long way from the past till today
Now I'm never slowin down, ah-ah, no way!
I came to rock and shock and give my all, which is a lot
And no, I'm not about to stop because I'm taking it to the top
Intro/Chorus: *sung*
summer, summer, summertime
time to sit back and unwind
Verse One: Fresh Prince
Here it is the groove slightly transformed
just a bit of a break from the norm
just a little somethin' to break the monotony
of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
a little bit out of control it's cool to dance
but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
give me a soft subtle mix
and if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
and think of the summers of the past
adjust the base and let the alpine blast
pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime
Chorus
Verse Two: Fresh Prince
school is out and it's a sort of a buzz
a back then I didn't really know what it was
but now I see what have of this
the way that people respond to summer madness
the weather is hot and girls are dressing less
and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
riding around in your jeep or your benzos
or in your Nissan sitting on lorenzos
back in Philly we be out in the park
a place called the plateau is where everybody goes
guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
she turn around to see what you beeping at
it's like the summers a natural afradesiac
and with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
to hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
Chorus
Verse Three: Fresh Prince
it's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
hustle to the mall to get me a short set
yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
the temperature's about 88
hop in the water plug just for old times sake
break to ya crib change your clothes once more
cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4
sitting with your friends cause y'all remincise
about the days growing up and the first person you kiss
and as I think back makes me wonder how
the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
all the kids playing out front
little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
while the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion
then six o'clock rolls around
you just finished wiping your car down
it's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
it looks like a car show
everybody come lookin real fine
fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
every moment frontin and maxin
chillin in the car they spent all day waxin
leanin to the side but you can't spead through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
there's an air of love and of happiness
and this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness
Chorus
Yo he's full of it
Yeah
Yeah Yeah come on now

And you know its got to be
You know it's got to be
You know it's really, really, got to be
Now you know it's got to be on
Yeah
At 17 years old I started runnin' the streets
Man, I had some fun in the streets
11, 12, sometimes 1 in the streets
By 18 I started seeing the sun in the streets
My mom started trippin' on me
Like Will, you gotta choose your friends carefully
Like, I trust you but please call me
And when you have kids of your own you'll see
I'ma be here when all your friends won't
But I was busy hollerin'
Parents just don't,understand
Now here I am with a family
Runnin' the lines she ran on me
We ain't always see eye to eye
But Mom, on your principles
Now I rely, you got me tastin' my toes
CHORUS
I didn't know
Momma told me don't go down that road
But I gotta go where I gotta go
So take your fool telling me I told you so
I used to roll hard with this dude named Chuck
Rollin' in my car with this dude named Chuck
My Mommy really liked this dude named Chuck
She thought he was really and polite, Chuck
And me used to roll out faithfully, inevitibly
You see Chuck, you gon' see me
Like we on TV, the bosom is the buddy
Share food, clothes, and money, and hunnies
Flock like we was players from the NBA
Still hurts to recall the day I heard him say
To this girl named Mya
I was diggin', he told her I was a liar
Told her I be cheatin' on women
Breakin' hearts and grinnin'
He told her her life would be better with him in it
That's the friend I chose
CHORUS REPEAT
Momma used to say take your time young man
I ain't always gonna be there , holding your hand
But, you'll always know exactly where I am
And when I'm not there in my place
The Lord will stand Will
Study the world, only the wise succeed
And when you're eyes tell lies
Your heart should lead
You're gonna do dirt
We all gon' sin
But when you realize it, apologize
And never do it again
Mom told me don't rush to get old
If you got youth, truth clutched in your hold
It's like possiblities
Too much to behold
An emotional shield from life's blustery cold
Mom, all this stuff was hard you said was hard
Childish disregard cuz my head was hard
Now, no question opposed, ugh
CHORUS REPEAT
Intro Yo yo yo yo Yo yo yo yo (Ring my bell, ring my bell) Yo yo yo yo Yo yo yo yo (Ring my bell, ring my bell)
Verse 1:
I'm just a telephone call away
You can pick it up and call me any day
And Ima listen to all you got to say
Cause I'm the type of man that never turn a woman away
Think of this as an invitation
Your heart to mine in a conversation
So when things get to much to bare like The Jackson 5 'I'll be there'
Just call me up on the telephone
Call me up when you're all alone
And I'll give you a verbal massage
Until your man gets home
Or if you want to you know what you could do, well
You could always hop in your car and you could come and ring my bell
Chorus
Ring my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell, ring my bell) Ring my bell, ring my bell (Ring my bell) RI-I-ING!!!
Verse 2:
I hate to see you cry, tear after tear while this guy
Plays you like your life is a game
I've seen his type and there all the same
Breaking your heart without a care
Girl if I was in you shoes he'd be outta there
Your man is wak good for nothin' but flack
I'd tell him to pack and hit the road Jack
Who loves ya baby I do you know he doesn't care about you let him go
Where he at now? You don't know Layin' up under some
hold up wait just let me chill
no need for me to get ill
Cause yo I'm the best but yo time will tell
But I'll be here so ring my bell
Chorus
Verse 3:
Now I know this sounds like a fairy tale
But this ain't no children's book
I'm here, for you to take me dear
Just open your eyes and look at
What the future holds for you and if you lunch then you might ruin
Something great don't make a big mistake pay attention to what you're doing
Life is full of pitfalls, ups and downs
It's sort of a mission now you're on a rocky road
But you could get up just make that decision
That you want someone to love you adore you and hold you and treat you well
So when you're ready to be treated that way baby you can ring my bell
Chorus
(Repeat till fade)
In the beginning there were many
As time went on there became few
Now there is only one..
One man one DJ standing alone on Mount Olympus
Ladies and gentlemen, DJ, Jazzy Jeff
Alright, alright I reckon
Back up off of my DJ
Give him some room to operate here c'mon
Ay Jeff, this what we gettin ready to do right
Remember how we used to rock back home in Philly right
At all the house parties and all the ballrooms and stuff like that
Remember how we used to rip things up at like bart Room and Central High, and Overbrook High
And all them places like that
This what I want to do right
I want to give these people a little taste of how we used to rock
How we used to get on the wheels of steel

Mic check 1, 2.. this is dedicated to an old friend of mine, Michelle...
Ms. Holy Roller, new angel, got ya Bible out shoutin' and you're ringing a bell
mid-life, reborn, can't wait to tell, if I don't believe what you believe,
I'm going to hell...
I've been down with Jesus since Sunday school & Easter speeches
The Bible was survival, that's what my grandma would teach us
Since I was 5, I've been dying and trying to read it When I did I did, it redefined it
Now you was 34 when you found Jesus after your life fell to pieces
Wife two times, with two guys, now enlightened in speeches
Seemed to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacher
Took your whole life to reach you, now I'm a trifling creature
Come on, if I die right this second, I reckon that God would simply check
into my life & times, dissecting my rhymes, he'll see how I've been leading his troops
You can't do dirt your whole life then say "oops'!
Now where was Jesus, when you life then you was cheatin', when you was deceiving me?
Where was Jesus when you greedy, your lawyers was bleeding me?
Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man living with you?
Oh, wait he was with me, trying to keep me from killing you?
Now, where was Jesus when you was lying & you was betraying me?
When I was trying to make it, you was hatin' delayin' me, huh?
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrilling you,
Oh, he was he with me trying to keep me from killing you!
If I ain't know Jesus, ain't no telling where I would be
It's been nights I felt like feces; I needed to fight to release it
I'm in the limelight, it's hot & the heat is ceaseless,
Holding my tongue while little bums cut me to pieces
The only reason's cause I studied the life of Jesus &
Venting with my pen, intending to write & release it
But when an ex-friend would slight me or slam me with venom
I hate it, I can't stand it, damnit, I really resent it
I always strive to be righteous, my version of God
The reason why I never write verses with curses inside
The reason I never purposely hurt persons,
I've applied many teaching of God,
Searching the reaches of God
Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissing me,
I adore you all I hope for you is freedom from misery
You made mistakes & blunders, you breaking from under
But yo, If I'm going to hell, it's making me wonder.
The greatest atrocities ever committed on this planet have been in the
name of God
This country was founded by Puritans, for the expressed purpose of
oppression-free worship
Your attitude is the same arrogant, fearful fundamentalism that fueled the
hatred of the Crusades
& the attacks on 9/11.
If we are not allowed to worship God as groups & individuals free from
persecution, in respectful
We come to make it hot for ya (woof)
Come and get down for the black suits baby
Just let it loose up in here go crazy
The way you bouncin' and shakin' I know you feelin' me
So get up out ya seat come on and nod ya head with me (nod ya head)

(Ooh, Ohh)
Here I stand before you - brown.
Color of the mountains
Colossal as the earth
Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery
Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind
Here I stand before you, the color of the night
Frozen by the potential of me
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel
Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above
You on the prowl now, downtown, searchin for love
In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations
Hopin he with new hit single, is tryin to mingle
Today, he is in your town, puttin it down
You in the car with your friends, followin my limo around
Puttin a bug in my boy's ear, your "S" is for free
You'll do anything for Omar or Phil, bring you to me
And then me, hypnotized by the devil as well
Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel
No need to RSVP, place your hand in my palm
As all your girlfriends getting jealous, damn she landed the bomb
Willing to trade your spirit for some crass, whack wage
Something small, something simple as a pass back stage
But now I lay me, down to creep
And I - pray the Lord my soul to keep
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
Lil Bobby got a gun now, age fifteen
Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems
Rage inside, pride, been denied respect
He can't take it though he gotta earn it
But he ain't learned that yet
Out on the town, reckless abandon he's been bullied before
But now he straps, and no more
Attitude high
Flexin on every guy that walk by
But don't start pal
Cuz if the gun came from the whiz, Cowardly Lion, got heart now
Let's pull it on a stranger
Ahh, fun for the crew
Surprised when he realized, damn dude got one too
Smile's upside down now, games ain't so cute
Bobby's a deer in a headlights
Pump, drop it or I'll shoot
Then like a sniper, cleanin his rifle, Bobby disobeys his commands
One shot rings out (gunshot) then only the stranger stands
Could of sworn Bobby's blood formed the shape of an angel's wings
But for what?
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
Back in high school, Tamika was the sweetest, the bomb
Hot to death, though in tenth grade a teenage mom
Knocked up by some thug named Russ in the drug game
But had the cutest kid you ever seen
Then all the pressure from her mom
She stepped to Russ
Told him it's either them drugs or us
Either them thugs or us
The ultimatum, either continue bein a thug in the world
Or start lovin your girl
And say God, bear me witness, no doubt, lovin ya dear
But to go from $50 Gees a week to $30 Gees a year
That ain't happenin
I guess he wasn't that strong
He came back the next week, and the whole family was gone
Yo they straight moved away, without as little as a word
Well, needless to say, Russ was a little perturbed
Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend Shawn
And like a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone
Upstate Schenectady,
Tamika answered the door
It was the last person she expected to be
They just stared
He said you love me for me?
You can do without the cars, vacations, and jewelry?
Down with me?
Period.
Through life's stress and strife
She said, Yeah, He said in that case
Would you please be my wife?
Then like a sign from the sky, the baby cried
Like an angel sings
I love y'all more than anything
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
(Repeat Chorus)
Now I have a story that I'd like to tell
About this guy, you all know me I was scared as hell
He comes to me at night when I crawl into bed
He's burnt up like a weenie and his name is Fred
He wears the same hat and sweater every single day
And even if it's hot outside, he wears it anyway!
He's home when I'm awake, but he shows up when I sleep
I can't believe that there's a nightmare, on my street!
It was a Saturday evening if I remember it right
And we had just gotten off of tour last night
So the gang and I thought that it would be groovy
If we summoned up the posse and down watch a movie
I got Angie, Jeff got Tina
Ready Rock got some girl I've never seen in my life
That was alright though, 'cuz lady was chill
Then we dipped to the theatre set to ill
Buggin' , cold havin' a ball
And somethin' 'bout Elm Street was the movie we saw
The way it started was decent
You know, nothin' real fancy
About this homeboy named Fred
And this girl named Nancy
But, word! When it was over, I said, 'Yo, that was def!'
And everything seemed alright when we left
But when I got home and laid down to sleep
That began the nightmare, on my street!
It was burnin' in my room like an oven
My bed soaked with sweat, and man, I was buggin'
I checked the clock, and it had stopped at 12:30
It had melted it was so darn hot, and I was thirsty
I wanted something cool to quench my thirst
I thought to myself, Yo! This heat is the worst!
But when I got downstairs, I noticed something was wrong
I was home all alone, but the TV was on.
I thought nothin' of it as I grabbed the remote
I pushed the power button, and I then almost choked
When I heard this aweful voice comin' from behind, it said
'You are my favorite rapper, but now you must die!' (?)
Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was
Broke inside my drawers and screamed, 'So long 'cuz!'
Got halfway up the block, I calmed down and stopped screamin'
And thought, Oh, I get it, I must be dreamin'
I strolled back home with a grin on my grill
I'm thinkin' since this is a dream, I might as well get ill
I walked in the house, the big, bad, Fresh Prince
But Freddy killed all that noise real quick
He grabbed me by my neck and said,
'Here's what we'll do. We've got a lotta work here, me and you,
The souls of your friends, you and I will claim.
You've got the body, and I've got the brains.'
I said, 'Yo, Fred. I think you've got me all wrong.
I ain't parnters with nobody with nails that long.
Look, I'll be honest man, this team won't work
The girls won't be yours, Fred, your face is all burnt'
Fred got mad and his head started steamin'
But I thought what the hell, I'm only dreamin'
I said, 'Please leave Fred, so I can get some sleep.
But gimme a call, and maybe we'll hang out next week.'
I pat him on the shoulder, say, 'Thanks for stoppin' by.'
Then I opened up the door and said, 'Take care, guy!'
He got mad, threw back his arm, and slashed my shirt
I laughed at first, then thought, Hold up...that hurt.
It wasn't a dream, man, this guy was for real
I said, 'Freddy, uh, uh, there's been an aweful mistake here.'
No further words, and then I darted upstairs
Crashed through my door then jumped on my bed
Pulled the covers up over my head and said,
'Oh please, do somethin' with Fred!'
He jumped on my bed and threw the covers with his claws
Tried to get me...but my alarm went off. and then
Silence
It was a whole new day, I thought.
Heh...I wasn't scared of him, anyway.
Until I noticed those rips in my sheets
And that was proof that there had been a nightmare, on my street.
Oh man, I gotta call Jeff, I gotta call Jeff
C'mon, c'mon...
C'mon Jeff, answer!
C'mon man
Jeff: Hello...
Prince: Jeff, it's Prince man, Jeff, wake up Jeff, wake up!
Jeff: What do you want?!
Prince: Jeff, wake up, man. Listen to me. Jeff
Jeff: It's 3 O'clock in the morning, what do you want?
Prince: Jeff, listen, Jeff, would you listen to me? Whatever you do, don't
fall asleep.
Jeff: Man!
Prince: Jeff..listen to me. Don't go to sleep
Jeff: Look, I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'm goin' to bed
AGHH.....AGHHH
Prince: Jeff! Jeff! ..........Jeff, answer me, Jeff!
Freddy: I'm your D.J. now, Princy...HA HA HA
I'd like to know, are you really for some super-dynamite sou
Introducing the world's greatest entertainer
The amazing Mr. Beat-Beat himself
The hardest working beatbox in show business
Ready Rock
(Ready, Ready Rock, Ready Rock C)
Tell em your name, tell em your name
(Ready Rock, Ready Rock, Ready Rock, Ready Rock C)
Ooh that was nice Ready
(Ready Rock)
Ready Rock
Hey man, hold up man
I think I wanna tell em a little about this man
Aight break it down Ready, break it down
Please pay attention, to my rhymes so I can tell you all about this pal of mine
He's my buddy, my best friend
When it's a beat I need it's a beat he'll lend
I wanna take time-out, to talk about him
Cause frankly I don't know what I would do without him
We work together like a medical crew
When I'm backin Ready up (I'm backin Prince up too)
Tryin to beat us, that doesn't make any sense
He's Ready Rock C, and I'm the Fresh Prince
In the rap industry we're ranked at first
Ain't a better combination in the whole universe
So if you wanna battle your future looks muddy
That you just can't beat, my buddy
Word, break it down break it down Ready
We've won so many battles, people think it's a trick
That when the crowd gets to judge it's US that they'll pick
They see Ready's face and then they hear my voice
To choose us as the winners is the natural choice
Because battle after battle we remain on top
Cause it's not the way we look, it's the way that we rock
So if you thought you wanted to battle, bust this rhyme
Just keep it and I'm sure that I can change your mind
There was ten wack dudes trying to play high post
One crew got bold and they began to boast
But said, Y'all shut up and get back in line
But they refused (what happened now) So now there's nine
Nine wack crews tryin to rock like this
They were bitin my rhymes and just couldn't resist
I said please stop bitin, please don't imitate
But they kept on bitin, so there's now there's eight
Eight wack crews poppin big time trash
Telling us that in a battle we can't last
The battle started at 10:30 and by quarter of eleven was no longer eight crews (how many was their)
There was seven
Seven wack cruise in a football huddle
Trying to figure out their next rebuttal
They came out strong you'd think their The Ultimate but we just dissed em and dismissed, so now there's six
Six wack groups, tryin to be tough
Who the hell told em they could rock the mic like us
We got straight down the business didn't pop no jive
We just blew em out, so now there's five
Five wack crews lined up in the hallway
All perpetrating like they're read to play
My secretary walked out, she asked for one more
They got scared, and left, so now there's four
Four wack crews outside playing around
I said I'll take you wall on, now how does that sound?
Not one had heart enough to pick up that mic
I said, okay I'll let you go, psych
That's the moral, of this story
Never try to take me and Ready Rock's glory
Cause if you do your future looks muddy
Cause you just can't beat me and my buddy
Haha word, uh
Yeah Ready Rock, hold up hold up hold up

Mmm say baby, you got some fries to go with that shake
Ay what are you man Yo man, that is no way to talk to a woman man
Man I been talkin to girls, man what are you talkin about
That girl looks good
Man look, you just, you buggin man, you know what you said
Okay, okay, alright you show me how to talk to a lady
Aight, bet, uhh sweetheart
Listen up toots I like your looks
I used to see girls like you in them girlie books
I'm losin my mind, but it's not lost yet
I'd pay a thousand dollars just to see your silhouette
Red is the rose's color, blue is the violet's
Here's my number baby, when you get home, dial it up
I'll be your man and you can be my lady and you can come to my house, and we can get busy baby
Girl forget about your boyfriend, he's nothin but a hassle
You can come with me and cold chill in my castle
Oh what a wonderful time it would be, imagine you and me, in my jacuzzi
Or horseback riding or we can play tennis
But, the most intimate part will be when it's time to eat dinner, we'll go get dressed
And then we'll give a call to antoin my private chef
First we'll eat crab legs, by candlelight
Then sip wine by the fire for the rest of the night
And if the time is right, I'll ask you to be my lady and we can dip right upstairs and get busy baby
You know since I first met you,
I wanted to let you know how I felt, so I could get you to treat me like a phone and take me off hold
And make your hero come so I can pour my heart and soul
I can't help but dream about the ultimate life
Two kids, a dog, a goldfish and you as my wife
We'd have a rosebush with a white picket fence
And all the neighbourhood kids would call me Mr. Prince
And on the lazy Saturday afternoons
Right after me and the kids get finished watching cartoons
We could send them both outside to go playin
And we could spend some time upstairs, get what I'm sayin
The only problem, that we would have is whether or not to drive the Porsche, the Benz, or the Jag
And every night before bed, flip the radio on and sip Dom Perignon to the quiet storm
Gucci, Louis Vuitton, you want more
Gloria Vanderbilt or Liz Claiborne or Christian Dior from head to foot
The world is yours if you'll be my toots
Oh I know what your problem is
Look those other chicks are just good friends
I'll give up my harem if you'll be my lady
C'mon what do you say, ha
Let's get busy baby
Look, be honest, come on, don't lie
Tell the truth I'm a hell of a guy, right
Pretty smile, light brown eyes
I've got miles on them other guys, face it
You could search America, Russia or Germany but never will you find another man equivalent to me
But let's discuss it, perhaps over lunch about how I'll be your poopsie, and you will be my hunnybunch
Now isn't that special
Why ain't you widdit?
You'll be my only girl, yeah, that's the ticket
Life's a risky business, babe you know the deal
Sometimes you just gotta say what the hell
Now is that time, roll for the money
Life is a gamble but I'm a sure thing honey
Girl, you know you driving me crazy
So how bout it come on let's get busy baby
(THIS IS A TRUE STORY)
Loretta, wrote a love letter to a stranger thought that he would change her life
Thought she would be his wife OH Loretta
Never ever meant him no danger, her love for his sustained her
Thought that he would change her life
Miss Loretta, a young girl, I never really met her,
A fun girl, a real go-getter, I heard a gold Jetta
A full with books & herb or so I'm told, hooked on my every word
Oh so bold, a love letter cleverly worded in a jacket pocket
Wrapped inside a platinum locket
In the shape of a heart with pictures of me
Had it inscribed, "no us, no him then no me
She fell in love with the Prince of Bel-Air
Fantasy was to see me & to be with me there
So she wrote a love letter to me & then she signed it Loretta
Said, "I gotta go get him, Will is my Soulmate"
We gotta be together how could we not be together
But wait if I send the letter I mean how will I be sure if they give it to him
What if they don't give it to him, that would ruin everything
I gotta take it to him myself
She packed all that she owned into the back of her Jetta,
her backpack, her cellphone & a love letter
Most of her stuff was done up with pictures of me on it with a phrase "It's gonna be" on it
Her mother begging her please come home & then Loretta resenting her
Leave me alone Ma! I won't leave my destiny unfulfilled
"You're just jealous be cause Daddy ain't as sweet as my Will",(click)
To the front gate at NBC, in June & July, backstage at MTV,
she would drive anyplace that they'd mention I'd be
Told herself, "strive for love & God eventually
he would give me to her & her to me, this was meant to be
14 months outside every event that I'd be at, she'd still keep missing me
& now she's getting high with more frequency now
rage rumbling inside got to be with me now
then she heard I married Jada, she took her love letter out & wrote down,
"PS - I hate her."
Kodak Center, where the Oscars is at, she's sleep getting woke up by the cops in the back
By a dumpster didn't even greet 'em with fear, grinning ear to ear, said "my husband meeting me here"
"You know him, he's nominated for his flick 'Ali' & it'll be hell to pay if you pick on me!"
"Don't put that stick on me!", "Hell no I'm not leaving, get your hands
off me. Don't make those things click on me"
Kicking & screaming, "You intervening, this is fate. Mister. What you mean that I ain't?"
"What you mean it seems like I ain't"
"Ooh, your like my Mom & our love is gonna survive ya'll hate. God gon' take me to my destiny."
"Ya'll only seeing one side of me, Will gon' see the rest of me, he gon' see the best of me."
Mic check, mic, mic, mic, mic, mic, mic
Uh gimme more heat
Uh gimme more heat
Uh, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah
1 - Everybody in the front now (whoot, whoot)
Everybody in the back now (whoot, whoot)
Everybody on the side now (whoot, whoot)
La fiesta (whoot, whoot)
All the ladies in da house now (whoot, whoot)
All the fellas in da house now (whoot, whoot)
Everybody in the house now (whoot, whoot)
La fiesta (whoot, whoot)
If I approach you correctly
And step up to you respectfully
Will you please ma'am bless me with the next dance?
I don't intend to offend you
I only intend to befriend you
But you're willing me, thrilling me, killing me
With those hot pants, not a chance
I'mma let you go without saying something
A little hotter in the bottom mama that's all that I'm wanting
No frontin' if it is illegal for you to be that fine
I be McGruff mama taking a bite out of crime
Literally, first it'll be dancing with me
Then it'll be dinner with me
Then it'll be back to my crib
Hold up, I'm about to get ahead of myself
And I'm playing myself
The type of brother that when I'm thinking of stuff
I'm saying the stuff
My bad, back it up let's start with a dance
On good behavior, maybe later
Maybe your apartment, your pad
Sike, joke, walking a tight rope
My foot in my mouth
Look, all I hope is that you'll dance with me
What's up?
Repeat 1
She was smiling I was kind wiling
Thinking I was dialin' in
She gave me the impression that she was getting my message
So I'm testing
I through it out there ‘Let me buy you a drink'
Cause when I buy you I think it'd be fly if we link
What'cha think?
She responded with a grin and a glance
Then my eyes tried to seduce her to the forbidden dance
The body of a Latin goddess, sexy but modest
The hottest mami chula from Cuba, a cutie with promise
The other night I seen her dancing
Duty was over
She did a split into a spin
And put her leg on his shoulder
And he was over
If that was me and I was he
We'd probably still be dancing
Mami can you feel me?
Still she said nothing
Why she be fronting?
Never seen another mami move like you
Groove like you
I'm saying I wanna dance with you
What's up?
Repeat 1
To me when I'm dancing it's aphrodisiatic
It's automatic that I look in your eyes to help fantasize
Some people dance socially not emotionally
Closer to me, come on close as you can be
(Can you feel me?)
Come on mama cut me no slack
(Can you feel me?)
Come on mama forward and back
(Can you feel me?)
Come on mama as hard as you can
It's part of the plan
It happens when you start with the man
On your mark, ready set, baby let's go
Baby let's flow, baby let go
Baby no, no, gotta a lot more
Lettin' it rip, gimme some of that
*girl yells*
Yeah that's it
Sweatin' with me, getting it wetter with me
It's better with me
Gain it, other girls I dated ain't famous
So take it or leave it
Just the way that I eat it
I bring, I swing it
So you like that?
Tell me what's up
Ugh, Ugh, I'm comin'
Watch ya back, I'm comin...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Big Will for the Y2K, ugh
Feel the Earth tremble, see the skies turn red
Eclipses, shooting stars, turn ya head
Volcanoes erupted, rage in the sea
Ain't the second coming of Christ
The first coming of me
They say if you downward the Nile
It would throw off the rotation of the Earth
Well, messing with me is worse
Feel the rain, button up you overcoat
Watch the illadelph bad boy go quote for quote
Well, ya'll want the best, well, I'm right here
You looking for competition, ain't no one near
Ya'll in the stands dissin', kickin' dirt and missin'
My heavenly flows put MC's in hell's kitchen, ugh
And I'm so, I'm so hot, hot, ya'll burnin' up, HOT
I step in, it's like the wedding between Hope and Armaggedon
The Hip Hop Moses to where we headin' y'all
I'm comin', I'm comin,
You can't stop me, you can't stop me,
I'm comin', I'm comin',
Can't hold me back, uh uh,
I'm comin', I'm comin,
You can't stop me, you can't stop me,
I'm comin', I'm comin'
When I was born there was a rainbow formed with no sun
Roy G Bid marking the path for the chosen one
An angel, my grandma, told me before she died
Smart folks don't need to put no cursing in they rhymes
So from CD to TV to movies back to rhymin'
My lifestats makes Jordan's six rings seem common
Ya'll hate, I retaliate, just by being great
Big Will the enemy of your mental state
With the same rhyme I used to burn your idol in a battle
To subdue you into saying, Look, I don't wanna battle,
MIB, W3 mad respect
Black stealthbombarama, but y'all can't detect that
I'm comin' is what I screamed
As a teen armed with discipline, faith, and a dream
After smoke clears, after life's roller coasters
See who stands putting his mic into his holster, what!
I'm comin', I'm comin,
You can't stop me, you can't stop me,
I'm comin', I'm comin',
Can't hold me back, uh uh,
I'm comin', I'm comin,
You can't stop me, you can't stop me,
I'm comin', I'm comin'
Batten down the hatches and latch the doors
You wanna try to match my whits with yours
Three hits, I hit you, you hit the floor
This track is the third hit, that's for sure
Beat thick reminiscin' of a bodacelli
I'm like a cheetah huntin' out on the Serengeti
I got my X-ray vision through all in my way
No Plan B, it distracts from Plan A
Stage splitting in half, earthquake style
Evacuate your premisses, the hardcore nemesis
I never miss, my flow never flawed
Grab mics and send electric shocks through the cord
Quest for the rings my only weapon's intuition
My future position's determined by past decisions
So young George Bush, I'm thinking bout runnin'
Maybe not this time, but trust dude, ugh
I'm comin', I'm comin,
You can't stop me, you can't stop me,
I'm comin', I'm comin',
Can't hold me back, uh uh,
I'm comin', I'm comin,
You can't stop me, you can't stop me,
I'm comin', I'm comin'
[Tra-Knox]
Comin', comin', you can't stop me,
Comin' comin', can't hold me back, no.
Comin', comin', you can't stop me,
Comin' comin', can't hold me back.
Comin', comin', you can't stop me,
Comin' comin', can't hold me back, no.
Comin', comin', you can't stop me,
Comin' comin', can't hold me back.
Spill the beans on the table I always say…

