[Fresh Prince]
|
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 kickdrum 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, 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 flowin, 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 + 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
|
? 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
|
|
