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
|