He’s sort of a fifty-one year old Casanova
He said son, 'Yo, come on over.'
He sat me down and he told me this
Son when your all that, you’re gonna get dissed
He put his arms around me and he said son
I was all that when I was young

hey...hey Leroy...Leroy yeah did you hear about that boy Mike Tyson?
Mike...Mike Tyson he's the boy that played football from Montreal ain't he?
no no you old coop, he a...he a boxer man yeah let me tell ya I went to his fight a couple months ago.
I seen him hit this boy, and he hit the boy so hard his head flew off into the eigtheenth row (laughing) they had to get his head out of the eighteenth row
[Prince & Jeff] I was in Jeff's crib one night about eight and we were watchin'a couple of Mike Tyson fight tapes Jeff was like... man, you see how hard Mike's punchin'?
come on Jeff the other guy was just lungin'
left, right, left, right, another K.O. if that was me I'd a been ok though
the very next day I gave Russell a ring with J.L. and Omar we all called Don King
I said 'yeah, Don I got a problem
tell 'em Prince 'yeah what's up? what you sayin? you tryin' to solve 'em?'
'forget the small talk let's get to the nitty gritty' 'me and Mike, two months, Trump, Atlantic City'
yo, you got this you gonna bust dude up
yeah, you can be my trainer word up?
I'm rough like a freight train smooth like ice and yo Jeff, straight up, I think I can Mike Tyson
man, you can beat him, you can beat him yo man, word up yo I put on a couple of pounds man we can do this you can do it
Newspaper boy: extra, extra read all about it Fresh Prince challenges Iron Mike Tyson to a fight (laughing) ah he's crazy
ain't that the boy who knocked the guy's head in the fifthteen row?
hey Leroy, you read the paper? that boy done lost his mind
[Prince, Barber] there was press conference to see what training I was doing
before then I had never heard reporters booing
cameras flashing I was in the middle
I didn't wanna look dumb so I exagerrated a little
I said uh I been training 2o hours a day lifting big old cars and big bails of hay (that's what he's doin')
and I run 10,000 miles every morning thinkin' about Mike and my moment of glory (tell 'em more)
I drink water 20 gallons a pop and I can throw a Volkswagon a whole half block (he can do it too)
and 4 million sit ups...in a minute.... ..I ain't lying I did it (he done it)
the general public thought I was a fool
I was gettin' dissed but I guess that was cool
well gettin' dissed is never good
but I was even gettin' dissed in my old nieghborhood
I was at the corner at the top of my block there was a couple of people standing outside of the barber shop
it was Larwence, my barber, and Franny he yelled out hey, Prince, you can win!
I said 'really?' and I stopped to chat
you could beat him man, if you hit him wit a bat ha ha...you gon' get whipped but can I have your shoes when he break your neck?
everybody was laughin' out loud I thought at least my own Grandma would be proud
I went to her house and snuck in to surpise her I heard her on the phone (a thousand bucks on Tyson)
[Prince, Ring Announcer] it's fight day and man am I hyped boy I can't wait to see Mike
boy I'm hyped ready to be my thing Trump Castle Casino
in this corner...weighing in at a mere 165 pounds, the Lighting Rodent, the Fresh Prince! (booing)
and in this corner... the heavyweight champion of the world... Iron Mike Tyson (cheering)
I came out hustling sliding and grabbing slippin' and dippin' hustlin' and jabbin'
for a second I looked good out there but then Mike brought to reality my worst nightmare
one punch, that's all it took (oooh) he hit me in my ribs and my insides shook
now how can I say this and be a little discreet let's just say that my bowels released
I called timeout and went back to my corner
said to my coach 'ain't no way I'm goin' the hell back out there, man you can't forget it'
my body's like a punchin' bag and Mike is gonna (hit it)
they tried to make me go meet my doom but I sucker punched my coach and hauled to my dressing room
the next day the headline in the town 'Fresh Prince breaks camp, Tyson wins first round'
some fool asked why I ran away I said 'a good run is better than a bad stand anyday'
my career is over as far as fightin' but I don't know what made me think I can beat Mike Tyson
2 old men: hey Leroy! yeah did you see the fight?

Uh excuse me charlie mack please handle this
Charlie you need to stop grabbing up on me anyway this is keith b real be right back
Each and every day when I come home from school
Like clockwork I go up into my bedroom
I secure the door and it's the moment of truth
I flip on my sound system and let the bass loose
The earthquake bass makes the walls all tremble
A discotheque is what my room resembles
How loud it gets to me it does not matter
I open up the windows so the glass don't shatter
The blast falls off my neighbour's wall
My phone rings of the hook with complaint phone calls
But I just let it ring and I don't go near it
I turn the volume up so that I can't hear it ring
My ear drums rumble my lungs vibrate
I'm in my own world and this realm is great
We rock this power at my command
The decibels exceed the limits human ears can stand
The lower frequency better known as bass
Sitting nice with the treble at a jazzy pace
My neighbours complain they say they can't endure
They form a congregation outside my front door
Mothers who yell saying its too loud
Start banging on my door to turn it down
My response to my mother when she starts knockin
Is come on mum I'm just rockin
(rockin)
(ready rock c)
This style that's mine is rarely heard
Suddenly there is an opportunity to observe
People gots my rhyme the super computer
The literary genius rhyme ruler of the future
I'm the fresh prince slaying all emcee
So hold the red cup when we take to your knees
Pay home submit you can't defuse my scheme
Cause I'm the fresh prince and this is my regime
To all other rappers you're being subdued
I don't mean to be rude but this is my prelude
This introductory performance has just one plot
A sample jeff and about me and my DJ rocks
I'm not listening to reason so don't try to talk
Do yourself a favour and take a walk
Or I'll amputate your mic and repossess your core
I'm the man salute to the prince the power lord
My friends I'll mangle you if we tangle put my arms in your asophogus and I'll strangle you
I'm the messiah or rhymes the verbal gladiator
I'm like a bomb and my turbo is the detonator
The crown chief of the poetry industry
Vocabulary that to others is a fantasy
highly respected by the public at large
The prince will rock is taking charge
I'm like a tiger in a battle field I'm invincible
You want a battle me man be sensible
I'll never submit to any other emcee
Be a duel to the death either him or me
And as I verbalise to my DJ's cut
If we kill a wack crew or two so what
We just rock it
We just rock it
DJ Jeff
Break 2
On each occasion that I perform
The force captures my body like a magical storm
Suddenly I'm rendered helpless in a state of shock
But it is rather abrupt when I start to rock
Adrenalin rushes my ego swells
And the yells of the crowd make my hype excel
My metabolism quickens my body gets sense
That's when I metamorphosise into the royal fresh prince
And as I display all my lyrical beauty
You become a slave as your hype increases
And as I vocalise I can see it in your eyes
You stand up as your enthusiasm levels rise higher and higher beyond the mark of red
You scream oh my to what the prince just said
As my energy is drained from being so crushed
All of a sudden I get another adrenalin rush
It happens each and everytime that my dj spins
More commonly known as my second wind
The spotlights are beaming
You are screaming
From my body all the sweat is streaming
Commanding the stage
And perpetually frayed
Giving my all to the pulse of
One hundred percent everytime I rhyme
When I step off the stage that's when the stop
And that has been the account of the evenings events
Reporting to you live by me the fresh prince
I'm the latest that you heard so you may seem shockin
(what does it all mean)
I'm just rockin
Rockin rockin rockin
Go crazy
(fresh)
have you ever in your life experienced a day
where nothing at all seems to go your way
no matter how hard you try to get out of the rut
you just could not break the string of bad luck
a day where Murphy's law takes over your life
and you just can't seem to do a darn thing right
and when the day was over you just had to say
you said man it's just one of those days
my day started off kind of cool
I brushed my teeth I comed my hair and I got dressed and went to school
I stopped at the store for a breakfast snack
a tasty cake and orange juice and a bubble yum pack
about that point I proceeded to class
I spoke to all the pretty girls that I passed
I went to my room which was on the first floor
I had no idea what I was in for
I sat in my desk and minded my own business
someone knocked on the door the teacher said who is it
this girl walked in my imigination ran wild
she stole my heart just by the way that she smiled
I couldn't resist so I grabbed her butt
she said what's wrong with you fool are you some kind of nut
the teacher turned around while my arm was extended
she looked me in the face and said Prince you're suspended
I said your tripping it's just a bad habit
she put it in my face she must've wanted me to grab it
I pleaded my case but she wrote the pink slip
then I just shoke my head I said I don't beleive this
she sent me to the head of the discipline staff
I tried to play it off so I started to laugh
I said ha ha this story is great
it's a big misunderstanding one big mistake
he didn't think that it was funny he didn't even smile
he said mmm mmm mmm you're an unlucky child
I stopped laughing and I said why is that
he said just get out my school and don't you ever come back
I said wait this is my school and you're telling me to leave it
he handed me my books and said yep you'd best beleive it
as I walked out the school back at the wall I did gaze
and said man it's just one of those days
I woke up around a quarter to eight
I wiped the sleep from out my eyes and I was feeling great
I flipped my radio on and to my utter surprise
I thought that it was eight o'clock but it was half past nine
I hopped up and put my feet on the floor
ran to the bathroom then I (ow) hit my foot on the door
the pain was immense as it started to throb
I said to hell with broken toes I was losing my job
so I combed my hair then I brushed my teeth
threw on my Fila suit and my Fila sneaks
threw on my Fila underwear and my Fila hat
then I ran downstairs and kicked the fila cat
I grabbed my jacket then I grabbed my keys
then I prayed out loud car start please
the car started but what good was that
I couldn't drive it anyway because the tires were flat
I did the hundred yard dash to the top of my block
then I grabbed a dollar bill from my left sweat sock
the bus pulled up I was late and kind of nervous
I got real mad because the sign said out of service
I started hiking it I wasn't liking it
I saw a little kid I stole his bike and started biking it
I thought I got away but when I ducked around the corner
there was twelve cop cars I said I'm a goner
slamed on the flat I did 180 turn
peddled the bike so fast I heard the rubble burn
with the cops in hot pursuit I started feeling like a jerk
I thought man all of this cause I was trying to get to work
I could've got away I almost had 'em shook
til this girl walked by something said not to look
but I thought what the heck a little peek can't hurt
but she made me miss the sign that said men at work
I screamed out loud as I crashed through the baracade
I saw my whole life flash before my face
I felt kind of dizzy all I saw was stars
I put my hands over my eyes and settled on the handle bars
that was stupid I got off track
cause about that point everything went black
the next thing I remember is a head ache nagging
I woke up face down in the back of a paddy wagon
I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dead
a big Flinstone lump on the side of my head
they took my picture and my finger prints
I said wait you can't arrest me I'm the Fresh Prince
I demand that you release me you incompetent fool
you can't arrest me I'm the Prince you know the rules
you got five seconds 'fore I punch out your lights
but then the cop pulled out his gun I said ha ha psyche
I had a call so I called my boss
I figured I might as well what else could be lost
boss I'm sorry that I couldn't make it today
he said what are you talking about you're off today is Saturday
stuck in a cell scared as hell
I'm a hungry kind of tired and I hate this awful smell
maybe one day I'll get smart and change my ways
but for now it's just one of those days
it's just one of those days
The F-L-Y guy
About to toss some action
Here I go again with a groove to move you
Somethin’ kinda smooth, you can bop your head to
Chill it, the feel, you can play it anytime
Its smooth, is the groove, play it back behind the rhyme
So please, put a freeze, on hooving and hollering
Fans deserve more, for their hip-hop dollar, man
And I’m just the rapper to deliver
The rapper that can give a
Funky rhyme, flowing like a river
Silky, silky, kind to the ear
Diction perfect, rhymes all clear
Tempo moderate, this ain’t no marathon
Step back, new jack’s, observe the paragon
Ha, who? what?, why?, when?
Don’t be looking around clown, that’s right, I’m back again
With the dopeness, you’re head is bopping isn’t it?
Yeah I thought so. Yo, I’m just kickin’ it.
Yeah---
Just kickin’ it’ –Yeah, Yeah
I’m just kickin’ it
I really cannot kick it
Just kickin it
Jus watch me y’all; I’m jus kickin it – kickin it
Uh Just kickin it
Yeah, yo I’m just kickin’ it
Just kick, and just kick it
Just kickin it -Ooh
Prepare for a voyage, just close your eyes
Who ain’t ready, holler out I
Well ain’t nobody hollering, ‘cause all is perfect
The groove is a wave, and my rhyme’s a surfing
The track design
With a rhyme in mind
Bidi budup up up, the charges will climb
Every young rapper trying to get you to jump
But when you’re all done jumpin’, I’m a git you what you really want
Track by track displaying my ability
The man, FP, showing true dexterity
On the Mic, no rules are lawless
Wicked, and a kicker and my rhymes are flawless
So sit back, relax and allow me to rock ya
With a hit that you’re gonna get mentally locked to
A hip-hop solid and all flow, flower
I post up, together, better than Noah
A cut, to kick it too, kind to the ear drum
All true poetry, for me y’all be hearin’ some
So extra, extra, read all about it
I slam a the hell out of those that doubt it
I’m rippin’ every city I been in
Coast to coast, not to boast, but I’m winning
My fans are powerful, and that’s the way I’m living
All about effort y’all
Yo, I’m just kickin’ it
Uh Just kickin’ it
Yeah, yeah, I’m just kickin’ it
Just kickin’ it
Come on. Come on, I’m just kickin it
Just kickin’ it
Now, I’m just kickin it’
Just kickin’ it – Just kickin’ it
Let’s take a trip, mellow out while I’m rappin’
Ya mind is the boat, and my rhyme’s the captain
So hoist a sail, and its time to flow
To a place that other rappers don’t go
Welcome, welcome, into my territory
Everbody get on up, and get busy for me
Heads are boppin hard and fast
And now I’m getting’ sued ‘cause my groove caused whiplash
Everytime a rhymer tried to
Say something smooth, that’ll move inside you
The way that you should feel when you hear a real rap
Is trapped in the rhyme and your climbing to the climax
A lyrical painter, the fresh prince
And y’all a know of my Picasso essence
Musical passion, lovely isn’t?
But ain’t nothin’ to it
Yo, I’m just kickin it
Just kickin’ it- Just kickin’
Check me, check me, just kickin it
Just kickin’ it- Just kickin it
Like Pronto y’all, I’m just kickin’ it
Just kickin’ it
Uh, I’m just kickin’ it
Just kickin’ it
Yo, I’m out
Just kickin’ it
Just kickin’ it
Just kickin’ it
Just kickin’ it
Laa-aha
Just kickin’ it
He-he-he-ha
Just kickin’ it
Just kickin it
Just kickin it
Just kickin’ it
*hip-hop*
*chance to rock*
*Jeff waz on the beat box*
There was a party the other day
Around my way
They asked if me and Jeff would play
We said okay
We nipped out to get the hip hop apparatus
Came back with the posse in full effect status
While Jeff set up, I said 'check one two y'all'
Everybody clap lets begin to ball
I was rapping a capella but I had to stop
Because chaos broke because Jeff waz on the beat box
Just cut it up Jeff
*hip-hop*
*chance to rock*
*Jeff waz on the beat box*
Did you know that parties were all the same when we came up
We had to rearrange and make a change
I remember how it was people standing still
The music was wack so they chose to get ill
People started breaking and fights would start to break out
This is the reason why some people make out
Hip-hop to be bad
Because of this behaviour
Then like a miracle two musical saviours
One with a microphone
The other with tables
Both up ready both willing and able
Burst on the scene like TNT
People said, 'who can it be?'
Cant you see it's Jeff and me
We all blazed as musical scholars
Fast admiration ??? dollars
Couple of kids with a bright idea
Didn't want a 9 to 5 made rap careers
People tried to diss and make the egos shrink
But we believe in ourselves so to hell what they think
Moving like a freight train we can't be stopped
Especially when I'm on the microphone and Jeff is on the beat box
*hip-hop*
*chance to rock*
*Jeff waz on the beat box*
Yo cut it up Jeff
Scratched 'hip-hop'
I know I talk about Jeff a whole hell of a lot
But straight up man you gotta give him his props
There's not many people who can do what he does
Marly Marl, Teddy Riley and herbie the luvebug
But other than that there's not many around
That can take that box and make it sound
Like anything that you could possibly want
Now heres a rhyme that sums it up
Jeff is diggy diggy d dope and
You DJ's out there keep hopin
His beat boxers will be broken
But you might as well just keep hopin
????
You think he can your mis-taken
Our records he is brizzeakin (breakin0
(Come on man you can mix)
Grammy winning musicians
His beat box is a kizz- kickin
And all my rhymes are hizz-hittin
The albums out so go get it
There ain't no way we st-stopping
We got the party rizzockin (rockin)
We got the crowd a hip hoppin
When Jeff is on the beat box
*chance to rock*
*Jeff waz on the beat box*
One more time scratch Jeff
*hip-hop*
Mmm lets see what's next on the agenda
That's right oh yeah I've got it I remember
I was discussin when Jeff's on stage
Yeah hands clap
Ya feet tap
Ya eardrums pulsate
Ya body will move
As ya flow with the groove
And you smile as he composes this new rap tune
When he's on the stage he can't be stopped
Specially when I'm on the microphone and Jeff is on the beat box
Instrumental
So dad, like did you like have real good friends and potnas when you was growing up
Will's dad: I had two real good friends all the way through high school
Who you had?
Thomas Jones and Jacob Curtis Jones
Were they like brothers?
Well they weren't brothers they just had the same last name as Jones
And everybody thought that I was a Jones too but I wasn't, of course I was a Smith
Right
But they thought I was a Jones, they called us the Jones boys we were so tight
Matter of fact I had a call from one of them
Hey Dad listen, check this record out
It was a dark night
I had just sparked the mic
Brought the light
To the crowd
In Hampton
It was amped when
I finished with
Brand New Funk
They were screaming out, "Do Summertime"
Some of them was drunk, some of the time
I like to chill after the show
But tonight, yo I wanna get ill after the show
And there she is
5 sumthin, short hair, damn she live
The girls get thicker further down 95
I expressed to her
Sought of confessed to her
I wanted to get next to her
So I suggested to her
We roll
To suite 110
Sweet ones in
My room
Jeff in one eleven with a friend
Then boom boom boom who that? (open the door)
Why they do that?
Threw back
By the noise
Some dude and his boys
You know them?
Your boyfriend?
More like an annoyed friend
Peep through the peep hole peeped him and all his people
That's when Charlie creep through
Boy you wanna see who
Don't nobody wanna meet you
Damn here come the beef stew
My beef ain't with you (uh ah)
My beef's with Will
So see Mack
Ease back
'fore your cat get peeled
Charlie said, "Any beef with Will is
Plenty beef with me and
Whenever Charlie get mad

Additional Music Video Lyrics
All on the Boat
Yeh, we goin' on the boat
I surely hope that we stay afloat
because if I drown I might die
no more burgers and no more fries yeh.
(I Cant wait to be with you)
I Cant wait to see you
I Cant wait to be with you
Loving you is all I wanna do
10 o clock MY flight lands
Can't wait to hold the palm of your hands
Been seven long days since the last that I saw you
And every free moment I get I gotta call you
Taking every chance to glance at your cute face
And looking at your 8 by 10 in my suitcase
Ain't been with my honey in a long while
And when I get a hold of you mmm child (ooh yeah)
No telling what I might do
Cause I'm a be like a kid that got a toy that's brand new
Cant wait to hold you can't wait to see you

Smile on my face and there's a twinkle in my eye
Time to go to work but it's so hard to say goodbye
And as I think of you its like I had a DRINK or two

Pick up the phone and call you about 3
(Hello)

Cellular phone so I don't have to postpone
When my beeper goes off no more running to a payphone
You're astounding that's why I'm expounding
So vivacious and baby your face is

It's making me feel numb
Fe fi fo fum baby come and get some

Ever since I was younger, I was into video games
Tron or whatever, it didn't matter the name
Thousands of my dollars, have been poured into all types of games, tryin to get the high score
But now I think I have a favourite
It's me against an ape, he's got my girl, I've got to save her!
Oh no, I feel an attach coming on
Yo Ready Rock C I wanna play a game of Donkey Kong
It used to be a problem this addiction I have
I would feel the urge, then I'd go stark raving mad
Break into the arcade, screaming and hollering
Anticipating putting twenty-five dollars in any machine, I was out of control
I didn't need quarters I brought, $10 bank rolls
Bags of quarters, I was insane
People thought that I worked there, and asked me for change
But I would get defensive and yell leave me alone
These are my quarters stupid, go get your own
Dude walked away with this look in his eyes like,
Yo man.. I wonder what's wrong with that guy
I was addicted, a video burn-out and I would crazy when the guy would have to turn out
The lights at midnight, I'd fall on my knees and say,
Have a heart pal, one more game please
Some nights I might sleep on the subway or outside of the arcade til it opened up the next day
And when it opened at a quarter to ten it was the same old thing all over again
I was doin bad my future was bleek
I'd rather play games than eat or sleep until one day, this guy came along
He didn't have a radio but he was playin a song
I got curious, so I said, yo what's that noise?' (What noise? I don't know)
No fool, that noise you was makin there (What this)
Yeah
That was def man, where'd you learn to do that
(Man, I don't know, I guess I always knew that I had this talent deep down inside)
You wanna hear some more man Yeah (Come on let's take a ride)
He made sounds like I never heard before and he still had more
Then he got me hyped when he played this incredible song and I lost my mind when Ready C played Donkey Kong
Yo Ready, get funky with it!
Yo Jeff man what you doing? Give Ready a hand
Now my life is wonderful and I feel great
I haven't been in an arcade since seventy eight
Thanks to Ready C I'm on an upward trail
Because he's always by my side, he never fails me
Whenever I have a video attack
He's right there by my back keeping me on track
So if I bug out and act like a lunatic
He does Donkey Kong and as soon as it gets to my eardrums from his vocal chords
I get hyped up no matter how bored I am he always comes through
Oh my fault, hold up, wait, let me tell you who
Ready Rock C, here's a brief description
Of the things that he can do in his musical position
Ready Rock C makes sounds with his mouth
Yo Ready give an example of what I'm talking about
(game over)
(Yo, Scrammy, why you still standin there)
(The game is over haha sucker)
Yo jazzy whats happening man

Next time a guy try to give you a play just turn your head and dis him and walk away
Excuse me ice cream tee
Hello how do you do
Quite fine my darling and how are you
Well I'm doing quite fine but I'm kind of upset
Because I heard a little something I could not forget
What's that?
I heard you say that girls are nothing but trouble
And now I'm taking this time to bust your bubble

And bragging nearly every time you open your mouth
You think you'll gets the women success will turn your head
Well I'm sorry to inform you that stuff is dead

Before we have you arrested what's the meaning of this
You say girls are full of trouble I must play this to you
Girls may be trouble but guys are trouble too
You're a compulsive liar you mind is full of dirt
All you do is worry about what's up a girls skirt
You cant hurt these people because you got a big mouth
You go run and tell your boys how you made out
I think ruthfully your sick you need to be kicked
See I'm getting my loaded weapon you get on my nerve I go click
Guys think they own their girlfriends females aren't possession's we are humans
We like to be wined and dined by candle light
Not being couped up in the house trying to be held up tight
So jazzy jeff and fresh prince don't mean to bust your bubble
But guys of the world ain't nuthin but trouble
So homegirls next time a guy tries to give you the play
Just turn your head and cold diss him and walk away
This amazing hot day I went to see Barney from work
My briefcase in my hand sitting down on my skirt
The undergounds of the surface was the scene of my walk
I got approached from the rear e said baby can we talk
I looked him in the eyes with this fabulous smile
He said I just got paid lets hang out for a while
I said first would be my pleasure to know who you are
And do I have to use my tokens or do you have a car
Well my name is the prince and I'm a great rap star
You don't have to use your tokens I've got a jaguar
I knew there was no doubt I'd jump on this mission
I proceeded to tell him my name with police suspicion
I said ice cream tee was the title I was given
SWP the name of the hood I live in
So we jumped in the ride hit the 95 we turned into his block pulled up in his drive
First step in the house I saw a mouse
I said 90 in the wrong trips and then with the ow
He came running to my rescue he was a little late
My hair was broke my briefcase was in a totally different place
He said I'm sorry take a sip of this bacardi
And excuse me while I go freshen up for the party
I got a little confused I said party what's up with dude
He didn't even tell me I thought that was quite rude
Suddenly through the door was three men in suits
They said hey sweet mama who are you
I said im ice cream tee and who may you be
I'm brother charles brother rick and he's brother ali
Are you here to see the prince
Prince no prince works for me im running the show
Work for me and at 12 o clock midnight you'll be working 42nd street
O my god I was totally stunned he yanked me up slapped my cheek and put his ands on my buns
I said ha you better watch it sucker
I said to myself I got to go get my geurney
E put me in this locker called me a b e and h
Looked around noticed that there was no escape
Left the room went behind closed doors
I pulled down got my briefcase that was on the floor
Flipped the latch lift the lid Pulled out my smith n wesson
Yes my shiny black loaded a 357
Stepped out of the room dressed in shoot of the load
And said they all lay me down and hit me with this tune
When they see my smith n wesson their eyes got bigger
I relaxed latch off chilled back and pulled the trigger
Picked up the briefcase broke out on the double
These guys of the world are full of trouble
Cant live with em cant live without em
Uh uh, ah uh
Yo Jeffrey Buss it
What are ya doin in there?
Word em up word em up word em up
In the place at about this time
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince just bu bu buggin out
Losing it all no sense
Ay Jeff scratch it scratch it man, scratch it
Uh aw that was decent
Now scratch it a quick joint, a quick one Jeff
Oh yeah yeah
We just bugging we just having some fun
Me and Jeffrey
He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper
Hello can anybody hear me
You can aight that's good you can hear me
Okay it's clear it's good okay everybody's got it
One two
One two and
My rhymes have been written not to be bitten
But as it seems, some suckers keep forgetting the rules about rappin, but that's alright
Cause in the next five minutes I'm a have them all uptight
Stronger than a dinosaur, better known than Santa
Man the battles I battle, I usually win em
In less than a minute, but it all depends
On how long it takes you rappers to realise
That trying to defend yourself is ridiculous
Didn't you get my message its out of the question
Cause you're toys boys, I'm the Real McCoy
I'm really gonna enjoy seeing you destroyed
If I was Fred Flintstone I'd probably own all of Bedrock
If I was a criminal I'd probably own a cellblock
If I was in the Navy I would own the sea
But I'm a poet so I own the whole rap industry
I'm like a lion my man, and the streets are my den
It's either kill or be killed, so I kill
I kill again and again and again
Surmount the times, rappers I'll slaughter them
I tie em up and throw them in the water
Then I'll just walk away like nothing ever happened until somebody else starts rappin
That's when I snap and I'll attack and go mad like Rambo or maybe like Commando, or like Lando
Calrissian, cause you know he was down with the Force
Fresh Prince is the source I feel no pain or remorse
Think that you can beat me rappin man you must be silly
Man I really really really really really really
Hate when people, doubt my ability
And I have to prove superiority
If rap was basketball, I would be in luck
Cause every time I freestyle it would be a slam dunk
Man I'm the engineer, and you're the passengers
Taking on a voyage, a hip-hop massacre
The Jason of rap, Freddy Kruger of rhymin
And I'm sure that you'll see in due time man
People will run, to Philadelphia Pennsylvania to all join in, to this Fresh Prince mania
My face in magazines, on your radio or stereo
Everywhere you go, audio and video
A hip-hop terrorist, war like vocalist
Other rappers say, yo Prince why don't you show me this
Style now you must be trippin it ain't no way in hell I'ma let you put your lip in
My rhyme cause it's a timebomb, I'm not kiddin
My rhyme explodes the second it gets bitten
I'm quick and nimble, a status symbol
I shop at Macy's now but I used to shop at Gimble's
I'll, drop kick a hurricane, bodyslam a tidal wave
Walk through a tornado, or a volcano
But I'll be okay though
And here's some more info that you rappers should know
You are the bombs and I will defuse you
I am the lawyer and I'm going to accuse you of the ultimate rhyme crime and you will be guilty
There's no way that you'll ever ever defeat beat me rappin any time or day
Pop so much trash, man I can't wait to be face to face, and hear Jeff say sick em
Man you're gonna be my victim
You better duck, and pray for good luck Chuck, cause you're stuck
You're like a Thanksgiving turkey and it's time to be plucked
I see you're nervous purpose that's how I now you're soft
You're runnin round like a chicken with your head cut off
But just relax my power to the max
And I'm cuttin no slack on this rap track, Jack
So back up, as if you got good sense
Or feel the fury of the Prince
And ya don't stop
Yo Jazzy why don't you rock up the spots
Yo Jazzy hey Jeff I'm psyched I'm psyched
Give em a cut Jeff
Ooh-wee check out my dish-jockey!
Ay Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey, a fast one
Uh ha yeah
Wow, ay Jeff Jeff, give em one of them fresh ones
A fresh one Jeffrey
No music, no music
Woo, that was decent, that was decent
That's my DJ, that's my DJ
Jazzy Jeff, I'm the Fresh Prince
Hi how ya doin?
How's everyone doin out there?
Ooh!
I'm just here to talk about my DJ
I was just I was just standin in here, really
Really? Aight, okay, um
On behalf of DJ Jazzy Jeff, and the Fresh Prince ..
(Don't touch that dial)
Thank you, and good night
Aw man!
Put that ol' dumb horn down
Hey, Jazzy
Jazzy
Show this boy what some real music 'posed to sound like
He-he-ha!
1-2-3-4
Now that's a record!
Now that's a record!
Go Jazzy, go Jazzy, go
I want to be remembered for the songs that I sing
Not only for the humour, but for the knowledge I bring
To broaden the horizons of others is why I rap this
Enlightening minds with my lyrical tactics
In life everything ain't always what it seems
But people are enchanted by things that gleam
You know, bright fancy cars, big yachts and mansions
On the beaches of Aruba with a girlie romancin
Now I'm about to tell you a very interesting fable
More fun than when you first got cable
The moral to be learned from this story to be told
Is that everything that glitters ain't always gold
On July the 11th I was sittin at home
Talkin to my girlfriend Geena on the telephone
Flippin through the newspaper checkin the news
When I saw an advertisement for a Carribean cruise
It said sunny skies and romantic nights
On an incredible ship and I got hype
It said it's like the Love Boat baskin in the sun
Promisin fun for you and for everyone
I said that's dope baby you're down
She said yeah we could leave right now
The very next day I put the check in the mail
And one week later we were ready to sail
The brochure said that the boat was large
But it was nothin but a broken-down barnacle barge!
And if it wasn't for my girlfriend, I wouldn'ta went
Because the captain was a cross-eyed hunchback with a limp
The cruise was paid for and the food was free
So I said what the hell and set out to sea
It didn't take long to notice something was wrong
The ship was a mess and we were the only ones on it
I didn't wanna panic, so I chilled for a while
Till the captain pulled up on what we thought was a deserted isle
We looked on to the beach and almost went bezerk
We saw 300 natives with spears and grass skirts!
The said, 'Hung-a-dung-a-digi-dung-da-do'
I said, 'Hey baby, I guess that means get off the boat'
Their chief said they needed a human sacrifice
I said, 'Well, just take my girl - he-he - psyche'
I was jokin, but things got serious
Their leader came out and he was furious
He got in my face and his breath was the worst
I said, 'Hey baby, you got some mints in your purse?'
His breath was stinkin with dooky brown teeth
And two big crusty ashy hairy feet
The worst thing, he had no toenail on his toes
And a big Teradactyl bird bone in his nose
I tried to reason with him, he wasn't with it
He said, 'Tenga-shanko,' that meant 'forget it'
He said, 'Gunga-shang-tang-da-bong-da-boo'
That meant 'tonight we're having Fresh Prince stew'
Then I saw it - no, it's not
The big Indiana Jones people cooking pot!
I wanted to fight em, but there was no way to beat em
I thought to myself, 'Where's Tarzan when you need him?'
Just as they were contemplatin cookin us up
We had a major stroke of luck, a Navy ship pulled up
The troops came off and they got us out of the pot
And I said to the chief, 'Yo, I get with ya, hops!'
The guy that rescued us said, 'I hate to tell you
The captain of your ship, he had just escaped from Belview
We've been following him and finally we got him
We're sorry, there's no way that you can possibly get a refund'
A thousand dollars and a weekend down the drain
But a lesson well learned, so let me explain
There's a very important message that needs to be told
It's that everything that glitters ain't always gold
Yo jazzy whats happening man
Yo ice cream tee is that jazzy jeff and the fresh prince
Yeah tey made that rap tune girls aint nutin but trouble

Some chapter, some verse said you seek and you find

Flame for hip-hop burns eternal

Yo jeff whats shakin man
Whats up dude
Ay man remember that girl you know when I was walking to school
She used to diss me everyday (yeah)
Man the record came out she called me 2 days ago
Man my phone is off the hook with
people asking me for tapes and free records
I aint with it
Word man
Bust this
This rap is for the people in the past who were against me
Who snapped at every opportunity to diss me
Put me down like I was nothing treated me like a jerk
Now I'm seeing the pay off of all my hard work
But now that its my records on the reel
Somehow all of a sudden it's a whole new deal
For those in the past who dissed me don't deny it
What? Your sorry? Don't even try it
Word man
People are a trip
Putting everybody down what's up with that
Word man I gotta let em know I gotta
Bust this
I used to know this girl by the name of teresa
I did all I could to make her release her
Emotions to me but she just wouldn't do it
She built up a wall and I couldn't break through it
I used to walk to school everyday of the week
Watching teresa walk on the other side of the street
One day I finally got my heart up to speak
She dissed me and dismissed me with a smack on my cheek
So I bought 6 bottles of new fancy cologne
But all I got from teresa was
(leave me alone)
Bought new clothes to wear every place
But all Teresa would say was
(get out of my face)
So I gave up this quest for Teresa
But then on the day my record was released
A strange thing happened when it came on the radio
Teresa broke her neck just to say (hello)
I looked at her I said you must be foolish
Why did you ignore me on the way to school if you were interested she said
(oh I apologise)
I looked deep into her dark brown eyes
I said you ignored me for months on end
Now all of a sudden you wanna be my friend
You didn't talk before so don't talk now what be quiet
What you really like me? Don't even try it
Man she had a lot of nerve man (word)
But man she ain't have half as much nerve as that record producer
The one that dissed us man
What up
When I first started rapping I had one idea
And it was set in my mind very vivid and clear
I knew that I wanted to be a rap artist
I'll give my all and work my hardest
But when I took my song to a record producer
He told me that I better go drink some rap juice or
Something because my song was really absurd
He said that it was the worst trash that he'd ever heard
Yo my ego was shattered he busted my groove
I could hear him cracking up as I left the room
I thought my song was good but he busted my bubble
The title was girls ain't nuthin but trouble
Hopefully I found domeone who had faith
He lifted my ego back up into place
His name was dana goodman (chill) he thought the song was on track
So two weeks later it was out on wax
It busted up the charts like a hydrogen bomb
Up up up it climbed climbed climbed
People eat their words that said I couldn't achieve
Now they have no choice bit to believe in me
Then no sooner than my record came out
That same old producer started calling my house
One night he called me about half past 12
I've got some cash if you wanna sell
I said you big stupid half wit idiot
I told you before that my record was a hit
I just laughed like some kind of kid
Now don't you regret what you did
I wish you'd get off my tip now that's my request
See he who laughs last always laughs best
Okay I'll be reasonable you wanna buy it
Okay I'll sell it psyche don't even try it
You know what I'll tell you sumthin
I got this so hard man
I'm a tell you sumthin
Yo prince you remember when we first started out
How we used to go to all the parties just to rock the house
Word man I remember those good days well
Well chill out man cause I got a story to tell
About five years ago I began my quest to be the best DJ in the whole US
There was a lot of DJ's striving in my spot
They were putting me down every chance I got
Never cut me a break on any given night
They used to all look at me and say
(Jeff's alright)
but when your magnificent cuts were released
all of that left has ceased (word)
when you and I used to do our shows
All the crowd would say is Ho
Yeah time after time we were tearin it up
While you rock the mic and I rocked the cut
But now that I'm making a name for myself
All those DJ's are like
Yo Jeff whats up
All that stuff is dead nope I ain't with it
The'yll push me on the street and say
(yo Jeff how bout a ticket man)
to your very next show
but I say no
and I tell them where they can go
I cant believe that they have the nerve
To hop on my tip now
Yeah man word
Just the other day homeboy approached me on the street and said
'yo jeff how bout a record for free'
man the way you dissed me you better go buy it
but man we're friends for real don't even try it
man straight up you know how it is
word
maybe they'll know not to diss next time
we let em know
cause I aint with it
aight jeff chill
Verse 1:
Here's a little story 'bout a Friday night,
buckwild, 'cause yo, that's kind of my style,
check it,
on the town with a girl named Kay-Bee,
and a bow-wow-wow yippie-yo yippie any way,
I was straight out illin',
why do I say so? 'cause yo, my girl was home chillin,
fancy restaurant me and Kay frontin',
it was called Lay....um, Jay...um, somethin',
I was ready to attack her, unh,
giving the sex look like Dracula,
a little bit of soft music playin,
and Don Perrier, it was on, know what I'm sayin,
every thing was lovely, but then,
what the damn, my girlfriend walked in,
oh my goodness, danger, trouble, dread,
oh I'm dead, mayday code red
Verse 2:
my oh my, what am I to do?
gotta get away, cause my girlfriend's coming through,
um Jay, I gotta, um, well, see, there's well, this, um, exscuse me,
to the back with the mucho-quickness,
my girl's gonna kill me and leave no witnesses,
I'm in the bathroom hiding like a punk,
but there's bars on the windows, I can't jump,
exit stage left, quickly plan B,
gotta find a way that my girl won't see me,
crawling on the floor, I'm feeling sick,
like this some old Charlie Chaplin flick,
heart poundin' a round a mile-a-minute,
this time I really done did it,
down on my hands and my knees on the floor,
I'm looking at the front door,
ready, set, make the dash,
her back is turned, maybe I can get past,
I almost made it, but then, damn, she turned her head,
code red
break it on down
Verse 3:
all was perfect, the ship was sailing,
but now it's sinking, so yo, I'm bailin',
I kept on runnin' even though she saw me,
and I sat and waited at home for baby to call me,
I watched a little TV,
phone started ringing 'bout 12:23,
I picked it up real slow, and said,
'mmmmm..hello?',
she wasn't having it, she snapped, went bezerk,
girl made my head hurt,
I tried to be as cool as I could be,
I said hey, it wadn't me,
she wasn't having that melody,
needless to say, she left me,
another brother just couldn't control his head, (another one)
code red
(so damn tough)
(fresh)
(so damn tough)
Everywhere we go downtown or to a show
We have two necessities Charlie Mack and our limo
He's feared by suckers yet he's loved by kids
Pay attention and let me tell you who Charlie Mack is
He is our homeboy from around the block
He's regarded through the city as the hip-hop cop
Height about 6'6', weight about 290
Everywhere I go Charlie Mack is right behind me
He never laughs, never smiles nor sweats
He doesn't breaks arms or legs, only spines or necks
He once killed a man cause he would not let go of his Ego
Apollo Creed is a sucker Charlie Mack could be Drago
He could bench about three hundred pounds
The cops all take a vacation, when Charlie's in town
He's the toughest around so everywhere that I go he goes
He's Charlie Mack and he's the first out the limo
(So damn tough)
I guess you're wondering why he's the first out the limo, yo, let me give you this bit of info
So you'll know the things that Charlie can do and you'll know every single reason why he's down with the crew
The limo picks us up about a half past six
With the radio blasting our latest hit
It's me Jeff Ready Rock, Omar and J.L.
Charlie Mack is up front as we depart the hotel
First we cause chaos throughout the city streets
Then maybe stop at Burger King for a bite to eat
And if somebody gets stupid while we're in the place
Charlie cancels his order and bites off their face
He's not a troublemaker in fact, he's a trouble breaker
And if somebody gets dumb, well it'll only take a second or two, after some fools snaps
Law and order is restored by my hero Charlie Mack
Wheel off into the limo, and head for the jam
Charlie cracks all the knuckles, on both of his hands
And when we pull up to the show, the routine is unrehearsed
It's just natural that we let Charlie hop out first
He clears the crowd without saying a word man
That's the loudest silence I've ever heard
A lot of times guys test him, by trying to bug
He just, leaves ring imprints, all over their mugs
He's a terminator, a Hercules of sorts
Man to hell with chess, he likes physical sports
You may not have known before but now you know
The reason why Charlie Mack is the first out the limo
(So damn tough)
We'd like to apologise to all of our fans
But please don't touch us when we're at our jams
Cause Charlie don't like folks around us when we're doing a show
And if he punches you, uh-oh, better get Mako
Still you weak rap dudes tempers are hot
Just because I've got something that you ain't got
If you want to get physical, rowdy or try to bomb me
I won't get excited, I'll just say Yo Charlie
You should a been kind, you shouldn't have snapped
Charlie only hit you once and now you're taking a nap
And when he leaves you decapitated, crushed in the dust
You'll look up, and see your girl in the limo with us
You may think that's enough boy but I think not
Charlie kick his face again I think you missed a spot
I roll down the limo window and yell by the way eyes
You'll see your girl buck naked giving Charlie a massage
I'm serious I'm not joking no doubt
You know how many doubters' bones have been broken
You may not have known before but now you know
The reason why Charlie Mack is the first out the limo
Charlie Mack the first out the limo
He's Charlie Mack the first out the limo
In closing, we'd like to say this, to you bustas
If you're sceptical you'll probably get beat up, plus kid
Embarrassed and laughed at, by all of your friends
And if you cross Charlie Mack it's the beginning of the end
Of life as you know it, you might not die, sir
But if you're not dead, you'll wish you were
But if you still wanna bug out, homeboy let's go
You can bug with Charlie Mack cause he's the first out the limo
He's Charlie Mack and he's the first out the limo
It's the same feeling

As we go a little somethin like this, hit it
Now let's get this party, started off the right way
Ow and ho I think the crowd might say
When we're on stage you know you can't resist
(As we go a little somethin like this, hit it)
I'm the ultimate, and that's all I can say
I sat down for about eight hours a day
Tryin to figure out the proper description of me
And I came to the decision that there's no one syllable or phrase
That can adequately describe this new craze
But I'll sum it up in one sentence, let's see
Okay I've got it all praise me
Yup that's about the size of it
I know it sounds kinda strange, doesn't it
But when we're on the stage you know you can't resist
(As we go a little somethin like this, hit it)
(As we go a little somethin like this, hit it)
It was a Friday afternoon if I remember it correctly
But I can't quite recall the time exactly
But it was somewhere around, two or three or four
Oh forget it, let's just go on
Anyway I stepped out of school
Sneaks were Gucci shirt was Polo and my pockets were full
Blew some kisses to the girlies cause I like to tease
They started chantin my name, I said, ladies please
I grabbed my friends and hopped in my Benz
Grabbed on Martini and Rossi passed out to my posse
Things were lookin good, I had plans for later on
Plans for Donna Michelle, plans for Stacy LeShaun
Word I was ready, I wonder if Jeff's home
Let me give him a call, on my car phone
Yo Jeff, what's shakin Coolin, whassup
Girlies I'm with it, come pick me up
I caught up with Ready on the way to Jeff's
A whole carload of girlies and they all was def
We walked into Jeff's and said, Girls, you can't resist
(As we go a little somethin like this, hit it)
{*Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches Slick Rick*
'As we go a little somethin like this, HIT IT!'}
Yo Jeff man, are you with me (Hit it)
I didn't hear you man, are you with me (Hit it)
I'm with it to get busy
(somethin like this, hit it)
Ready Rock C, give Jeff a hand!
(As we go a little somethin like this, hit it)
Throw away them jams cause you don't need em any more
Cause this hip-hop hit is gonna keep you on the floor
If you dance everyday or if you never danced before
It doesn't matter if it's (somethin like this)
Time is essential so let's make the best of it
Today we don't have a lot of time, so let's not throw it all away
Let's use this time in a very special way
Let's use it, (somethin like this)
I went outside at about 12:30
I saw a couple girlies, and they were lookin pretty good if you know what I mean
So I freshened my breath and stepped on the scene (hit it)
I walked over to em, stepped in between them
One said to the other, I think that I've seen him somewhere before
I said sweetheart, you might have
She said oh yeah it was last night at that party
I said yeah I tried to talk to you there but you were acting as if you were scared
She said I'm not scared now I said Bet, well let's go then
She said but hold up, what about my friend
I said I got a friend
So the three of us left
Went back to my crib and gave a call to Jeff
Five minutes later, Jeff walked in
and I thought to myself yeah, now the fun begins
But the girls started buggin, and they said
Now we want dinner in the best restaurant in town
We want caviar and lobster tails, both by candlelight and Don Perignon I said yeah right
Y'all must be crazy, and Jeff said you know
I really think it's time for these ladies to go
We walked em to the door and told em they were dismissed and it went a little (somethin like this)
But that was okay that was alright
Cause we still had fun that night ya know it
The moral of the story is plain and visible
We always watch out for those kind of women
But the past is the past and the present is the present
And we feel that everyone should be sitting down
(so you all don't miss)
(As we go a little somethin like this, hit it)

Big Will uh
Tra-Knox uh
Foundation laid to the rock y'all
(Ooh, Ohh)
Here I stand before you - brown.
Color of the mountains
Colossal as the earth
Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery
Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind
Here I stand before you, the color of the night
Frozen by the potential of me
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel
Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above
You on the prowl now, downtown, searchin for love
In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations
Hopin he with new hit single, is tryin to mingle
Today, he is in your town, puttin it down
You in the car with your friends, followin my limo around
Puttin a bug in my boy's ear, your "S" is for free
You'll do anything for Omar or Phil, bring you to me
And then me, hypnotized by the devil as well
Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel
No need to RSVP, place your hand in my palm
As all your girlfriends getting jealous, damn she landed the bomb
Willing to trade your spirit for some crass, whack wage
Something small, something simple as a pass back stage
But now I lay me, down to creep
And I - pray the Lord my soul to keep
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
Lil Bobby got a gun now, age fifteen
Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems
Rage inside, pride, been denied respect
He can't take it though he gotta earn it
But he ain't learned that yet
Out on the town, reckless abandon he's been bullied before
But now he straps, and no more
Attitude high
Flexin on every guy that walk by
But don't start pal
Cuz if the gun came from the whiz, Cowardly Lion, got heart now
Let's pull it on a stranger
Ahh, fun for the crew
Surprised when he realized, damn dude got one too
Smile's upside down now, games ain't so cute
Bobby's a deer in a headlights
Pump, drop it or I'll shoot
Then like a sniper, cleanin his rifle, Bobby disobeys his commands
One shot rings out (gunshot) then only the stranger stands
Could of sworn Bobby's blood formed the shape of an angel's wings
But for what?
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
Back in high school, Tamika was the sweetest, the bomb
Hot to death, though in tenth grade a teenage mom
Knocked up by some thug named Russ in the drug game
But had the cutest kid you ever seen
Then all the pressure from her mom
She stepped to Russ
Told him it's either them drugs or us
Either them thugs or us
The ultimatum, either continue bein a thug in the world
Or start lovin your girl
And say God, bear me witness, no doubt, lovin ya dear
But to go from $50 Gees a week to $30 Gees a year
That ain't happenin
I guess he wasn't that strong
He came back the next week, and the whole family was gone
Yo they straight moved away, without as little as a word
Well, needless to say, Russ was a little perturbed
Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend Shawn
And like a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone
Upstate Schenectady,
Tamika answered the door
It was the last person she expected to be
They just stared
He said you love me for me?
You can do without the cars, vacations, and jewelry?
Down with me?
Period.
Through life's stress and strife
She said, Yeah, He said in that case
Would you please be my wife?
Then like a sign from the sky, the baby cried
Like an angel sings
I love y'all more than anything
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
this one goes out to all the big willies
big Will the high roller
strolling through with an entoruage

Chorus:

Verse 2:
I'm in a five star casino shuttin' crap tables down (boom)
non bettin' willie watchers standin' around
strictly millionaire status you can feel the eyes lookin' at us
how bad they wanna be us (parlay)
Charlie Mack got my back with his eyes on my stack
brothers don't know how to act when you drive a four-five black
people stop and stare havin' drinks at the bar
a round for everybody with these big willie cards
from civllians to stars they wanna know who we are
it's me big Will Nas Escobar J.L. Omar
carry money bags collect the chips then we all quick to exit
Chorus
Verse 3: Left Eye
It's Left Eye with a tight crew
representin' like it's ladies night
comin' right through
don't be spiteful
plus an eyeful
sportin' hot pink
rocks in the link
in the drop with a mink
like my ------ don't stink
got you in the palm with a bomb like Sadamm
blowing up spots then runnin' off with the pot
Left Eye ready for action
the main attraction
I'm in the fast lane passin'
breakin' you down like fractions
while we be rappin' about things that really happen
big willie style Philly style let's make it happen
with mademouselle from gezals to versace
with a sweet smell
this female leadin' the posse
got jokes like Cosby
in the lots where the cars be
with no apologies it's Left Eye
big Will let the champagne spill
is it a mans thing for real
can us girls roll wit yall
what the deal
Chorus
Verse 4:
well now it's lookin' like a car show
convoys and whips on the strip
pullin' up in the six makin' brothers sick

big Will household name
entertainer
gold handle cane and matchin' gators
swervin' lane
in pole position rolling deep like a co-malition
in soul poisition and can rock a whole convention
movie screens to the club scene
my whole crew lookin' clean
shine with a diamond gleam
step above where the players be
don't hate me
one is where they rate me
lately you could find me
behind the door marked V.I.P.
eating grapes under the A.C.
big willie style is how we do it
Chorus
this one goes out to all the big willies
I'm feeling sad (yeah)
I'm feeling sad (yeah)
I'm feeling sad (yeah)
I'm feeling sad (yeah)
I'm feeling sad (yeah)
Sitting in a hotel room
A thousand miles away from nowhere
Sloped over a chair as I stare
Out the window I sigh as I'm thinking
I take a sip of the juice I been drinking
I'm trapped inside of me
Lost in the memory
Of how things used to be
I think somebody better call a doctor quick
Oh never mind I'm just a little homesick
Thinking of my mum and my dad
And when I was young good damn I was a bad boy
I remember playing catch a girl, kiss a girl
Like a sucker getting slapped every time I pucker
But I kept on chasin
Kept on running kept coming like Jason
Much nostalgia keeps bouncing through
-chorus-
There's no place like home (yeah)
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
Yo there ain't no place like home
And I'm itching for the hood when I cross the states I roam
On tour getting the crowds going wild and
Stacking the honeys in a pile and putting em on file
XL a paragon on the scene
Fancy hotels and getting chauffeured in a limousine
Travel the world and yet my heart is achin
I be Yearning and burning for my mums eggs and bacon
Yo, there ain't no place like home, place like home
Ain't no place like home
Uh, I feel like Dorothy so I tries it
Kicks my heels but my Jordans wouldn't 'ize it
So back to reality
Back to Philly, get back to my family
It's fun to see strange places
But sometimes I wanna see familiar faces
Like charlie mack, bam, nut and wood
Names kinda funny but as friends go real good
Ain't no place like home for true
And that's why
There's no place like home (yeah)
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
Sitting in an airport my mouth watering
It's thanks giving day I'm just putting my order in
I call my mum on the phone kind a demanding
Don't stop cooking mum at seven I'm landing
She just laughed and said I don't intend to
My grandma picked up and then she ran the menu
There was turkey and stuffed corn and macaroni and cheese
And sweet potato pies ooh grandma please
On the plane now my mind drifting
Thinking of the way it used to be on Christmas
My mum used to put us to bed about nine
Saying it's, 'o f t baby, ol' folks time'
That'd be down stairs laughing and jamming
But then (boo) raise ya seats back for landing
I walked in the house I felt the love
And my grandma saw me and screamed
Now here come all the hugging
I got such a feeling of emotion and love
Because can't nobody can hug you the way your grandma does
Give me a shovel and put some feed on my plate
My father said grace right before we all ate
And after he was finished I put a p.s. on
I said yo, 'there ain't no place like home
And I thank God to be here with all of you'
Cause I was feeling
Feeling sad
I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
On behalf of DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince
We'd like to take this opportunity to wish y'all a (There's no place like home)
Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
And all that sumthin sumthin (There's no place like home)
But we'd also like to encourage you
To take this opportunity to pause (There's no place like home)
Just take a minute and stop and look around at your family
And thank God for them (There's no place like home)
Because they not always be here with you
Peace
There's no place like home
I'm feeling sad
I'm feeling sad
There's no place like home
You aint nuthin but a dog
You aint nuthin but a dog
You aint nuthin but a dog
You aint nuthin but a dog
(a dog a dog a dog is a dog)
Now I don't know what it is
But I've had this problem since I was a little kid
Girls were drawn to me
You might be asking yourself how big a problem could that be
Check this out and peep this here yall
Me and this f-l-y guy got pitfalls
Cause I got it rough
Cause one girl for me ain't never been enough
And it seems that women can't handle when
Your paintbrush is for more than one canvas
But I gotta keep on painting like picasso going to the break of dawn
Now the way I play
The things I say
Never been a lie cause I ain't that type of guy
And that's why I get totally appalled
When females say I ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
Back in high school this girl named Tracy
Yoused to do her best to disgrace me
She tried to destroy FP
She told all her friends I was a d-o-g
But yo I swear it was a misunderstanding
But she seemed to think that I planned it
She had this friend evette
That wanted to double date cause she was liking Jeff
But I showed up all alone
Told her that Jeff was sick back at home
I said I tried to call you
But we can still double date
Me plus your 2
She didn't get what the joke was all about
She smacked the tapes right out of my mouth
And with a huff and a puff walked off
And then tracy said he ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
Dammit I ain't no dog and that's one of the names I refuse to be called
Cause that label just ain't fair yo
Look I'm a prince I'm supposed to have a herum
Well of course I like you
But I like her and that other girl too
What do you mean I'm just like them other singers
Look I don't see no rings on this fingers
I ain't ready to settle down quite yet
I wanna carve my name on the night set
I want shoe boxes with hundreds of love notes
I want my phone to ring till its broke
I want a dance and prance in italy
And girls in egypt thinking just of me
I wanna be in the mix that's all
But I guess to you I ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
But a dog is a dog is a dog is a dog
You ain't nuthin but a dog
Look baby can I rap to you for a second
I just wanna talk to you
I wanna know why I gotta be a dog
Why d-o-g gotta refer to me
Look baby I'm 21 years old
You know I'm making a little bit of money
I'm just trying to see the world and have some fun
You know… okay yes I do have a lot of friends (dog)
Well associates I like to think of them as creative date associates you know
Evette is my associate Donna's my associate im just trying to enjoy myself
Why do you keep calling me a dog
Oh I'm a dog (dog)
I'm a dog right
Okay well um ruff ruff
You ain't nuthin but a dog
(I've never had a dog)
(I'm not a dog)
(I've never had a dog)

The maestro
Nice flow
Hot like nitro
Cool as ice though
That type of docodimy
Y'all know it's gotta be
Who else could it be but me
Rub your eyes but hold the big Billy
It's dream supreme bean straight from Philly
It's the eclectic female attractor rapper slash actor
Right back at ya
And to the next millinium many come but few are chosen
See me servin' like the U.S. Open
Another type of hustler listed at Blockbuster
Go and ask a movie usher
Who is he, he or she
SFP, movies CD's, and TV's, but uh uh
'cause the day I take a break from that
As I rule where a tank of gas take me at
I used to rock these
Red, I rock Z's
Now I rock the MB's
With twelves and V's
Today sun up high
In the sky
From NY
La la me to MI

Just Cruisin'
Where, baby, I don't care
Just Cruisin'
As long as you take me there
Just Cruisin'
Somewhere to clear my mind
Just Cruisin'
Just Cruisin'
Easy wrote a sixty
Flossin' ninety degrees

Reach to the beach
South side leanin'
It ain't often I'm off and I'm for the top down
drop down
Got me hot now heated up can't stop now
What up cutie what sure sure is cooking now
Yo I know
I'm spoken for can't hurt lookin' no
Pop CD's, B-I-G's, and Tupac's
While cruisin' on the blocks
Hittin' the hot spots
Got my celly on O-F-F
Golden arches got my belly goin' oh yes yes
So let's just ease on down ease on down the road
No pager roll my hip
As I rollin' my whip
'Cause today I'm on the solo creek
Man, why you think I be workin' all week
I'm (1, 1)
Sun settin' in the S-K-Y
Must say I've had the best day I
Tryin' to find an exit
A place to chill not to hectic
So I can spend some time with Will
Let the sun shine to the moonlight clearin' my mind
Soul search, see what I find
If I'm being the best lover and friend
Am I being the best daddy I can
I pray I am
And I feel good today
Reminiece as I'm cruisin' around the way
Roll tight passed the park where I used to play
Can't think of a better way to spend my day
Uh, still findin' my way
Still growin'
Petrol rowin'
Move soon showin'
Gots to get goin' losing the light
And the freaks come out at night

Against wrong, choose right and be standin' up
From the hospital that first night
Took a hour just ta get the car seat in right
People drivin' all fast, got me kinda upset
Got you home safe, placed you in your basinette
That night I don't think one wink I slept
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt
'Cause I know I loved you more than life itself
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs
Love, knowledge, discipline too
I pledge my life to you, uh
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
Five years old, bringing comedy
Everytime I look at you I think man a little me just like me
Wait an see gonna be tall makes me laugh 'cause
You got your dads ears an all
Sometimes I wonder, what you gonna be?
A General, a Doctor, maybe a MC
Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time
But I will test that butt when you cut outta line
Trudat uh uh uh why you do dat?
I try to be a tough dad, but you be makin' me laugh
Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy
I pledge to you, I will always do
Everything I can show you how to be a man
Dignity, integrity, honor an' I don't mind if you lose
Long as you came with it an' you can cry, ain't no shame it it
It didn't work out with me an your mom
But yo, push come to shove you was conceived in love
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track
Remember one fact, I got your back
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
It's a full time job to be a good dad
You got so much more stuff than I had
I gotta study just to keep with the changin' times
101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM
See me, I'm tryin to pretend I know
On my PC where that CD go
But yo, ain't nuthin' promised, one day I'll be gone
Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong
But just in case, it's my place to impart
One day some girl's gonna break your heart
And ooh ain't no pain like from the opposite sex
Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next son
Throughout life people will make you mad
Disrespect you and treat you bad
Let God deal with the things they do
'Cause hate in your heart will consume you too
Always tell the truth, say your prayers
Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears
You're living proof that dreams come true
I love you and I'm here for you, uh
Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
Just the two of us
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I
Just the two of us, I'm always here for you
Whatever you need just call on me
Whatever you need I'll be there for anytime
You and I
Just the two of us
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky

Willow
Daddy can you tell me a story?
Will
Oh you wanna hear a story? What kind of story you wanna hear baby?
Willow
A scary story
Oh, ok
Once upon a time there was a kid who wanted nothin' more than to rhyme
Almost like he was born in the rhyme
He thought of his rhymes almost all of the time
And he fought with his mom
His school getting caught with his rhyme book
And he knew he shouldn't of took it there in the first place
At least he shouldn't of been sittin lookin there in her face with it
Teacher told him get it out of her class
Wicked witch, trick told him that's probably why you won't pass
Now if you shy you won't last but you're new
So underneath his breath before he left he said I'm a be richer then you
What you say? She said.
What you mean? He said.
Boy don't you play, she said.
What you mean? He said. Damnit.
Ten minutes later standin up in the principles office
Getting handed the phone clammed up cause his father was talking
And he was pissed he wasn't listening to his son.
You testing me? You messin up again
You done boy.
This is just a story about a young man comin up in the rap game
A real scary story
Went from rags to riches it has goblins in it haters and witches. Uh.
First thing he did was find somebody to give him some money.
He wasn't stupid but wasn't using his senses honey.
The guy's he meant was a little shady, a little funny.
But they gave him the money so they played the record company.
It sounds silly but when he grew up in Philly rhymin wasn't what it is today
Deals wasn't a dime a dozen
Today every sister, uncle, or mom or cousin gotta record deal
But for real it wasn't like that then.
As you could imagine when he started risin to fame and fortune he was
havin Started antagonizing the guy's he was with
At the same time he started realizing
The deal he got from them guys in his eyes didn't fly with size of his hits
He called a meeting to find a solution.
He said I'm gettin beat out of my loot
And I'm not recording no more until we find a solution
The dude's said we found a solution its this .44
He ran for the door a little shaken
But the next day he found a lawyer, told him the situation
He said I'm breakin this contract for ya
He said how much the lawyer said I'm a charge you a quarter cause I like you
Just do me a favor
We come to make it hot for you (woo)

Mission completed

What are you doing?
I'm just looking over there
You looking over there?
Yeah I'm just looking at the piano
You ready to come out yet?
You cool? You chillin'?
Mmm hmm
It's all good?
Yeah
You gonna be quiet when mommy is singing?
Yeah
You can talk right now though
OK. How you gonna warm up?
Well hopefully if I keep doing it enough I'll get it right
Mom can I have some microphones? Can I have some earphones on?
Uuuhhhmmm Will? I don't know if they have extra, can Jaden have earphones?
Oh there you go Jaden
You can hear me?
Yeaaaahhhh
Can I talk to my daddy?
Daddy can hear you
Hi daddy, what's up?
Can you hear me?
Yeah. Wooooow
But when the music starts you have to be quiet
Yo! If you can't dance, its cool to get up now
Usually, ya'll gotta sit on the side, but tonight, it's cool ...slide...
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby, left to right all night
Slide that's all you gotta do... You can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right all night, slide, that's all you gotta do
Now we all know the boy at the club, all liquored up,
Boy with the bub tryin' to pick 'em up, wack dancing,
'Wooking pa nub', shirt too bright, pants too tight
Boy settle down
Now I ain't just messing with you
I got better things to do
I'm trying to help, I got a lesson for you
I know you do the best you could do
Wanna get next to Boo, then the less you do the better
Cause women equate dance with sex
They gon' see you & be like, 'Next'!
But you gon' be like, 'hold up Ma' ('Next!')
But she gon' be like, uh huh, ('Next!')
Now looka-here, rule #1, know ya name,
if it ain't Usher, Justin or Hammer, then we can touch ya
Rule #2, never do a dance you can't do, why stupid,
Cause you can't do it
So I'm up in my spot in Miami the other night, right
& this Dude's out on the floor OD-ing, just way 'over-dancing'
So his Mommy wanna holla at me
She thought my name was Billy, I told her it was Willie
She said she watch my TV show & I was very silly
Told her I was from Philly she looked at me said, 'Really?'
& judging from her t-shirt, I could tell that she was chilly
So I gave her my sweater, she said her name was Etta
She said she come from Cuba and she just had bought a Jetta
She said she was glad I met her, let's go somewhere together
She said she'd ride in my car cause she knew that it was better
The conversation cookin', attention getting' tookin'
My Spidey senses tinglin', I felt somebody lookin'
Now who this brotha lookin', & now he runnin', bookin'
I'm mad I'm like a fisherman, I almost had my hook in
I figured I should get up & quickly clear my head up,
Cause Etta got a man & I'm feelin' kinda set-up
Now Dude was really fed up & yo, he wouldn't let up
Homey if I hit you, you might never ever get up
Now he was not a dancer, plus he wasn't handsome
Comin' like Mel Gibson, like I had his girl for ransom
Yo, Pedro wanna go out side, yo amigo, tranquillo... slide
Now rule #3 is easy, please remember that you ain't on "Beat Street"
Sweet feet, you ain't tryin' to win no TV, another dude did a move
No need to out do it
Rule #4, out on the floor, don't be doing moves that don't nobody do no more
Draw too much attention to be adventurous out on the floor
There's a reason that don't nobody do 'em no more, you feel me?
This may be hilarious, but Rule #5 is serious, it's a shame that we have
to discuss
That there's no lip biting or pelvic thrusts
I mean you think that move will put the sting on her,
you too close, tryin' to put a ring on her?
You don't know that girl, don't cling on her & don't put your thing on
Yo, ain't no better man for this hype track
Just the veteran taking the mic back
David Letterman even said he like that track man
Even though he ain't a rap fan
Black radio, they won't play though
Ever since "Summertime" they ain't liked none of mine
Even though the fans went out & bought enough
I guess they think Will ain't hard enough
Maybe I should just have a shoot out
Run up in the bank, bustin', grabbin' all the loot out
Whoop somebody ass, taking my boot out
Right on TV so ya'll can see me
Just ignorant, attacking, actin' rough
I mean, then will I be black enough
Oh wait maybe I'll jack a truck
Full of cigarettes, guns & drugs & stuff
Get back
I wish I would of made that
Lean back
I wish I would of made that
I wish I woulda told the girls to 'drop it like it hot'
Summer, Summer, Summertime
Seem like all I got
I always envied how ya'll rock wit Dre & the Chronic
The way that Tupac, Biggie, 50 and Jigga got it
A lot like L.L., Chuck D, Slick & Dougie
I think ya'll love me, but ya'll place other rappers above me
& I don't know if you feel my flow
& be at my show & you'll see where I should go
On the charts of rhyme arts & thoughts in rap form
Damnit, I expanded the platform
Damnit, this Cat's on a rap song
Yeah, it ain't no braids or plats on
Ain't on stage wit no gats on
You know I'm afraid, getting' my act on
It might have stunted my growth
But I wanted them both
& I hope that it would be less tougher
You do two things & then they both gonna suffer
I chose to act & it broke my heart not to rap
Prodigal son, clever, better than ever, back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got, I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
Yo, do you see that lil' bop in my step
Do you see the little drop to the left, huh, yo...
Baseball cap, Timbs when I walk
Do you see that lil' grin when I talk, huh, yo
Do you see me sorta glide when I slide
See lean to the side in my ride, huh, yo...
Do you see it's no ice on my wrist
Fish still bite just like this... right, right
Do you know what it mean when you see a dude's chick on TV gleamin', huh?
Know what it mean to be on the scene & in the audience "Ali", beamin', yo!
I must have a 'S' on my chest, I recovered from the Wild, Wild West, yes!
Yo, I been up the creek without a paddle
Now I'm back on the saddle,
I got my swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
I got that swagga back, I got that swagga back
I got my swagga back
All you see that you see when you seeing me, you ain't seeing all to be seen
Cause there's more for you to see than when you see me on the scene in my
media machine
I mean madness, sickness, sadness, swaggerless back in the day
Fat, ugly chicks in New York on the radio, saying I'm gay
I had a bonafide downside frown with the swagga not around in my life
Bank account found minimal amounts when countin' cause of my now ex-wife
I had the boar-thick wall & all that, endure pitfalls & all that, fallin'
callin' for help
With no call back, where was ya'll at, gimme the ball back

Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right
there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of
a town called Bel-Air
[verse 2]
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most
of my days
Chillin out, maxin, relaxing all cool,
And all shooting some b-ball outside of
the school
When a couple of guys, they were up to
no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got one little fight and my mom got
scared
And said "You're moving
with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
I Begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me
my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I
might as well kick it
[verse 3]
First class yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne
glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air live like?
Hmm this might be alright
But wait I hear a prissy, booze, wine all that
Is this the type of place that they should send
this cool cat
I don't think so, I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of
Bel-Air
[verse 4]
Well ah the plane landed and when I
came out
There was a dude, looked like a cop,
standing there with my name out
I aint trying to get arrested yet I just got
here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning
disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came
near
The license plate said FRESH and it had
dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab was rare
But I thought naw forget it "yo homes to
Bel-Air"
[verse 5]
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo homes
smell ya later"
I looked at my kingdom I was finally
there
I believe in God, I believe in destiny
Not destiny in the sense of all of our exerts being pre-determined
But destiny in the sense of our ability to choose
Our ability to choose who we are and who we are supposed to be
Yo yo yoyo
I was born to reign, point blank
My name to be ecthed in stone
My destiny pre-ordaned, tryin' to live righteous
Fightin for life, this my life
That's why I liked on my vices
Tightnin' the vices of truth on the roofless
This is rhyme and the crime and their minds is just useless
The path of the poison, the genesis of the genisi
You and your boyz tryin' to decide, what to write
But your hand is a sword and the blade has been forged
Young minds gettin' gorged, stakes have been altered
By lick or by weed and then hate gets exaltered
As art falls to greed, choices is made that's the voices is laid
On the track, contract, your soul's the way, the sold your wage
Did you see his new Benz?
But your like a syringe now proud of your binge
Got a lot of new friends, got a lot of new ends
Bought a house up in the hills frontin' shouts to the pen
Givin' false accounts of your account's amounts
Amounts the fans treason stands to reason
Since your inception, laced with deception
And bred with false affection it must perish
From the terrace I see the fire burnin the streets
But I won't shield my eyes to the heat
Born to reign
I was born to reign
From a distance, you can witness the glow from my entourage
Gravitate towards the ambiance
see me & my men on CNN, then the birth of the inevitable hate begin
cause hate is the chld to greatness
the glue between Neo & the Smiths in the matrix, yin to the yang
It just must be, ask anybody with a Grammy or an MVP
I said stop, get out, I don't need this hate around me
All your negativity might drown me I just try to go hard, doing my job
Stop, get out - the whole world loves me cause I do what I do
& I don't like the energy coming from you Trying to play me soft, wave em off
(I just wave em off, yeah) I ain't concerned with your hatin' that don't slow down my paper makin
(wave em off, yeah) While the whole world recognize, you looking at me with your crooked eyes
(wave em off yeah) Love me, I paved the way, boys we can't behave this way come on
(wave em off, yeah)While the whole world recognize, you looking at me with your crooked eyes
Coming of age I invaded nations, on stage, I seen Haitian & Asian faces
No vacations just more locations, I go places, so chasing my vocation
So demonstrating the way to be patient with life's test, through my IRS situations
My guess is my dedication don't phase ya, a public sensation, in private you hatin'
Why? That's so last year, that's so not sexy, but I shall not let the hate stress me
I got bigger fish to fry & I could stand on my wallet, probably kiss the sky
When I close my eyes, I wish that I could change how you get pissed when I do things you can't deny
Truth is, Great do need Hate to survive, so I...
Block 'em out, ignore 'em (wave em off)
Don't pay these jokers no mind (wave em off)
They just all mad cause they in the coat section of the hate train & they can't get off
Still flaming boy, stand clear of the hatin' is the best defense Tryin to exceed excellence
Same way hope comes with fear, yo,
Ladies and Gentleman
Thankyou very much for coming out this evening
Yeah Thank You
Thank You
Please take the Dance Floor
Uh I would like to welcome you to the Switch remix
Now all you got to do is let your body move
And just (woo)
Vibe the vibe a second, it's a club girl why you arrived naked
Hear that, how the veteran glide the record
But don't download, go out and buy the record
Something sexy about a,
Girl on the floor, all her friends around her
I mean real clean, ain't gotta touch or nothing
It ain't like I like a chick on chick or something
Just a sucker for a hot track,
Gimme a drink and a chick to tell 'Stop that'
Dance is a hop and a clap, flip it round
Now bring it on back, break it down
Now Switch!
I don't want nobody sitting on the wall (Switch)
If you didn't come to dance then why'd you come at all (Switch)
Heres your chance (heres your chance)
Take my hand (take my hand)
Do that dance
Girl lets Switch
I gotta question, I need to ask somebody
Why is it that when y'all see me at the party
Y'all be looking like 'Ooo he a movie star
He ain't supposed to be out on the floor with everybody'
But oh wait, whoa y'all forgetting
When I was, amateur spitting before the scripts were written
First one in, last one out the club
Bursting in, passing out in the club
Back at it, this cat is the wit and the charm
Taking you higher like a syringe hittin ya arm
Bringing the fire, making you Benz ring the alarm
Let me see you clap, spin baby come on
Switch!
I don't want nobody sitting on the wall (Switch)
If you didn't come to dance then why'd you come at all (Switch)
Heres your chance (heres your chance)
Take my hand (take my hand)
Do that dance
Girl lets Switch
I don't want to see you standing when you look as fine as you (to the left one time girl)
I don't want to see you standing when you look as fine as you (to the back one time girl)
I don't want to see you standing baby looks as fine as you (to the right one time girl)
I don't want to see you standing girl look so fine as you (slide it up front slide it up front)
Left right east west up down north south (Robin Thicke)
Left right east west up down (Big Will)
Look so fine as you baby
Keep switchin whether you in your car or kitchen
Switch and hittin like it's a brand new dancing religion
Chance collision with robin thicke advancing my mission
Dancing vision by my man O Money keep switchin
I don't want nobody sitting on the wall (nobody on the wall)
If you didn't come to dance then why'd you come at all (dance with my mama)
Heres your chance (heres your chance) (its ya chance baby)

Girl lets Switch
Huh Big Will (Switch)
Thank y'all very much for coming out this evening (look so fine as you) (Switch)
The love that I feel in this room (look so fine as you) (Switch)
All this excess stress I can't take it
Slow that thing down, pump ya brakes kid
Why you gotta be all up in her face kid?
The ABS will get you numbers & the name kid
I mean really, houndin' ol' girl, was that really necessary
See your itinerary is all off
You need to be hauled off
She start flippin', she ain't trippin' it's your loss.
This is a simple case of an anti-brake pumper
You don't have to talk to women bumper to bumper
That mighta got you a couple of numbers when you were younger
But dude switch your whole approach, that ain't proper
Be a gentleman& try to be gentle man
The essence of stimulation mental man
But if your acting like you just got out the kennel man
Put your foot on the pedal & pump
If your girl's in ya face & she's outta place
What you need to tell her is... PUMP YA BRAKES
If you're out with your girls & he's pressin' you hard
What you need to tell him is...PUMP YA BRAKES
Now if you're underage & you're actin' all grown
What you need to do is PUMP YA BRAKES
If you're offended by this record, then you know that's you
What you need to do is...PUMP YA BRAKES
Outside the restaurant Girl sees Boy, Girl likes Boy
Girl meets Boy, Boy doesn't know that Girl thinks he's fly
Boy's a nice guy, so Boy says 'Hi'
Boy's Girlfriend returns from going to park
She sees them together this ignites a spark
Boy's girlfriend has a real loud bark
Now this is where the pumpin' of the brakes should start
Girlfriend thinks that something's going on
Girl tells Girlfriend nothings going on
Boy's in the middle of the commotion beginning
Girlfriend's mad cause Boy keeps grinning
Now, why is he grinning but that's beside the point
Girlfriend should chill before they roll up in the joint
Jumping to conclusions gets you no where honey
Pump ya brakes or be a crash test dummy
Dummy
Rule #1, is just like #2 the who do's and what nots & what you should dizz-oo
No loud talking, no back talking, If you do either, believe it, you're
back walking
I hate to sound rude but then again, I have to
My rap thang and my mack game, It'll smack you , click clack you, spit at you
I don't do it cause I want to, I do it cause I got to
I got a question to ask you, would you fall, stand tall, ball, or let em
smash you
If I was you & you was I, would you keep it G or would you stay fly
If you was rich in a ditch, living low, would you push the button,
Keep it cuttin' or would you just let it go
Get on the floor, whoa, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all night to the early mornin'
Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all night to the early mornin'
Dance, an aphrodisiac, women gyrating
Simulating sensual acts to stimulating musical tracks
I thought I was just gon' come out tonight and get a brew and relax
But no, uh uh, when you're the party starter
It's like you're on call, you're what the doctor ordered
It's like you gotta block the border to the door
And shock 'em when it's boring, get on the floor
Ughh, it's the groovicide bomber, mic in my vest
Tight, strapped to my chest
Like I'ma run up in the party hollerin'
And be like oh, fulfillin' my callin'
Big, will, that's my name, whoop
Writin' rhymes, that's my game, whoop
Ask me again and I'll tell you the same, whoop
Just write ya number down right next to ya name, girl
Whoa, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all night to the early mornin'
Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all night to the early mornin'
He was raised in the days when the roof was raised
Every rap occasion, new and amazing
The back of the stage is amazed and gazin'
Prayin' for the day they would one day praise him
Studied the ways of the game and made it
Came through the maze and the haze and played it, perfect
Days any person hated and cursed him, he was unfazed
He waited, it was worth it, he never retaliated
He saved it, slavin', on the road blazin'
Days when he was low, nothin' could raise him
He came to the show and somethin' uncaged him
Like the pope, but its party crusade
I'm like braids that's never gon' fade, ya heard
I'm like, 23's on an escalade, throw me into the rave
Like you threw a grenade, boom
Whoa, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all night to the early mornin'
Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all night to the early mornin'
I call for the days of the unadulterated
When the artistry was cultivated
You know, back when rap was smart and multilayered
We could rap without A and R's and ultimatums, damn
Now today I could say I long for the days
When the party was all about partyin'
I was a mini-party starter then
My mind bends when I call my pen
The big question, should I run the mind a vittle
Food for thought or dumb the rhyme a little
But will if you come to high that'll alienate folks
And they won't buy it, yo
Look, people getting trapped in the track
And they be clappin', even when the rappin' is wack
Yo, what happened, when did we get happy wit that?
He's old-fashioned, yup, but let's be happy he's back
Whoa, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all night to the early mornin'
Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we could dance all night to the early mornin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Miami, south beach bringing the heat
Can y'all feel that, can y'all feel that
Check it out
Here I am in the place where I 'com let go
But Miami the place and the sun set low
Everyday like a Mardi gras everybody party all day
No work all play, okay
So we sip a little something leave the rest to spill
Me and Charlie at the bar running up a high bill
Nutin' less than ill when we dress to kill
Every time the ladies pass they be like, hi Will
Y'all feel me all ages and races
Real sweet faces every different nation
Spanish, Asian, Indian, Jamaican
Black, White, Cuban or Asian
I only came for 2 days of playing
But every time I come I always wind up staying
This the type of town I could spend a few days in
Miami the city that keeps the roof blazing
Party in the city where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn
Welcome to Miami and Bienvenido a Miami
Bouncin' in the club where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn
I'm going to Miami, welcome to Miami
Yo I heard the rain storms ain't nutin' to mess wit
But I cant feel a drip on the strip, its a trip
Ladies half dressed, fully equipped and they be screamin' out
Will we loved your last hit
So I'm thinking I'm a scoop me something hot
In this salsa Merengue melting pot
Hottest club in the city and its right on the beach
Temperature, get to ya' its about to reach
500 degrees in the Carribean seas
With the hot mommies screaming ayy papi
Every time I come to town they be spotting me
In the drop Bentley ain't no stoppin' me
So cash in your dough and flow to this fashion show
Pound for pound anywhere you go
Yo ain't no city in the world like this, and if you ask how I know
I gotsta plead the 5th, Miami
Party in the city where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn
Welcome to Miami and Bienvenido a Miami
Bouncin' in the club where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn
I'm going to Miami, welcome to Miami
Don't get me wrong Charlotte town got it going on
And New York is the city that we know don't sleep
And we all know that L.A. and Philly stay jiggy, but on the snake
Miami bringing heat for real, y'all don't understand
I never seen so many Dominican women with cinnamon tans
Mira, this is plan, take a walk on the beach
Draw a heart in the sand give me your hand
Damn you look sexy, lets go to Yacth in the west keys
Ride my Jet Skis lounge under the palm trees
'Cause you gotta have cheese for the summer house
Piece on south beach
Water so clear you can see to the bottom
100,000 dollar cars, everybody got 'em
Ain't no place in a club to see sly
Stallon, Miami, my second home, Miami
Party in the city where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn
Welcome to Miami and Bienvenido a Miami
Bouncin' in the club where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn
I'm going to Miami, welcome to Miami
Party in the city where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn
Welcome to Miami and Bienvenido a Miami
Bouncin' in the club where the heat is on
All night on the beach till the break of dawn

Here come the men in black
It's the mib's, uh, here come's the mib's
Here come the men in black . men in blacck
They won't let you remember
Nah, nah. nah
The good guys dress in black, remember that
Just in case we ever face to face and make contact
The title held by me, mib
Means what you think you saw, you did not see
So don't brink be what was there is now gone
The black suits with the black ray bans on
Walk in shadow, move in silence
Guard against extra-terrestrial violence
But yo we ain't on no government list
We straight don't exist-no names and no fingerprints
Saw somethin' strange, watch your back
Cause you never quite know where the mibs is at
Uh, eh
* Here come the men in black, men in black
Galaxy defenders
Oho oho oho
Here come the men in black, men in black
They won't let you remember
Aha, aha
Now, from the deepest of the darkest of night
On the horizon, bright light enters sight tight
Cameras zoom, on the impending doom
But then like boom black suits fill the room up
With the quickness, talk with the witnesses
Hypnotizer, neuralizer
Vivid memories turn to fantasies
Ain't no mibs, can I please
Do what we say, that's they way we kick it
D'ya know what I mean
I see my noisy cricket get wicked on ya
We're your first, last and only line of defense
Against the worst scum of the universe
So don't fear us, cheer us
If you ever get near us, don't jeer us, we're fearless
Mib's freezin' up all the flack
What's that stand for? men in black
The men in black
The men in black
Let me see ya just bounce it with me
Just bounce with me (bounce with me)
Just bounce with me
Come on, let me see ya just slide with me
Just slide with me (sline, sline)
Just slide with me (sline, sline)
Come on, let me see ya talk a walk with me
Just walk with me (walk with me)
Talk a walk with me
Come on, and make your neck work
Now freeze
Ohhhhhhhhoh
Here come the men in black, men in black
Galaxy defenders. ohh, ooohh
Here come the men in black, men in black
They won't let you remember. oh nohh
Alright check it
Let me tell you this in closing
I know we might seem imposing
But trust me, if we ever show in your section
Believe me, it's for your own protection
Cause we see things that you need not see
And we be places that you need not be
So go on with your life
Forget that roswell crap
Show love to the black suit, cause
That's the men in....
That's the men in....
Here come the men in black, here they come
Galaxy defenders, galaxy defenders
Here come the men in black, oho, here they come
They won't let you remember. won't let you remember
Here come the men in black, ohh, here they come
Galaxy defenders. oho oho oho
Here come the men in black
Original - A first form from which varieties arise
An authentic work of art as opposed to an imitation or reproduction
Why should I try to sound like ya'll sound
That's what's wrong with the rap game right now
Man, it's like a circus wit a bunch of clowns
Wit a bunch of clicks I'll probably rap circles around
I spit heatrock and I ain't talking rollin
Soon as the beat knock I'm crowd controlling
When I hear ya'll that a awful sound
I don't ride beats I take them off the ground
Land them somewhere show them the town
Even on foreign ground I let them know I'm around
I don't follow everybody when it's time to rap
At one time everybody thought the world was flat
Sounds like you that was my intention
I paid dues now dudes pay attention
I live for it even though the flicks is hittin'
Cribs sick you can see the booth from the kitchen
Speak on it cause I saw it happen
This is hip hop dawg
I ain't just rappin
Ya'll looking at a real MC
Man you couldn't check a mic for me
Why should I try to sound like ya'll sound
That's what's wrong wit the rap game right now
Why should I try to flow the way ya'll flow
Or do a show like ya'll show
Naw that ain't where my head at now
Ya'll in the hip hop lost and found
Man, that's wrong with the rap game right now
It's like a circus wit a bunch of clowns
Wit a bunch of clicks
I'll probably rap circles around
Let's talk about rhyme capability
Let's talk about hip hop versatility
Let's talk about taking the game beyond
Now how the hell we gon have a battle of wits
Trick you ain't armed
Let's talk about love for the game
I mean real love
Back before there was fame
I'm real wit it
I ain't claiming to reign
But when ya'll talk about rap
Ya'll gon start saying my name
For real though I ain't playin
Plenty of ya'll love a brotha just scared to say it
Yo the first ever rap grammy
Let's talk about the only reason yo ass went to Miami
(Yup) truck wit rims (check) throw back jersey (check)
champagne bottles (check) lot's of models (check)
Damn that's the list for 90 percent of ya'll videos and songs
Am I wrong
LOST
When you a slave to the biz
Wit no care for the cost of what you sayin to kids
FOUND
Is when ya lyrics are a test of time
And your mom hear that your spirit is blessed divine
LOST
Is when you rhyme til your throat gets sore
But you don't even believe what you say no more
FOUND
Is when you bleed heart into the mic
And the pain you sustain it can change a life
LOST
Is when you hide behind the freedom of speech
While sure you're free to do it
But what it mean to do it
Did you mean to do it
Did you need to do it
Did you take time to think about the seeds you ruined
FOUND Is ESCO, dead PREZ and them
FOUND Is Lauren Hill
FOUND Is Rakim
FOUND Can be you
* [Chorus]
Girl stop shaking
You got my will breaking
Lovin' Jamaica but I gotta go home
I got my girl waitin'
I'm spos' to land at eight and
If I'm not there then I can't go home
Ma you got me bakin'
I'm bout' to make a mistakin'
I'm bout' to ask you to take me home
Please stop shaking
You got my will breakin'
Lovin Jamaica but I gotta go home
[Verse 1]
Ten days I'm in Jamaica workin'
Aint' had a chance to get out and do to much than nothin' else but workin'
It's killin' me
Aint' had a chance to get that chicky jerkin'
Responsibility taste the victory but desire lerkin'
I been recording right and rappin' and ryming
Notin' but heat aint' even had a chance to see the island
I need dat'
Me and the team we got a dream a' comin'
The spot we heard about through her mouth
This club of silam
Let's finish up
Then like a breeze off the sea's
When you arrive at the party
Host this
She Desserie flirtin' heavily with me
Got me thinkin' things I really probobly shouldn't be
Evertime she move she look at me
(Chorus)
[Verse 2]
(Everytime she moves)
I don't know how to act
Came to get my groove on
Not to get my groove back
Her eyes deep enough to swim in
She grinnin'
Her innersence inpire thoughts of sinnin'
Crazy right?
She got a - flower so long she smilin'
Her shakin' makin' Jamaica seem like temptation island
I'm wilin'
Cause' man she hot
What I'm gonna do?
Feelin' like the moment of truth
Fakin' my concience
Lovin the mood
What's a brother to do?
Makin' me think Desserie a Jamaican queen
Makin' me hatin' to leave cause' the shakin' is mean
Windin' hips
Got me growin' fond of this islandness but i'm manganese
So far y'all
(Chorus)
[Verse 3]
(Could it be that she's lookin' at me)
(Sendin' messages sweat Desserie)
(Try na' get away cause she was meant for me)
(Oh no I'm tryin' to get home)
(Tell me what else is a man's to do)
(When temptation is comin' at you)
(I love my girl but I see somthing new)
(Oh no I gotta get home)
If I want you so
Me want you so
(I may never want to go home)
If I want you so
Me want you so
(I may never want to go home)
If I want you so
Me want you so
(I may never want to go home)
If I want you so
Me want you so
(I may never want to go home)
(Chorus)
If I want you so
Me want you so
(I may never want to go home)
Yo get off me
Get off me

Da da da da da da da
Yo get your hands off me
Stop tryin' to hold me down
Let me just move around
Girl somethin' done happened to me
Swear to God somethin' done snapped in me
I need the whole floor for us
I'm about to bust mommy and it's glorious
I can't seem to stop my feet
You hear my heart beat
Digga digga digga digga digga digga digga
Oh lord I'm about to pass out
But when the night is over I'm a be the last out
Sweat pourin' in my eyes vision blurry
Even though my eyes is closed a see visions of her
Uma siente mami in me coca
Estoy bien livin' la vida loca
Heart jumpin' and pumpin' it's about to pop
But don't tell me nothin' back up
I can't stop
Da da da da da da da
I can't stop
Da da da da da da da
I can't stop
Da da da da da da da
The way you press against me
You messin' with me
The way that dress is fittin' has got to be forbidden
No reason for sercurity I'm feeling secure
You guardin' my body baby come on and give me some more
If all these people wasn't in here flocking around
I'd have you in the middle of the floor baby knockin' you down
They'd be talkin' about me when they walk in the house
like hammers click click click gizza gizza gizza
A damn shame how you do the damn thing
Girl you off the damn chain
But you're about to be tamed
Look at ya
Laughin' and grinnin' and dancin' and spinnin'
It wasn't my intention but you got be bridging my linen come on
Call the doctor get me a respirator
Look into my eyes mom the pressure is rapidly rising
Arm around my neck and leg all around my theigh

Rippin' on me racin' around disgracin' the sound
Got me on the run

Cops give me room

They got me like mararararararara mmmmmrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm
I don't care who it is
I ain't stoppin' for helecopters I ain't no fugitive
Bonny and Clide alive it's me and my shorty
Get in front of me I don't wanna hurt nobody
Uma siente mami in me coca
Estoy bien livin' la vida loca
Heart pumpin' and jumpin' it's about to pop
Suckers don't you come no closer back up

Da da da da da da da
I can't stop (baby don't hold me back) (don't stop don't stop)
Da da da da da da da
Here he comes, he can rock
He can break dance and he can pop
He can rap, he can act
& if it comes down to it, he can scrap
Hey there... here comes Big Will again
Here I come ya'll, here I come ya'll
Watch yo' back ya'll, here I come ya'll
For years I been tryin to rip rhymes & get mine
Spit lines, hot like lava this time
I don't got a sitcom to bother with
Or a time conflict with my sci-fi hits
I'm contemplating each statement's wit
& I'm concentrating on making hits
& I'm fittin' em line by line
Teeth I grit & I'm tryin to find the perfect rhyme scheme
I'm dreamin' about ya'll gleamin, doubt
"He's back from actin, he's screaming out
how he practiced rap & now he's devout
every album track packs what he's about
In the past he passed with passion, old fashioned"
Boldly mashing, totally crashing
Words up in a disorderly fashion
But back to the lab & guess what happened, KABOOM!
(ooh wee!) "Dude's resilient!" Fresh Prince was hot,
the movies killed him, wait, hold up, stop! You can rebuild him
lock him back in hip hop while Dude's not filming
shock by the film & the TV money, went from scenes with Uncle Phil
to scenes with Sonny, so hard to break free from a guaranteed 20
but its done, so come see the MC, honey!
Everytime he touch the mic, he closes his eyes and he hope to shine
Then like a streak of light, they'd show his name, they'd be like, Aaahhh!
... hey there, here comes Big Will again
.....here comes Big Will again
Uh, check, check
Yo, yo, yo
Across the room shared a little gaze with me
Crazy mama how your scent played with me
Eyes never hiding your heart angelic looking
Faking disinterest but I can tell you're looking
Face to face her eye to eye stance with me
Didn't even say nothing I felt you wanna dance with me
You push me back a little when I kissed your hand
Said you was attracted to me truly but you had a man
I put my finger up (Shhh) don't say nothing
He ain't here is he? We can play or something
He at the crib oh, I see you live with him
What you gone get married to him and have some kids with him
Us could be just a weekend thing
just a weekday thing, just a thing ma
Look we can have everything else
But for tonite let me have you for myself
Girl holla at me
You can have the rest of your life
Give me tonite
You can have the rest of your life
Give me tonite
You can have the rest of your life
Just give me tonite
You can have the rest of your life
Just give me tonite, give me tonite
Whoop! Whoop!

Look in my eyes I'm telling you
All I'm tryna do is change your view
For a moment or two
Baby girl
I don't wanna break up your happy home
Baby I don't wanna be alone
So let me jump in the zone
Can't you feel the Jones
Thinking of living your life as a hundred yards long
Give me a quarter-inch thats all I'm asking
Do the math I'm the sun you the earth
Its U-N-I-verse and its the worst
Cuz I thirst to tape connect her
I know you got a life momma
Trust me I don't wanna bring your life drama
I can barely hear my think slide with me
Dip out the side door take a ride with me
Let me hear about (Uh)
What you think about (Uh)
What you need to do (Uh)
The things you dream about (Whoo)
Your Body with me but I know where your heart's at
Let it ring ma call him back
Wishing I could stop the clock to make it last with you
Am I gon' be at home alone with a glass slipper
Is it a sin to pretend with another fella
Bring it.
Whoo!

ciga-cigar right from Cuba-Cuba

in the middle of the club with the rub-a-dub, unh
no love for the haters, the haters

I got the fever for the flavor of a crowd pleaser
DJ play another

Chorus
eight-fifty I.S. if you need a lift

since I moved up like George and Wheezy

psyche
kiddin'
you thought I took a spill
but I didn't
trust the lady of my life she hittin'
hit her with a drop top with the ribbon
crib for my mom on the outskirts of Philly
you trying to flex on me
don't be silly
getting jiggy wit it
Yo, Big Will in the place to be, mic check...mic check..
Would you love me in the shack in a shanty town
Would you love me if my pants was hand me downs, huh?
Yo, yo,
Often times I hear a phrase when I'm out & about
8 to 80, all walks of life be shouting it out
Usually, when its time for a encore I hear it
Or when I did something hot, evoking the spirit
It's weird, its like a double edge sword when ya'll applaud
It's kinda wild, a peace sign, a smile
How do I respond to the phrase, "I love you Will!"?
Kinda heavy when I hear it, I'd be like damn for real?
In a way it makes me wanna stay strong and moral
But history say I could be gone tomorrow
& though my future looks floral
I feel like I'm hoping for much pain
When people stop shouting my name
& doubting my game & liking others better than me
Writing letters to him instead of to me
A veteran 'B', I know the game, but do me this here,
In your heart be clear before you bless my ear
Come on..
Could you love me if I lived in a shanty town
Could you love me if my pants was hanging down
Could you love me if my wrist ain't bling
If I wasn't on TV & I ain't sing, huh?
Could you love me if my whip wasn't chrome fitted
Would my name be easier to forget it, huh?
Could you love me if wrist ain't bling
If I wasn't on TV & I ain't sing, huh?
I pray before I sit with a pen & a pad
A birth of a thought occurs & it calls me Dad
To the universe an idea released from me
Just a CD, nah man, a piece of me
What you can't see is when you be dancing 'B'
Is I asked you a question, that's how you answer me
So when you don't dance, it be like I'm choking from cancer
Like I wrote rancid rhymes, I can't survive
Sure, I rationalize like, oh, I see..
But if you don't like my cut, its like you don't like me
Some stuff works, some works not so well
Its like you work so hard, still get hurt like hell
Yo, it could tear you apart
But don't let your wins go to your heard
Your losses go to your heart
& if we ever get the pleasure to meet
Be clever with it, measure what you yell in the street
Come on...
Whoo, would you.....
Ha ha
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ha ha
Yo yo
Whoo
A one two a one two
I-I-I-I woke up this morning
Looked at ya picture
Think about when I'm a get wit'cha
Hit ya on the two-way simply to say I gotta see you today
They say love is a gamble and if so, I'm the Bilagio I can't lose
And I guess that make you the mirage
Wait you more exotic than that you like the Taj Mahal momma
You a treasure to me life with you is a plesure to me
And I'm a make sure no man ever measure to me
Like Run and D you and me are together forever
I got an interview to do (whoo)
Then to the plane, that too (whoo)
Uh wear that black dress boo (whoo)
Then close your eyes and open your heart and I'm a give you
All my love
A thousand kisses from you is never to much
All my love
Never too much never too much never too much
Uh huh uh huh
And I just don't wanna stop
Never too much mever too much
Woke up this morning to invite and couldn't (?) write you
I licked your back and then kissed three little kids that look just like you
Love is magic and it's plain and sometimes it just happens
Saw your picture your so surly boy you keep my laughing
We've got a photo shoot can't concentrate my mind is roamin'
Because it's 4 o'clock and at 5:15 you are comin' home and
You know my heart you know my thoughts so ruffneck yet you're tender
The only person ever locked up safe was to surrender
All my love (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
A thousand kisses from you is never to much
All my love
Never too much never too much never too much
Uh huh uh huh
Cause I just don't wanna stop
Never too much mever too much
The way you walk wanna make me say (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
The way you let me make you wanna make me say (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Girl the way you look wanna make me say (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just so you all wanna make me say (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Yo yo me and more it's like a Pichasso painted your ora
It's like Beehtoven composed your vocal tones
Wrote band inspired hand sculpted you the desire of man (uh)
Michel Angelo grieves inside you
Seeds of my wildest dreams fertilized in your eyes
Your compationate and your passion is how you ration it
That makes me swear you was trained how to take me there
Rarely I seen faith be fared
We got a stroke of grace
Remember you was countin me out?
It's crazy we had times of doubt right?
And since the dawn of time written history
Better men better poet than me
Have tried to set verse to the love they knew
Dead to words judge what I do when I give you
A thousand kisses from you is never to much
All my love
Never too much never too much never too much
Uh huh uh huh
And I just don't wanna stop
Never too much mever too much

Mommy I love you
Aww I love you sweetie
I love you too. All the way to the moon
I love you to the moon
Now brothers and sisters
There comes a time in your life you've got to get up and get busy
Can I get a witness?
(Yes, brother, yes!)
Now I don't know if you're prepared to embark upon this journey
But the time is running out
Brother Jazzy, break it down
Liggedy-ladies and gentlemen, hello, and how are you doin all?
Now there's a problem that we really have got to solve
In our society there's a big mess
People are having entirely too much stress
Now me and Jeff, yo, we've been workin on
A way to ease your everyday burdens of
Work and school, because we thought that we should
Make a record that makes people feel good
This is a remedy, simple and basic
You work too hard, come on, face it
You gotta treat yourself, you deserve it
Dance like a wild person, come on, you earned it
Young and old and old and young
Relax, come on, cool out, come and get some
You gotta let yourself go get loose, it's
Cool - dance to the music
TGIF this beat is def
Can I get a witness, Jeff? (Yes)
Are you ready to start things off yet?
Aight bet
Clap your hands and dance, come on, let's do this
Here is a hip-hop track with a new twist
Designed to ignite ya subliminal dance fuse
And even if you can't dance, you can't lose!
It's for everybody, you included
We hooked up a beat and a rhyme and eq'ed it
We put it on a tape and took it to wax
And then we - yo Jeff, where's my beat at?
Oh, there it is, back to the story line
The music and rhymin designed to make you have a (good time)
At the party, or wherever you hear it pumpin
Get up and twist or breakdance or shake somethin
Yo man, this groove is all of that!
And it's different from anything we've done, in fact
I might even go as far as to say
This cut shines bright on the darkest day
And sometimes you really need some light
Like when your teacher or boss ain't actin right
This will quench your thirst to chill, it hits the spot
Give em a taste, yo Jeff, let the beat rock
Now Brother Jazzy
Please enlighten us with a bassline
And for all the people assembled before us
Brother Jazzy, scratch
We're at the top, not the bottom or the middle
We're the freshest, the deffest, the best, Jeff, cut it up a little
(Oh, I get it, you wanna dance!)
oh the time is now to get up and dance and move
And clap and jump and jam and feel the groove
I want you wigglin and jigglin and stompin and shakin
And showin your approval for the records me and Jeff are makin
We got a brand new album out
And dancin and shakin and movin is what it's all about
We want everybody to get busy
You're not down with the rap then get with it
This is a new age, history turned a new page
They said that we would decay and I say who do they
Think they're dealing with, a couple of amateurs?
I'm willin to bet to where this jam hits
At your job and at your school dance and also on the radio
Winter inside the house, summer on the patio
Let me get out of here before I lose it
But remember the motto, y'all: dance to the music
Now now
Ladies and gentlemen of the congregation
We realize you may not be in a position to get up and dance right now
So we'd like to ask of you, if you're in your car, honk your horn
Honk your horn to the rhythm
We'd like to ask, if you're behind the desk at your job
We'd like you to tap your pen and pencil to the rhythm
If you're walkin down the street
You can be a little discreet
And snap your fingers to the beat
But if you are in a position
To get up and dance
We'd like to ask you to wiggle and jiggle and everything you got
And get involved with it
This has been the Reverend signin off
Signin off
Signin off
Some DJ's are (good)
Some DJ's are (fresh)
Some DJ's are even (def)
But here's a little sumtin about my DJ
(the magnificent)
Jazzy Jeff
So bust this beat
Well it's true that I'm the reigning kick of the throne
But with all my strength I couldn't do it alone
I need a DJ like (Jazzy) to back me up
So when I'm rockin on the mic he's on the cross fade cut
Scratching and mixing mixing and scratching
Second after second it's the record he's catching
His hands are so fast that it's a medical riddle
With the turntables split and the mixer in the middle
Back and forth his hands fly with the speed of a cheetah that will puzzle your eye
Record after record he has no mercy
Cuts left cuts right then he cuts vice versa
I'm not exaggerating I said it and I meant it
I'll resent it if you say it is cut unprecedented
He's a lean mean wrecking machine
He gets respected like a king when he's on the scene
So bust a move cause you know he's def
He's my DJ
(the magnificent)
Jazzy Jeff
People often ask me everytime I emcee
Why do I brag so much about my disc jockey
Well the reason that I brag and I boast the most
Is cause my DJ is the most from coast to coast
(the magnificent) Jazzy Jeff wack destroyer
Cutting up records like a samurai warrior
If your DJ's don't know who I'm talking too
(I'm talking to you)
So (cut) cause in a battle you cannot win
My DJ will (tear your butt limb from limb)
He's like a wanna be tank a hip hop rebel
And if you want a battle you best bring a shovel my man
So you can dig your grave cause there no way
That you could ever be saved
Cause (the DJ cuts the records)
To create the sound
(the DJ cuts the records)
He's the best around
(the DJ cuts the records)
You know he's down
His name is Jazzy Jeff aka Jeff Townes
Commanding the cut he's always on track
He's DJ Jazzy Jeff and he's a cut in the act
So for your personal safety you should be told
That my DJ Jazzy Jeff is
(Out of control)
(oh my god)
Aight Jazzy we gonna do a little sumthin different right now
This is what I want you to do for me
I want you to tell all these people your name Jazzy tell em your name
(He's Jazzy Jazzy) (His name is Jeff)
Now Jazzy I want you to tell all these people how many of these DJ's out there can get with you (none of them)
Now make the record burp
Say excuse me
Now make the record sound like a bird
Now make it chirp
Now heres a story that should not be forgotten about the day my DJ turned into an autobot
He got struck by lightning in an electrical storm
He got on the wheels of steel and began to transform
His name is Jeff and he's the swift of the swift
The type that other DJ's do not want to have to reckon with
He's by my side as I rock the mic
All of his vigorous cuts are sure to excite you
They'll delight you you no that that's right
If you were a stick of dynamite his cuts would ignite you
The DJ on the wheels can be matched
So (check out Jazzy Jeff with a cordless scratch)
This is a story I'll never forget
About the day my new car got hit
It caught me off guard cause it happened so quick
When I heard the crash I got mad as hell
Cruising down the highway fast not slow
Ninety miles an hour in my five point o
People waving at me cause they know who I am
Alpine stereo blasting a jam
Put the top down said my girlfriend
Then my damn hat blew off in the wind
I got kind of mad cause it's the hat I just bought
I should of put her out it was all her fault
Day was Friday date was the tenth
My girl was looking good on her strength
She smacked my hand when I put it on her knee
I said hit me again and I'll break your wrist
That day I dressed all in white
Taking my girl to Palm Springs for the night
I was hoping I could find a short cut
I was tired plus I had a rash on my butt
There was this lady in a pinto coup
About ninety years old I could tell by the droop
Driving all fast border line insane
Glasses so thick couldn't stay in her lane
I swerved left and I swerved right
But she was still tale gating me too damn tight
To the left lane I tried to switch then
You saw my blinker bitch
We both pulled off on the side of the road
I was hot ready to explode
The only thing stopping me from breaking her nose
Was I was 21 and she was ninety years old
Then the police came turned the lights off
The lady started crying and the cop got soft
The cop said oh it'll be okay
Wrinkled old bag looking like a sharpe
I said wait what's going on cap
Her cars fine my cars all wrecked
Then I saw what happened in the crash
Her dentures came out got stuck in the dash
You hit me I didn't hit you
Stop holding your neck lady you can't sue
It's your fault you caused all this
You saw my blinker bitch
Wednesday, October the fourth
That's when we got our day in court
That lady destroyed my case
When she came in a wheelchair and a neck brace
I jumped up I said you must be joking
Come on judge her neck ain't broken
Well I'll be damned
Wrinkled old bag started crying on the stand
The bailiff grabbed me slammed me on the ground
Judge said boy you better come down
Aren't you one of them damn rap singers
Yeah, then I gave him the finger
Judge held me contempt of court
For giving him the finger and things of that sort
Anything to say before you're dismissed
Just one you saw my blinker bitch
Uh there we go
Let me go and jig this thing on out
Go ahead baby you got it
Big Will raising the roof raising the roof
Show him how to do it Will
Observe the high roller
Mic controller
Number one hip hop son
Call me solar
Why cause I shine
Praise the Big Willie I'm
Raised in Philly I daze and thrillin' ya
Don't be silly ya can't see me

Just get with it my friend (Damn another award)
That kid done did it again (Oh my Lord)
The fantastic
Boombastic
Getting ten times hotter than any you other cats get
Practice
You lack this
I'm the real McCoy
First with Jeff I was startin
Then with Martin I'm a Badboy
See more green than David Bantha
More juice than Tropicana
You hawking me like Atlanta
Emcees just flee they rightfully concerned
Big Will wants the mic back it's my turn to burn
Verse two verse two (blaze em one)
I'm back attacking the mic
Hype like a Viking
Striking like a python
Blaze like Jon
A hip-hop icon emcee radical
Back on track from my rap act sabbatical
Nine point six on the ricter
Kicked her, ears so slickta
Chicks quickta flip the
Bright glance and the tight pants for the slight chance
Big Willie can we get one dance
Why yes you may and I'm just saying
That dress you playing is a okay an
This is your chance for at least it could be
For you an you girlfriend on the dance floor menage boogie
On the scene I fronts and dashing fashion
Lost my cream once,now I'm stashin cashin
Countries and currencies like a true Don
It's a new time and its mine watch me shine
The way I blaze through the days and nights
How I deal with the craze my momma raised me right
Whether I'm on stage or in the studio booth
A hundred proof raisin the roof raisin the roof
Chorus:
(And Y'all know)
Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(She knows)
Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(He knows)
Can't nobody get it hot like me
(You know)
Y'all need to stop cause ya can't see me
(Y'all know)
Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(e knows)
Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(She knows)
Can't nobody get it hot like me
(Y'all know)
Y'all need to stop cause ya can't see me
(Blaze em y'all)
Seven continents I bruise all cruise
Adidas, kilts, or bamboos and no shoes
Eskimos to Aborigines
I'll test the flows of the world's emcees
I'll hit you out the ball park
You just all talk
Don't be looking at my script,you can't play my part
See I'm a rapper that's an actor
You act rap with no heart
The way that I compose those flows like Mozart
Gets something like a symphony, when I'm orchestrating em
Ever since the days of me and Jeff at the Paladium
All my life I've been the cream of the crop
Shopping a dream now I got a crop full of cream
I raise mics for the flow of it, you know the show of it
Not the Benz 600 four door of it (keep it real yo)
I'm a rhyme regardless of earning
Long as my heart keeps yearning
I gots ta keep burning
(Y'all know)
Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(She knows)
Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(He knows)
Can't nobody get it hot like me
(You know)
Y'all need to stop cause ya can't see me
-repeat-
Now this is the story all about how
my life got flipped, turned upside down
and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelphia born and raised
on the playground is where I spent most of my mays
chillin out, maxin, relaxin all,cool
shooting some b-ball outside of the school
when a couple of guys who were up no good
started makin trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
and said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
license plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror
if anything I could say that this cab was rare
but I thought "nah.. forget it, yo home to Bel-Air"
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
and I yelled to the cabby "Yo , ho smell you later"
looked at my kingdom I was finally there
to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air
sup in the hood?
[Will Smith]
Here it comes the party of a lifetime
31st of December
Man I remember when the ball dropped for 90
Now it's 9-9, ten years behind me
What's gonna happen
Don't nobody know

Chaos, the cops gonna block the street
Man who the hell cares

[Will Smith]
There's a party tonight
Everybody was drinking
The house was screaming
And the bass was shaking
And it won't be long
Till everybody knowing
That twelve o'clock the roof will be blowing
Drinks on me, up the cups, and
Midnight coming at full thrust, and
Dick Clark holding it down, and
The second hand rolling around (Na, na, na, na)
Hundred thousands deep, world wide press
Hate to be the man that gotta clean this mess
Same resolution, get the money
Ain't where we've been, it's where we gonna be
Get ready to hum, hum Auld Ang Syne
Cause a person that know the words is hard to find
First soul train line of the year
Four, three, two, one
[K-Ci]
Its here and I like it
Gonna pack the dance floor
Rock the dance floor
[K-Ci]
Here it comes another year
Come on everyone, new millennium

Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah
[Will Smith]
I remember trying to count how old I'd be
When the clock struck twelve in the year two g
Medianoche finally near
This will be that anthem amongst the cheers
Just the man to usher it in
Big Will bringing the heat
K-Ci bringing the plan
Ringing it in, waiting for the ball to drop
That 2000 vault we breaking the lock
Let hip-hop keep blazing the charts
May the past keep a warm spot in your heart
May the future hold more joy then pain
Hands in the air waiting for confetti to rain
[K-Ci]
Its here and I like it
Gonna pack the dance floor
Rock the dance floor
[K-Ci]
Here it comes another year
Come on everyone, new millennium
Here it comes another year
Everyone, new millennium
[Will]
There's a party tonight
Everybody was drinking
The house was screaming
And the bass was shaking
And it won't be long
Till everybody knowing at twelve o'clock
At 12 o'clock
Say what Say what Say what What
[K-Ci]
Here it comes another year
Come on everyone, new millennium
Here it comes another year
Everyone, new millennium

Hey Tokyo, come on
Everybody say what now
Say what now, saw what now
Come on, come on, come on
Well I was cool and sitting by the phone and waiting for
A ring with a female voice or a date or
An invitation to a nightclub for some minglin
But ahh
My phone started jinglin
Picked it up
I checked the rolex first
I call one of my regulars worst come to worst
I said hello
But the voice sounded nervous
Baby relax fp at your service
The girl spoke up and her voice sounded very nice
I met you last week at that club called the paradise
I said yeah babe I'd like to go their again
Get dressed and you better be flossy at ten
Hung up the phone and checked the mirror
Sort of like esp I could hear her
Heart beating encaged with the groove
And all I could say to myself was
Damn this boy is smooth
So I pulled up to the club at the gate where they let celebs in
Entre booted a porsche 9-11 then
Girls took a look at me and started to break
Ladies come down I've already got a date
Cruised up front and I was happy to find her
Tantalising tasty tune named tanya
I said ay yo babe lets not go in the place yet
Come on hope in I got luther in the tape deck
I kicked the gift and the girl was like silly putty
She said lets go some place and chill I said really honey
We went to the beach to take a little walk
I found out I was smoother than I thought
My hands like maverick started to wander
Left and right then wound up behind her
Face to face and chest to chest and ohh like a spindle of silk
Yo this boy is smooth
Here it is
Verse trace
Back at my place
The scene was set because I set it before I left
Girl im like a tool grab me and use me
Where do you want me by the fireplace or the jacuzi
I never slipped yo I got my grip like a handle
Turn down the lights and lit up a candle
A bottle of chilled champagne right beside me
Radio booming pumpin the isley
Maybe I'll grab her and give her a kiss
Or kick her a line on the smooth billy dee tip
Or maybe ill take her outside where the pools at
Smack it up flip it naa im too cool for that
Ahh I know what I'll do
Hold her tightly and caress for a little while
Make it gentle and slow not faster
Pause for the cause and heres a word from the master
Yo I'm the j-a-double z-jazzy
Smooth as self smooth than I have to be
knowing acknowledged recognised that that's the king of the groove
and I'm the man that blessed FP is smooth
ay yo j take me out
- Why, why, why, why, why. Why
I really wish I could explain it baby (why),
It's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),
Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why),
Don't cry, dry your eyes
September 11th, I woke up about 7am, west coast time, French toast and my
Turkey bacon, taking my time, awakin', turning my TV on
To my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw
Me & my children, images were chillin'
My son said, "Daddy were there people in that building?"
A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest
I heard his question, couldn't bring my lips to say "Yes" to him
That night at my son's side, he cried & prayed
For the one's who died in the World Trade
His palms to God, seeds and qualms with God
He just kept on pressin' me, wanna know why
Then one week later our bombs were dropped
We seein' them on CNN, they just won't stop
The infrared images of brutal attack
He said, "Daddy now we killin' em back"; (right, right)
Mmmmm, souls are captured
Dreams are stolen, hearts are broken
Evil blatantly rewarded
Hate surrenders, Love exalted
Hope elated, negativity is shorted
Why is the bomb always getting the last word
& why did her uncle have to molest her
& why did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill
& why did all them priests have to act so ill
Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched
Tell me why did Malcolm & Martin depart from us
Tell me why did that sniper make the little boy shoot
& why does human life always denied for loot
Tell me why did Mandela have to live in a cage
Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age
Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate
& why the f*@k can't love seem to defeat hate
Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat
Why did Pac & Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street
Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way
Please what am I supposed to say to my kids when they say 'Why?'
Can't explain it baby, life is just really crazy
I mean if it's world wars or the life of a little baby
We got more stores than they got rice under Buddha lazy
You live four scores & still it be driving you crazy
But for me I try to see the bright side
Sometimes it'd be like the goodness be tryin' to hide
Then try to flee, but it can't it's deep inside

Fat, ugly chicks in New York on the radio, saying I’m gay

Shadow dreams
Dreams of a shadow
The analogy of a shadow dream
Dreams are to shadows as your shadows are to your dreams
In the deepest of the darkness it seams as though they're gone
In the light they are visible
Yet intangible and illusive
Your shadow is the true validation of the fact that you exist
Hence shadow dreams
And here we go
Shadow dreams they seem so distant
But the light is strong and no you can't resist it
Keep on pushing, hold out your hand
But light is your friend go on In ?carrolan?
Its always darkest before the light
Nothing's worth having if its not worth a fight
No love without labor, no labor no love
Draw on the strength bestowed from above
What can go wrong will go wrong
But if you fall of a horse just get back on
'I have a dream' the man stated
A shadow dream that he chased to his grave
Just because a dream is lurking in the shadows doesn't mean that you should just forget it
I mean you work and you push and you sweat and you toil and you strive and drive till you get it shadow dreams
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow (shadow dreams)
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow
Every dark cloud is hiding a silver lining
But don’t forget to mobilise, keep on climbing
Do all you can to keep your shadow alive
Because your not far behind if your shadow dies
Make sure you stop and you check tonight
That your shadow is behind you when you walk through the light
Cause a man without a shadow ain't a man at all
I mean I take it just for granted that my homies on the wall
Kids see the shadows and they wanna play
But sometimes their stolen, taken away
Adults are the thieves, the kids get robbed
Throw away that shadow boy go and get a job
Just because the dream is lurking in the shadows doesn’t mean that you should forget it
I mean you work and you push and you sweat and you toil and you strive and drive till you get it shadow dreams
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow (shadow dreams)
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow
Fourteen years old I used to want a beamer
I guess you could say I was what you'd call a shadow dreamer
I told my father that I didn't think I'd ever get in
I said I might as well just forget it
My father said son, don’t be talking so dumb
Hard work and education makes anything come
And plus a shadow dream ain't as far as ya seem son
You used to be a shadow dream
Life is a mystery but lets check history
To see how many peoples shadow dreams came true
And if the other peoples shadow dreams are equal then why cant the next shadow dreamer be you
That’s the philosophy I live my life by
When things get hard through the stress and strife I
Keep on pushing with a full head of steam
Like a train through the tunnel to my shadow dream
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow (Dreams)
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow (Dreams)
Uh ha
Shadow Dreams
Dreams of a shadow…
When we rock the house there is no doubt (is no doubt)
That me and Ready C will turn it out (turn it out)
We're down with the DJ Jazzy Jeff (Jazzy Jeff)
And you know that we are def (that we're def)
And you should not settle for less
Than the undisputed best
That's right, we are the best
Everywhere we (go), every time we do a (show) Everybody wants to (know) how we make em say (ho)
The way we do is not a magical trick
It's just a lotta def rhymes (just like this)
Somebody yell 'hoooHooo-ho Say 'ho, ho' Ho, ho
Now I'm the Fresh Prince, hello, how do you do?
I just have a little fun with the rest of my crew
So take a chill and just relax
Yo, Ready C, pretend that you're a D.J. and scratch
Go Ready Rock, go Ready Rock...
All right now, bust a move And get the hell out if you're tryin to bust the groove
Cause we came to party - all through the night
And we're excommunicating those who don't act right This is a - party), so grab somebody
Drink some Ba cardi and dance with everybody
The feeling's good, some people think it's great
Get on the dance floor and let your body dirate In cadence with the beat, just move your feet
While the Prince is on the rhyme (Ready C is on the beat)
My.. beat box rocks everywhere we go Getting utterly respected at every show
No other can beat me. No girl can out-freak me (Man, I'm getting tired)
Ready C, give me a beat, please
He does a lot that others cannot do Ready C and the Prince, the toughest two man crew
We're coming out rockin and we're takin what's ours
Ready C is the man and the suckers he devours
Beat after beat he gains respect
Ready C is the man that's keepin others in check
I like to rock with him, side by side
Me and Ready cold chillin with the utmost pride
So if you're not down by law to rock the spot
Then get the hell out, cause we're never gonna stop
My beatbox We been rockin kinda hard ever since we begun
Yo Ready C, man, play Stanford and Son (Ready C- playing standford and son)
Now play it under water (Ready C)
How 'bout a fresh beat A fresh beat Ready C, how 'bout a fresh beat A fresh beat Bust it (Ready C)
Well, his name is Ready C, and I'm tellin you
He can play a beat forwards and backwards too (Ready C)
Play it backwards Go Ready Rock, go Ready Rock... Bust it Backwards
Do you know where you're going to
And do you like the things that Ready C is showin you? (Showing you)
where you're goin to (goin to) Do you know that we are down by law?
We want you all to know that we're primal of all
And when we rock the house there is no doubt
That me and Ready C will turn it out
Do you know where you're goin to
And do you like the things that Ready C is showin you?
All this excess stress I can’t take it
Slow that thing down, pump ya brakes kid
Why you gotta be all up in her face kid?
The ABS will get you numbers & the name kid
I mean really, houndin’ ol’ girl, was that really necessary
See your itinerary is all off
You need to be hauled off
She start flippin’, she ain’t trippin’ it’s your loss.
This is a simple case of an anti-brake pumper
You don’t have to talk to women bumper to bumper
That mighta got you a couple of numbers when you were younger
But dude switch your whole approach, that ain’t proper
Be a gentleman& try to be gentle man
The essence of stimulation mental man
But if your acting like you just got out the kennel man
Put your foot on the pedal & pump
(CHORUS- SNOOP DOGG)
If your girl’s in ya face & she’s outta place
What you need to tell her is… PUMP YA BRAKES
If you’re out with your girls & he’s pressin’ you hard
What you need to tell him is…PUMP YA BRAKES
Now if you’re underage & you’re actin’ all grown
What you need to do is PUMP YA BRAKES
If you’re offended by this record, then you know that’s you
What you need to do is…PUMP YA BRAKES
Outside the restaurant Girl sees Boy, Girl likes Boy
Girl meets Boy, Boy doesn’t know that Girl thinks he’s fly
Boy’s a nice guy, so Boy says ‘Hi’
Boy’s Girlfriend returns from going to park
She sees them together this ignites a spark
Boy’s girlfriend has a real loud bark
Now this is where the pumpin’ of the brakes should start
Girlfriend thinks that something’s going on
Girl tells Girlfriend nothings going on
Boy’s in the middle of the commotion beginning
Girlfriend’s mad cause Boy keeps grinning
Now, why is he grinning but that’s beside the point
Girlfriend should chill before they roll up in the joint
Jumping to conclusions gets you no where honey
Pump ya brakes or be a crash test dummy
Dummy
(CHORUS)
SNOOP DOGG VERSE:
Rule #1, is just like #2 the who do’s and what nots & what you should dizz-oo
No loud talking, no back talking, If you do either, believe it, you’re
back walking
I hate to sound rude but then again, I have to
My rap thang and my mack game, It’ll smack you , click clack you, spit at you
I don’t do it cause I want to, I do it cause I got to
I got a question to ask you, would you fall, stand tall, ball, or let em
smash you
If I was you & you was I, would you keep it G or would you stay fly
If you was rich in a ditch, living low, would you push the button,
Keep it cuttin’ or would you just let it go
Calm down little homey & know what your dealing with before you run up on me
CHORUS
In the place to be
DJ Jazzy Jeff and yours truly the Fresh Prince
Ay Jeff, do me a favor, give em just a lil touch of the bass
Not a lot, just a lil' touch Jeff
Word word
Ay Jeff do me a favor man, Jazz it up
Now bring it all back
Yo man now break it down and let me go for mine
When I first started out, Jeff used to come to my house
Just as soon as school let out, he used to come to my crib, and you know what we did
We bugged out like two little kids, word
Jeff on the wheels, and me on the m-i-c
A better combination there could never be
So let's go back, for old time's sake
Yo Jeff! (what) Pump up the bass
I like my music loud
The volume, pumpin, the kick drum thumpin
The people jumpin, up out there seats when this record comes on, you think something's wrong
The bass is too strong
You don't have to check your record, it's not defective
It's just the way we wanted it, pump it, get it
We like it loud, strong like a magnum force
I am the lyricist Jeff is the rhythm source
This combination, is virtually omnipotent
That means invincible, you know, dominant
So don't you cross our path just stay out our face
Or we'll knock you down, or pump up the bass
Yo Jeff man, how bout a funky scratch
Now get funky with it
Now bring in the snare
Now break it down and bring it all back to me
Now pump up the bass
I'm hyped psyched up and I'm flowing so come on let's go in to the next segment, of this hip-hop fantasy
You say this can't be happening, why can't it be
It's an equation, mathematically correct
It's Jeff plus Prince, equals, hit records
Sounds too easy word, I know it does
You wanna know why well yo it's cause me and Jeff, oh, Jeff and I, excuse me
Blend like Kool-Aid, and flow like an uzi
That's why we can't be taken or broken or braken, whatever
And if you think we can, you're mistaken, we're clever
Cause all we did to make this record a hit
Was turn down the treble, pump up the bass kit
At the same time the volume was increased
Adding more strength, to this masterpiece
Of poetry, by now you know it's me
Poet, creativity, pushin, to out destiny
I am on the M-I-C, Jeffery is the Disc Jockey
And to keep us company, the human beat box Ready C
Backed up by a family, and that is all we need
So that we can be successful as we want to be
The future is in front of me so here is a taste
Of the future of hip-hop Jeff, pump up the bass!
Yo Jeff one more scratch man
Ready Rock C man give Jeff a hand

You know parents are the same
No matter time nor place
They don't understand that us kids
Are going to make some mistakes
So to you, all the kids all across the land
There's no need to argue
Parents just don't understand
I remember one year
My mom took me school shopping
It was me, my brother, my mom, oh, my pop, and my little sister
All hopped in the car
We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
My mom started bugging with the clothes she chose
I didn't say nothing at first
I just turned up my nose
She said, 'What's wrong? This shirt cost $20'
I said, 'Mom, this shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar!'
The next half hour was the same old thing
My mother buying me clothes from 1963
And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
I asked her for Adidas and she bought me Zips!
I said, 'Mom, what are you doing, you're ruining my rep'
She said, 'You're only sixteen, you don't have a rep yet'
I said, 'Mom, let's put these clothes back, please'
She said 'no, you go to school to learn not for a fashion show'
I said, 'This isn't Sha Na Na, come on Mom, I'm not Bowzer
Mom, please put back the bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers
But if you don't want to I can live with that but
You gotta put back the double-knit reversible slacks'
She wasn't moved - everything stayed the same
Inevitably the first day of school came
I thought I could get over, I tried to play sick
But my mom said, 'No, no way, uh-uh, forget it'
There was nothing I could do, I tried to relax
I got dressed up in those ancient artifacts
And when I walked into school, it was just as I thought
The kids were cracking up laughing at the clothes Mom bought
And those who weren't laughing still had a ball
Because they were pointing and whispering
As I walked down the hall
I got home and told my Mom how my day went
She said, 'If they were laughing you don't need the,
'Cause they're not good friends'
For the next six hours I tried to explain to my Mom
That I was gonna have to go through this about 200 more times
So to you all the kids all across the land
There's no need to argue
Parents just don't understand
Oh-kay, here's the situation
My parents went away on a week's vacation and
They left the keys to the brand new Porsche
Would they mind?
Umm, well, of course not
I'll just take it for a little spin
And maybe show it off to a couple of friends
I'll just cruise it around the neighborhood
Well, maybe I shouldn't
Yeah, of course I should
Pay attention, here's the thick of the plot
I pulled up to the corner at the end of my block
That's when I saw this beautiful girlie girl walking
I picked up my car phone to perpetrate like I was talking
You should've seen this girl's bodily dimensions
I honked my horn just to get her attention
She said, 'Was that for me?'
I said, 'Yeah'
She said, 'Why?'
I said, 'Come on and take a ride with a helluva guy'
She said, 'How do I know you're not sick?
You could be some deranged lunatic'
I said, 'C'mon toots - my name is the Prince =
Beside, would a lunatic have a Porsche like this?'
She agreed and we were on our way
She was looking very good and so was I, I must say - word
We hit McDonald's, pulled into the drive
We ordered two Big Macs and two large fries with Cokes
She kicked her shoes off onto the floor
She said, 'Drive fast, speed turns me on'
She put her hand on my knee, I put my foot on the gas
We almost got whiplash, I took off so fast
The sun roof was open , the music was high
And this girl's hand was steadily moving up my thigh
She had opened up three buttons on her shirt so far
I guess that's why I didn't notice that police car
We're doing ninety in my Mom's new Porsche
And to make this long story short - short
When the cop pulled me over I was scared as hell
I said, 'I don't have a license but I drive very well, officer'
I almost had a heart attack that day
Come to find out the girl was a twelve-year-old runaway
I was arrested, the car was impounded
There was no way for me to avoid being grounded
My parents had to come off from vacation to get me
I'd rather be in jail than to have my father hit me
My parents walked in
I got my grip, I said, 'Ah, Mom, Dad, how was your trip?'
They didn't speak
I said, 'I want to plead my case'
But my father just shoved me in the car by my face
That was a hard ride home, I don't know how I survived
They took turns -
One would beat me while the other one was driving
I can't believe it, I just made a mistake
Well parents are the same no matter time nor place
So to you all the kids all across the land
Take it from me
Parents just don't understand
f/ Tra-Knox
[Chorus - Tra Knox - singing]
Nothin's on my mind - 16X
[Verse 1 - Will Smith]
Today I'm goin' freestyle
And everythin' is gonna be about me now
And I ain't doin' nothin', I'm gonna cool out
A little somethin' bumpin', but not too loud
Nothin' jumpin'
I'm gonna get my golf clubs
Or call me a masseuse, and get me a soft rub
Or noddin' with a mimosa, in my hot tub
Or two-way momma me, let's go and get a nice scrub
Yeah maybe that, or maybe I could swim some
Or rollin' in my Bentley, follow my rims some
Where? Yo, I don't know, care if none of my friends come
A hat and shades go out and try to blend some, yeah right
Days off is hard to come by
Especially for Hollywood's number one guy
So let me get to movin', while the sun is high
My cell is off, two-way is off
It's yearly crazy, today is gravy
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - Will Smith]
Half awake and half asleep
As I watch the sun, it slightly moved a little past its peak
And I feel like Tom Hanks but it's perfect, I'm a "Cast Away"
Agenda full of nothin' but stuff to pass today
My sister asked me to cook somethin'
But that would fall into the category of doin' somethin'
And I done already said to ya'll that I ain't doin' nothin'
So let me say it again to be clea,r I ain't doin' nothin'
Hmm, phew, a breather
I meant what I meant, when I said, when I said it's all leisure
Neither, chart toppin' crowd pleaser
Phone rang Jada said, "Uhh he's uhh," I ain't home, so turn that phone off
Come and sit on my lap, and take a load off
And lay down into my arms, and we could doze off
To work as much as I work, I must be thrown off, what a day
[Chorus]
[Tra-Knox]
Yo, yo, yo, mic check, mic check
Ah, that's cool
[Will Smith]
That's hot right
[Tra-Knox]
Yeah, alright I'm gonna do the umm
[Will Smith]
Hey Ramon help me out dog
[Tra-Knox]
This is hot
[Will Smith]
Yo chief, yo Tone, come on
[Chorus]
Nothin's on my mind - 25X
(Ooh, Ohh)
Here I stand before you - brown.
Color of the mountains
Colossal as the earth
Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery
Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind
Here I stand before you, the color of the night
Frozen by the potential of me
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh) An Afro Angel
Afro Angel off your pedestal from perchin above
You on the prowl now, downtown, searchin for love
In all the wrong places, outside your radio stations
Hopin he with new hit single, is tryin to mingle
Today, he is in your town, puttin it down
You in the car with your friends, followin my limo around
Puttin a bug in my boy's ear, your "S" is for free
You'll do anything for Omar or Phil, bring you to me
And then me, hypnotized by the devil as well
Hold out my hand as an invitation into my hotel
No need to RSVP, place your hand in my palm
As all your girlfriends getting jealous, damn she landed the bomb
Willing to trade your spirit for some crass, whack wage
Something small, something simple as a pass back stage
But now I lay me, down to creep
And I - pray the Lord my soul to keep
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
Lil Bobby got a gun now, age fifteen
Destined to spend his life inside a cage it seems
Rage inside, pride, been denied respect
He can't take it though he gotta earn it
But he ain't learned that yet
Out on the town, reckless abandon he's been bullied before
But now he straps, and no more
Attitude high
Flexin on every guy that walk by
But don't start pal
Cuz if the gun came from the whiz, Cowardly Lion, got heart now
Let's pull it on a stranger
Ahh, fun for the crew
Surprised when he realized, damn dude got one too
Smile's upside down now, games ain't so cute
Bobby's a deer in a headlights
Pump, drop it or I'll shoot
Then like a sniper, cleanin his rifle, Bobby disobeys his commands
One shot rings out (gunshot) then only the stranger stands
Could of sworn Bobby's blood formed the shape of an angel's wings
But for what?
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved
Back in high school, Tamika was the sweetest, the bomb
Hot to death, though in tenth grade a teenage mom
Knocked up by some thug named Russ in the drug game
But had the cutest kid you ever seen
Then all the pressure from her mom
She stepped to Russ
Told him it's either them drugs or us
Either them thugs or us
The ultimatum, either continue bein a thug in the world
Or start lovin your girl
And say God, bear me witness, no doubt, lovin ya dear
But to go from $50 Gees a week to $30 Gees a year
That ain't happenin
I guess he wasn't that strong
He came back the next week, and the whole family was gone
Yo they straight moved away, without as little as a word
Well, needless to say, Russ was a little perturbed
Then in a fury put the pressure on her girlfriend Shawn
And like a clumsy chef she spilled the beans on where they had gone
Upstate Schenectady,
Tamika answered the door
It was the last person she expected to be
They just stared
He said you love me for me?
You can do without the cars, vacations, and jewelry?
Down with me?
Period.
Through life's stress and strife
She said, Yeah, He said in that case
Would you please be my wife?
Then like a sign from the sky, the baby cried
Like an angel sings
I love y'all more than anything
Chorus:
Afro Angel, born against the world
You don't have to sell your soul and throw away your pride
Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved

And how ya finger tips gentle like the petales of roses
Maybe it's the way you comb your hair (Comb your hair)

Maybe we should do this thing forever
Remember we met with shakin' T-shirt that first night?
That was the worst night, right?
Well, I mean, we had fun and all, ya, that's true
But you had somebody else and I did too
So it felt like karma and fate had formed a team
To keep me from the girl of my dreams
But in the end, I made friends with hope and destiny
And then, well, the rest is history
But yo, it wasn't easy though, trust
I mean, tryin' to turn you and me into us
You my hommie, my lover, my best friend
The White House to the ghetto
You blend right in and I dig that
I could never imagine this passion I feel
I mean, couldn't imagine it could last what I feel
But if somebody do something to you?
Shoooot, girl I might just.....
I must tell you how I love you
Mabye your my soul-mate
Maybe my best friend
You made me and molded me
A better man, yes I can believe in love

Who else could it be BUT me?
Rub your eyes, behold the Big Williest

See me servin like the U.S. Open
Another type of hustler listed at Blockbuster
.. go and ask a movie usher
Who is he? He or she - SFP
Movies, CD's, and TV's, but uh-uh

Somewhere to clear my mind (just cruisin)

[Will Smith]
Sun settin in the S-K-Y
Must say I've had the best day I'm..
tryin to find a exit, a place to chill
Not too hectic, so I can spend some time with Will
Let the, sunshine to the moonlight clear my mind
Soul search, see what I find
If I'm bein the best lover and friend
Am I being the best daddy I can?
I pray I am, and I feel good today
Reminisce as I'm cruisin around the way
Roll tight past the park where I used to play
Can't think of a better way to spend my day
Uh, still findin my way, still growin
Petrol blowin, moon soon showin
Gots to get goin, losin the light
And "The Freaks Come Out at Night," right
Just cruisin
[Tichina Arnold]
Where, baby, I don't care (just cruisin)
As long as you take me there (just cruisin)
Somewhere to clear my mind (just cruisin)
Just cruisin (I'm just cruisin)
Where, baby, I don't care (just cruisin)
As long as you take me there (just cruisin)
Somewhere to clear my mind (just cruisin)
I always wanted you to be my baby
When you touch me boy you drive me crazy
I don’t wanna be your secret lover
When I get you boy there’ll be no other
You and me its gotta be (the real thing)
Diamond, gold I’ll set you free (my baby)
Wait too long boy I’ll be gone (so hurry)
Wanna get this love don’t do me wrong
What you find now ( I think I love you)
What you feel now (I think I need you)
What you know now ( to be real)
I get with you boy on one condition
If you promise not to ever mention
All the things we do to any of your friends
I will promise you love never ends
You and me its gotta be (the real thing)
Diamond, gold I’ll set you free (my baby)
Wait too long boy I’ll be gone (so hurry)
Wanna get this love don’t do me wrong
What you find now ( I think I love you)
What you feel now (I think I need you)
What you know now ( to be real)
[Will Smith]
I pulled up 2 the front door of your love and I
Knock knocked and you opened up now you
Can't get enough, you was thinking one lil’ date
Ate sushi wit ya soul mate
Dead the ice or the SUV's
Our love grows you chose to water the seas
You the one I’ve fallen for the more we walk down love's corridor
the angels all applaud (I want ya)
See the look in my eyes don't ya
Like a kid in my whip with Willy Wonka
Like back in the day playin wit Tonla
Gimme ya palm ma lemme read ya fortune
I see trust with hard times and honesty
We gon' go down in history
One look in your face just prove the fact
that u don't have 2 chase what u can attract
now what's real
What you find now ( I think I love you)
What you feel now (I think I need you)
What you know now ( to be real)
What you find now ( got to be real)
What you feel now (got to be real)
What you know now ( to be real)
What you find now
What you feel now
What you know now ( to be real)
(This is how it goes)
Give me your attention, stop what you're doin and listen up
Because my partner in rhyme is about to tear it up
Jeff, is if someone said that your beats don't excite
And that your cuts were wack, what would you say (Yeah, right!)
Jeff's about to give an incredible display
And unequivocally prove that he's the best DJ
His name is Jazzy Jeff and he's preparin to shake and make you move
To this long and strong theme song, Jazzy's Groove
And it'll (make em clap to this)
(Make em clap to this)
Hey yo, Jeff
(Come on, yeah)
And it'll (make em clap to this)
And it'll (make em clap to this)
(Come on, yeah)
You know, a lot of deejays, they're just short pieces of statues
My deejay's swift and exciting and coming at you
To other deejays Jeff is just too much
He doesn't use the line switch as a transform crutch
Never missin beats, always on time with the rhyme
You know the scratches are fine when intertwined with a bass line
Live in concert, Jeff is never Memorex
You don't believe he's def check the flex
[ Jeff cuts up ]
(Don't stop to the rhythm, cause I..)
I could talk forever, but still never explain
Why deejays flee when they hear Jeff's name
Jeff is number one, even though he just begun
Rulin hip-hop as if he was Attila the Hun
We make records, it all adds up a kaleidoscope
We work hard, so people can't deny that it's dope
Some music makes you shake, some makes you move
(Now here's what I want y'all to do...)
This beat is dope and it's called Jazzy's Groove
(Come on, yeah)
(Come on, yeah)
(Now here's what I want y'all to do)
(Breakdown)
Music has a tendency, a way of makin you feel it
It's been a secret and Jeff is about to reveal it
He'll get you hype, no DJ as def as Jeff is
He makes you smile and bow while he's flexin
He's a magician of sorts, it's kind of a sport
Jeff houses the wheels like Michael Jordan the courts
Ask who's the best and people all say that Jeffrey is
Here's a math lesson, so you can all see how def he is
(1) plus (1) is (2)
(Once again back its the incredible)
And (2) plus (1) is (3)
(The music just turns me on)
And (2) plus (2) is (4)
(Play it on the radio)
And (1) plus (2) is (3
(Hit it!)
(Breakdown)
Look, it's simple, just admit it
Jeff is the deffest, you wanted a battle, forget it
You're a fool, you're slippin, you're looney, you're crazy
No ifs, no ands it be just your butt, baby
The music is dope, don't fight it, just give in
Hey yo Jeff, man, tell em why you did it
(I made the beat hype, but still kinda smooth)
And it's dope, right (For sure)
Jazzy's Groove
It's all good pop the bubbly life is lovely
All sun no rain
No strain, can't complain
Pass Hell pain, but lord kumbaya
Now I Boom shaka-laka-laka Boo-ah-ah
I got the good life, no strife, real nice
And I'm a papa my son Trey haha
And when I'm on tour he be mad I'm gone
But then he smile an come running screaming daddy's home
Then he hold me slightly tightly
Mom, your wish came true I got one just like me
My life be so good, so good
A jigga jigga ajigga jigga good
Things come to those who wait
But too late my life's to great to wait
I wanna celebrate good times come on
Chorus:
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good (la di da di da)
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good (ha ha)
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good (ha ha ha ha)
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good
I wake up every morning in the canopy bed
Slip a kiss to the Miss, you the man she says
Mirror, mirror, need I call?
You know, uno, bad breath an all
Times I been fed up, still didn't let up
'Stead a doin dirt, did work and kept my head up
Set up
For the future, much love to my girl
North Pole got my butt cold (sitting on top of the world)
And I'm feeling (so high)
Touch the ceiling (the sky)
You say I smile cause I'm on top of the pie
But yo, the cream can only finance the smile for a little while
My grin got longevity, got family backing me
That's why I'm living happily
Ever after, love and laughter
Hustle cause I wants to, not cause I have to
Ask yourself, who made the polar caps melt?
FP, the phenomenon, true Don Juan, Jon Blaze
The Fonz ain't seen my Happy Days
The track plays, I'm in the shades, singing a phrase
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good (Its all good)
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good (Its all good)
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good (all good)
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good (all good)
They say the clothes don't make the man
Take my hand
Watch me freak this
Hot mommy's trying to creep this sleep with this
Trying to entice me to let it off
But nah, (why not?) come on baby you saw Set It Off
Proposition by trio, in Rio
Menage Trois down at the Mardi Gras
But na, my clothes by Versace
Attitude cocky, the scent isimiaki
Like a felon, no telling what I do next
I don't front cause I'm paid, but I do flex
South western crib like a villa
Vacation on a mountain in Manilla
Rhyme spilla, real thriller
And it's real clear
Y'all talkin East and West, I'm talking hemispheres
My papa raised no fool (what)
So many zeros on my check it's like, ooh
Livin lovin, lovin livin, it's all good
I'm lovin livin, it's all good (Its all good)

INTRO:
Yo! If you can’t dance, its cool to get up now
Usually, ya’ll gotta sit on the side, but tonight, it’s cool …slide…
CHORUS
If you can’t dance then this is your jam, baby, left to right all night
Slide that’s all you gotta do… You can’t dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right all night, slide, that’s all you gotta do
Now we all know the boy at the club, all liquored up,
Boy with the bub tryin’ to pick ‘em up, wack dancing,
‘Wooking pa nub’, shirt too bright, pants too tight
Boy settle down
Now I ain’t just messing with you
I got better things to do
I’m trying to help, I got a lesson for you
I know you do the best you could do
Wanna get next to Boo, then the less you do the better
Cause women equate dance with sex
They gon’ see you & be like, ‘Next’!
But you gon’ be like, ‘hold up Ma’ (‘Next!’)
But she gon’ be like, uh huh, (‘Next!’)
Now looka-here, rule #1, know ya name,
if it ain’t Usher, Justin or Hammer, then we can touch ya
Rule #2, never do a dance you can’t do, why stupid,
Cause you can’t do it
CHORUS
So I’m up in my spot in Miami the other night, right
& this Dude’s out on the floor OD-ing, just way ‘over-dancing’
So his Mommy wanna holla at me
She thought my name was Billy, I told her it was Willie
She said she watch my TV show & I was very silly
Told her I was from Philly she looked at me said, ‘Really?’
& judging from her t-shirt, I could tell that she was chilly
So I gave her my sweater, she said her name was Etta
She said she come from Cuba and she just had bought a Jetta
She said she was glad I met her, let’s go somewhere together
She said she’d ride in my car cause she knew that it was better
The conversation cookin’, attention getting’ tookin’
My Spidey senses tinglin’, I felt somebody lookin’
Now who this brotha lookin’, & now he runnin’, bookin’
I’m mad I’m like a fisherman, I almost had my hook in
I figured I should get up & quickly clear my head up,
Cause Etta got a man & I’m feelin’ kinda set-up
Now Dude was really fed up & yo, he wouldn’t let up
Homey if I hit you, you might never ever get up
Now he was not a dancer, plus he wasn’t handsome
Comin’ like Mel Gibson, like I had his girl for ransom
Yo, Pedro wanna go out side, yo amigo, tranquillo… slide
CHORUS
Now rule #3 is easy, please remember that you ain’t on “Beat Street”
Sweet feet, you ain’t tryin’ to win no TV, another dude did a move
No need to out do it
Rule #4, out on the floor, don’t be doing moves that don’t nobody do no more
Draw too much attention to be adventurous out on the floor
There’s a reason that don’t nobody do ‘em no more, you feel me?
This may be hilarious, but Rule #5 is serious, it’s a shame that we have
to discuss
That there’s no lip biting or pelvic thrusts
I mean you think that move will put the sting on her,
you too close, tryin’ to put a ring on her?
You don’t know that girl, don’t cling on her & don’t put your thing on
her…cool?!
CHORUS
Yo, ain’t no better man for this hype track
Just the veteran taking the mic back
David Letterman even said he like that track man
Even though he ain’t a rap fan
Black radio, they won’t play though
Ever since “Summertime” they ain’t liked none of mine
Even though the fans went out & bought enough
I guess they think Will ain’t hard enough
Maybe I should just have a shoot out
Run up in the bank, bustin’, grabbin’ all the loot out
Whoop somebody ass, taking my boot out
Right on TV so ya’ll can see me
Just ignorant, attacking, actin’ rough
I mean, then will I be black enough
Oh wait maybe I’ll jack a truck
Full of cigarettes, guns & drugs & stuff
CHORUS – (2xs)
Get that
I wish I would of made that
Lean back
I wish I would of made that
I wish I woulda told the girls to ‘drop it like it hot’
Summer, Summer, Summertime
Seem like all I got
VERSE 2
I always envied how ya’ll rock wit Dre & the Chronic
The way that Tupac, Biggie, 50 and Jigga got it
A lot like L.L., Chuck D, Slick & Dougie
I think ya’ll love me, but ya’ll place other rappers above me
& I don’t know if you feel my flow
& be at my show & you’ll see where I should go
On the charts of rhyme arts & thoughts in rap form
Damnit, I expanded the platform
Damnit, this Cat’s on a rap song
Yeah, it ain’t no braids or plats on
Ain’t on stage wit no gats on
You know I’m afraid, getting’ my act on
It might have stunted my growth
But I wanted them both
& I hope that it would be less tougher
You do two things & then they both gonna suffer
I chose to act & it broke my heart not to rap
Prodigal son, clever, better than ever, back
CHORUS
I Loved You
I thought you was the one hon yeah
when I met you at the freaknin'
whoever thought you'd be the type to greet and keep secrets
my friends said don't sleep but I did so now I'm reapin'
desease that I sold I can't beleive you so deceivin'
sneakin' out on the weekends with Michelle
one of your freak friends from the east end she bad as hell
half black and Indonesian the one that tought you treason
cupid shoot me on my heart but damn why'd you leave it bleedin'
I gave you no reason to lie
but you choose to live untrue
knowing how I feel inside
there's no telling what I might do
cause I gave you
Chorus
all my mind
all my soul
from the very start
I gave you full control and you broke my heart
I tried to show you a better way of life
but I see that must be what you like
I loved you more than anything
I tried to build the future turn a house into a home
I wanted us to be one flesh and one bone
it's so hard to keep my sanity
now I can do is sit back and reminisce
look at the pictures in the frames yo
why you playin' games yo
as I think back to the begining we was together
we both loved sports long walks and autumn weather
both wanted kids and a family a strong personality
I liked the way you handled me
candles be lit mood set food set you ready yet
that's what you said while you was massagin' my head
now look here I could never leave you lonely
cause the love you showed me had me feeling like you already had known me
'member when you used to blindfold me till I don't see
use your mind that's what you told me
kissin' me slowly
never was the loud type always on the low key
pretty style but rugged
damn I brother I loved the
the birds of a feather 'sposed to fly together
guess that don't apply to birds of your kind
cuase you only wanted what you wanted like a poacher
came to steal my heart and leave me to die
(I ain't going out like that though)
Instrumental
Loyal fans and newfound followers
Whats up y'all Hello how are you doin out there
You're chillin, I'm winnin
Oh, by the way, the album's out, go get it
We went to the studio and then we made a video
We didn't make a movie though, maybe the next year or so
Yo, I got a message for my fans and friends
The last album was def y'all, and here we go again!
No applause, no applause, thank you, thank you
We're back again, and we're plannin on rockin you
ten times harder than any other crew can
Jeff is like Conan, I'm like Tarzan
In other words, wherever we go
Haha We're runnin the show, but no seriously
It's been a while since we dropped one
But it's out now, go buy the album
If you bought the last one you know it was krush
But if you didn't man, you must not
know what you're missin friend
The last album was dope y'all, and here we go again
A lot of people may not have bought the last album
But yo Jeff, straight up, we can't allow them to go out like that, our music is too def
We produce hit records right and left
Daytime, night time, def beat, def rhyme
Chorus line, bass drum, snare drum, bassline
All of this makes our records rock til the party's end
Here we go again!
When we first came out, we had a smash hit song
Then people started askin what's takin so long for y'all to put another record out for the airwaves
I said hold up let me explain when you hear a record on your radio station
It's probably getting played all throughout the nation
But we got lucky, ours was played in Germany
France, Japan, Sweden London Italy
So therefore, we had to go on tour
City after city encore encore bravo bravo
Sorry we gotta go
We got another show tomorrow night in Rio
The point I'm tryin to make is to let you all know
It takes a long time to travel the globe
But now we gotta start this whole process all over again
The last album was def and here we go again
Special thanks to everyone that helped us
Without you we would not have been able to sell as many records we went top ten
And god willin we'll do it again
It was a long hard road believe me
People tryin to steal from me and deceive me
But that's cool, you live and learn my friends
We did it before and we'll do it again
Now this is a story, all about how
my life got flipped, turned upside-down,
And I'd like to take a minute,
So just sit right there,
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelphia, born and raised,
On the playground is where Ii spent most of my days
Chillin out, maxin', relaxin' all cool,
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, who were up to no good,
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood,
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!'
I begged and pleeded with day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me and my
She gave me a kiss
And then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said 'Might as well kick it!'
First class
Yo this is bad
Drinkin orange juice out of a champaine glass
Is this what the people in Bel-Air livin like?
Hmm...this might be alright
But wait I hear the prissy,
Bushwa and all that
Is this the kind of place that they just send this cool cat?
i don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared
for the Prince of Bel-Air!
Well I,
The plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude,looked like a cop,
standin there with my name out
I ain't tryin to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness
and like lightening dissappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said 'Fresh'
And had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it - Yo, home to Bel-Air!'
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight,
I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo home, smell ya later!'
I looked at my kingdom,
I was finally there!
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air!
Uh, uh

Jazzy Jeff ftg Baby Blak & Paul Yams - For The Love of the Game
*Representt for hip hop not for rap yo*
*Representt for hip hop not for rap*
[Paul Yams]
I got love for the game that's why I'm rhyming always stay in the booth
Never lying to the people always telling the truth
I feel the bass in my chest give power to songs
Girl ripping when I'm home about the hours I'm gone
I can't help it the studio where paul be at
Tried to walk away from it but it called me back
Forget my pride shit I even quit my job
For the one that I love to work music
Recognised by my art that I spill in my game
Pour my heart on the track and have you feeling my pain
Seen a lot of hard times on the way to success
When I'm mad writing a rhyme is my way to express
Lay back and fall deep in a verse
If I was out in the street yo I probably lay a sleep in a hearse
There's nothing like when you on a mic tearing a track
Then you come from out the booth and start hearing it back
Everybody their love the sound that's why they give you hugs and pounds
Now you know you was spittin it
You got the whole run vibing the same
You ain't doing this for dollars and chains
You got love for the game
Love what you do

[Baby Blak]
For the love of the game
I only deal with dollars and change
Switch places from big faces one in the same
With Snares and kicks prepared to mix
In the both till I'm dead
No roof on my head
Even tools in the shed
Got a place to stay
But a place to lay?
That's what I deal with on a day to day
Phone off heat off loan sharks spaghetti no meat balls
At least yall can eat y'all
Feel my strain on a cloudy feel my rain
No food no drink just hunger pains
Thinkin everyday who this chrome 'gone kill
Smile in women face for a home cooked meal
Right now I hate my life
But love the way I write
For real I think I seen my death
Think I like bumming cheese from Jeff?
Pockets of my jeans on e and they seems on f
I'm a hard working all nighter ASCAP sesac song writer worldwide weedhead bong lighta (lp version)
Feel my blood and tears
But my love is the drug that got me loved and revered from thugs for years

And even more on the wax so sat jeff is phat

We gonna do a song
Me and my crew like to play around
Me like to laugh and joke and have fun while we going down
Born and raised in philly
We go jam and jam and jam actin silly
We got a dance we do at a party
That we'd like to introduce to everybody
It ain't the humpty nor the lambada
More party pump than a damn piniata
You may have seen it on my tv show
Yeah I know I dance like a pro
Cause I get busy and I get loose g
On the dance floor cant another brother juice me
Cause I'm smooth and I move loosely
With a spin or a kick like bruce lee
Come on get on the floor and take the chance
Everybody its time to dumb dance
Now what's a dumb dance you might ask
Well let me take you to my dumb dancin class
Its called dumb dance 101
It's where we teach smart people how to be dumb
Heres the background and heres what's up
Back in philly where we grew up
We used to party all the time
Just playing around and make a soul train line
This old train line the concept changed
To put it in joint got flipped and rearranged
The line turned into a contest yo
To see who could dance not the worst but the best though
So in philly the dance caught on fast
People starting challenging me to dance
So I got busy quick as the music was played up
How you gonna beat me at a dance I made up
Now you know that I can throw that
Body of mine fine so I'm about to show that
Guy who thinks he can do it a bit better
I'm the creator originator so go and get a seat to sit down
So I can demonstrate a dance that's easy to do
And you don't have to contemplate a move at all
Just take a bit of a chance
Its time to dumb dance
Everybody in the house just (clap your hands)
Come on just (clap your hands everybody)
just (clap your hands)
Come on just (clap your hands everybody)
Say (clap your hands)
Say (clap your hands)
Say (now we come to the real thing)
Well there it is y'all the dumb dance concept
But let me break it down for those of you who haven't got it yet
It's the new craze coming across america
And I really really really don't care if you do it with a partner
Or do it alone
If you do it at a club
Or you do it at home
If you really cant dance then heres ya chance
Go for yours on the dance floor everybody dumb dance
(What does it all mean) (I don't know)
(What does it all mean) (I don't know)
(What does it all mean) (I don't know)
(What does it all mean) (I don't know)
ha what?
(What does it all mean) (I don't know)
(What does it all mean) (I don't know)
(What does it all mean) (I don't know)

(everybody reach reach over the top everybody reach up don't stop don't stop everybody reach reach over the top don't stop)
Forever (forever)
Chasing forever
Early morning wake up
Gently with the caress on your hand
And that Kimono that I bought you on my trip to Japan
Sunshine peeking through the Venetian blinds
Four years and like wine you got finer with time
I got a question if the prada dressing and the Gucci
All got goes and the freeze on the Lucci
I mean real bad girl I'm talking rougher than rough
Do you think it'd be enough if we just had us
Don't answer quick think about it cause I'm asking for real
Gold diggers goin' to hear this song drivin and crash at the wheel
Forever is a long time so far we getting along fine (forever)
No car I ever drove no ice I ever saw
No music I ever made ain't nothing I wanted more
We could deal with whatever together
Sunshine or that other weather when we chasing forever
I wanna stay with you forever
I wanna spend all my life with only you
I wanna stay let's stay together
Chasing forever with only you
Chasing forever, a buckwil' endeavour it seems
Are we pursuing something real or just chasing a dream
I'm casing the scene (come on)
'fore I die I plan
To see us holding eternity in the palm of our hands
Now as a man, there's certain things I'm lacking for sure
But I'm committed to growing and coming at you mature
In the future I know it ain't gonna be all good
But when we feeling the hurt if we willing to work
The eight ball will never turn to see us behind
Though I ain't no knight and my armour don't shine
My mom said the lynch pin of love is trust
An taught me monogamy is a monoga-must
Plus for you dinner by candlelight
Now don't commit before you sure you understand me right
It's a race to a strange place most see never
It's a chase we gotta make together forever (forever)
I wanna stay with you forever
I wanna spend all my life with only you
I wanna stay let's stay together
Chasing forever with only you
Now you would think after all my heartbreaks I'd be cruel
Hiding behind my ego evil but no
Much the contrary I'm very much certain
You searching for joy it's on the other side of hurting
Finally found a person worthy of all
Instead of pushing me down you wanna cushion my fall
Your eyes could make the sun rise all the birds sing
Seal it with a kiss bind it with a ring
More carrots than even bugs could eat in a week
And the ribbon in the sky close your eyes don't peek
I'll tell you what I see in the future
A hacienda so cute with five little kids calling you mom and calling me dad
Having more good times than JJ had
Judging by the look in your eyes you see it
Let no man sever welcome to forever
I wanna stay with you forever
I wanna spend all my life with only you
I wanna stay let's stay together
Chasing forever with only you

Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Love and life a mysterious combo
Sit back relax cause now its time to go
Back in my past my personal strife for being
Caught in the middle of love and life
Love is a fairytale earthly bond
But life is true reality chimes
When life brings on love is kind of hard for you to give up
The satisfaction you started for
This is a metaphor sort of a riddle
If your confused chill and I'm sure it'll
Clear up for you in a little bit
Love and life and I'm caught in the middle of it
The middle
Caught
The middle
Who or why your love ain't always right
Especially when you cross the pass of life
The wrath of life is hard
Cause your taught to dream on
But when your out in the world realities on
You found somebody to be with
You pour your lovin in and it seems as if
Your pouring your love into a bottomless pit
You love each other but it just ain't workin
Your not meant to be together it seems like
Well just think maybe its things like
She work 9 to 5 you work 5 to 9
Never together two separate lives
Love versus life see what I mean
You like the movies she like the club scene
Nobody's wrong and nobody's right
Just caught in the middle of love and life
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Everybody wants to capture the rapture
Love and live happily ever after
Walking around barefoot sniffing daisies
Laying around all day long making babies
Go to france and dancin eatin in sweden
Gambling in rio
Winning cause your cheating
These are situations you can have some fun in
But open your eyes and real life comes running in
Dreaming again a plateau to come down off
Back to the world and see your love life sounds off
Start the day right call your girlfriend
But love and life start at it again
She says baby I need to send you
You say babe I got work to tend to
Love tells you to go be with her
But life says boy get your butt to work
Think of love and life as a rock and a hard place
Exhilarating like a high speed car chase
Heart ache heart break cuts like a knife
Caught in the middle of love and life
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
In the middle (in love)
Caught (in life)
(in love)
Caught (in life)
(in love)
caught
in the middle
caught
in the middle

James Brown- 'get down'
[Fresh Prince] It's new, it's out of the ordinary
It's rather extrordinary,
so yo bust this commentary
A literary, genius, and a superior beat creator
have come together, and we made a
musical composition which we think is a remedy
to cure all the dance floors that's empty
You wanna dance? We got what you want
Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince bustin out with the brand new funk
-Get down brand new funk-hit it
It was kind of an accident, the way that it happened
One day I was rappin, and on the beat, Jeff was backin me up
And all of a sudden, he brought in a cut And I dropped my microphone and said, 'What the...? Hold up, Jeff, wait a minute, play it'
He just smiled and said, 'Yeah def ain't it?'
It was {funky} it made wanna {get, get down!} And we knew almost at once it was the {brand new funk}
So we continued to listen to it
And we knew it was def when I started rappin to it
So I gave a hi-five to Jeff and without hesitation popped in my cassette
I took it home that night, and analyzed it
Rewound the tape over and over, and memorized it
That Friday, we went to the club And out and out cold tore it up!
You shoulda seen the people dancin and shakin and movin and jumpin and spinnin and clappin, while the beatboxin was groovin and screamin and yellin while on the microphone I was flowin
Fresh rhymes I was showin, the people say, 'Yo keep goin' So I continued to rock, while Jeff was on the beatbox Special assistance from my homeboy Ready Rock
People barged just to get up front to get a bird's eye view of what we call the brand new funk
Ge-Ge-Get down-hit it
Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat} Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat} Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat} * Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat} Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat} Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat with your hands..}
Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * Now get funky with the beat!
Jeff starts spinning backwards * Now turn it all around!
The most original, amazing, astounding, miraculous remarkable, startling, sensational, stupendous music
that has ever been created is ours - but believe me it was complicated
But we have done it, so now we can breathe a long awaited sigh of relief
This isn't a publicity stunt It's the raw untouched, pure, hard brand new funk!
{Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} * Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * {Rock the beat with your hands..} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} * Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * {Rock the beat with your hands..}
[tatyana]
Uh, uh, uh
Oh, oh yeah

From the moment that I saw you babe
All I think about is loving you
Every time that you are near

Call my name

Run away with you
Imagine all the things we’d do

Can’t hold it, I can’t fight it
Want you and I can’t deny it

Boy, you knock me out
Can’t hold it, I can’t fight it
Want you and I can’t deny it
It’s all about the things you do
Boy, you knock me out
[tatyana]
Can you feel the vibes I’m sending, baby?
All my energy and thoughts towards you
There’s now way I could let go
Of all these dreams and hopes
Anxieties so deep, feelings so new
Just maybe I can
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
[tatyana]
Falling for you, this love’s a tko
Falling for you, baby
Falling for you, this love’s a tko
Falling for you, baby
[will smith](tatyana)
Uh, uh, uh
Here it is a groove slightly transformed
Again, but with a tatyana ali spin

As fresh prince from back then
I had a synch she would win
Whatever clique she was in

Mad sexy, true but classy
She in the fast lane under my wing
Kissing the sky
Tatyana ali, girl you knock me out
(cause boy you knock me out)
Repeat 2 till end

Yo, yo forget the club

You just got to get the amps from Boogie
Get the van from Rock and then
Call up Ishcabibble's, Jim's and Pat's
And tell 'em we need cheese steaks for like, 300 cats
And yo, make sure it's hot or else I'm sendin' 'em back
And get my mic right
If I get hyped, I might rap
Then take the speakers find a good spot
Subs on the bottom, tweeters up top
Yo, you know where little John lives on the corner
The extension cord'll run perfectly to his crib
And then tell Officer Mike to barricade the block
Regardless what car you got, leave it up top
You wanna come, you got to come on your feet
Ain't nothin' like havin' a party
When it's out in the street, come on
Nine o'clock I'ma call my crew
And ten o'clock we gonna roll on through
I don't know what you gon do
But whatever you do, hit the block party tonight
All the ladies rollin' up with friends
And don't be late or you wont get in
Our party's packed from begining to end
Everybody tell a friend that the block party's tonight
It's ain't nothin' like
Havin' a party on the block
When everybody know everybody on the block
And everybody on the block
Come to the party on the block
And when the sun drop, (we don't stop)
Funny how fast they travel the word
A dozen divas from North Philly drove in when they heard
That it's a block party down in West Philly
Come block party with Jeff and Big Willy
Stand back, everybody come to see the man rap
Jeff got it... jam packed
Everybody, hands in the air
(Just get your hands in the air!)
Yo Philly! (dat's where the party's at!)
Uuh, D.C. y'all! (dat's where the party's at!)
A-T-L (dat's where the party's at!)
West side! (dat's where the party's at!)
Mid-west y'all (dat's where the party's at!)
Dirty South now (dat's where the party's at!)
Yo, I can't hear y'all! (dat's where the party's at!)
Where ever we at! (dat's where the party's at!)
Yo, yo and when the sun drop
Back in Philly that don't mean that the fun stop
All it mean is that it's time to turn the lights on
All day long I been plottin' on this nice john
It's ten o'clock now Jeff is tryin' to hype me
Will the Fresh Prince come up to the mic please?
Hear the crowd cheer, broguht a little smile out
Mic check, one, two- I'm 'bout to wild out
I know he's old, but
Mabye it's a slight chance
I could get my brother hype
Make him break dance- ha, maybe not
Lemme get the crowd jumpin'
Let me him 'em with the brand new funk or somethin'
I'm like Rob Base- I wanna rock right now
Y'all know who run the block right now
All we need is a mic and a beat
And a couple of speakers
[Mary J. Blige]
Whyyyyyy, whyyyyyy
Whyyyyyy, whyyyyyy
[Chorus: Will Smith - while Mary repeats in background]
I really wish I could explain it baby
It's just the world is kinda crazy baby
Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby
Don't cry, dry your eyes
[Verse One: Will Smith]
September 11th I woke up about 7 AM
West coast time, french toast and my turkey bacon
Takin my time awakin, turnin my TV on
To my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw
Me and my children, images were chillin
My son said - daddy were there people in that building?
A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest
I heard his question, couldn't bring my lips to say yes to him
That night at my son's side, he cried
And prayed for the ones who died in the World Trade
His palms to God, seeds of qualms with God
He just, kept on pressin me, wanna know why
Then one week later our bombs were dropped
We seein them, on CNN, they just won't stop
The infrared, images of brutal attack
He said 'Daddy now we killin 'em back,' right right
[Chorus] - repeat 2X + (Mary J. Blige ad lib crooning)
[Interlude: Mary J. Blige]
Souls are captured (souls are captured)
Dreams are stolen (dreams are stolen)
Hearts are broken (hearts are broken)
Evil plaguin he rewardin
Hate surrender (hate surrender)
Love exaulted! (Love exaulted!)
HOPE ELATED! (HOPE ELATED!)
Negativity DESTROYED AND..
[Verse Two: Will Smith]
Honest to God, why is the bomb always gettin the last word
and why, did her uncles have to molest her
and why, did all them cops have to be shootin to kill?
And why, did all them priests have to act so ill?
Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched?
Tell my why did Malcolm and Martin depart from us
Tell me why did the sniper make that little boy shoot
And why, is human life always denied for loot?
Tell me WHY did MANDELA have to live in a cage
Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age
Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate
And why the {*BLEEP*} can't love, seem to defeat hate?
Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat?
Why did 'Pac and Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street?
Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way?
Please, what am I supposed to say my kids when they say
[Chorus] - repeat 2X as before
[Verse Three: Will Smith]
Can't explain it baby life is just really crazy
I mean if it's world wars or the life of a little baby
We got more stores than they got rice under buddha lazy
You live four scores and still it be drivin you crazy
But for me I try to see the button side
Sometimes it be like the goodness be tryin to hide
or tryin to flee, but it can't, it's deep inside
Sweetie you be the light for others, make 'em believe in God
[Interlude]
Intro/Chorus: *sung*
summer, summer, summertime
time to sit back and unwind
Verse One: Fresh Prince
Here it is the groove slightly transformed
just a bit of a break from the norm
just a little somethin' to break the monotony
of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
a little bit out of control it's cool to dance
but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
give me a soft subtle mix
and if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
and think of the summers of the past
adjust the base and let the alpine blast
pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime
Chorus
Verse Two: Fresh Prince
school is out and it's a sort of a buzz
a back then I didn't really know what it was
but now I see what have of this
the way that people respond to summer madness
the weather is hot and girls are dressing less
and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
riding around in your jeep or your benzos
or in your Nissan sitting on lorenzos
back in Philly we be out in the park
a place called the plateau is where everybody goes
guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
she turn around to see what you beeping at
it's like the summers a natural afradesiac
and with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
to hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
Chorus
Verse Three: Fresh Prince
it's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
hustle to the mall to get me a short set
yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
the temperature's about 88
hop in the water plug just for old times sake
break to ya crib change your clothes once more
cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4
sitting with your friends cause y'all remincise
about the days growing up and the first person you kiss
and as I think back makes me wonder how
the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
all the kids playing out front
little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
while the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion
then six o'clock rolls around
you just finished wiping your car down
it's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
it looks like a car show
everybody come lookin real fine
fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
every moment frontin and maxin
chillin in the car they spent all day waxin
leanin to the side but you can't spead through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
there's an air of love and of happiness
and this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness
Chorus
