listen homeboys don't mean to bust your bubble
but girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble
so next time a girl gives you the play
just remember my rhyme and get the hell away

Just last week when I was walking down the street
I observed this lovely lady that I wanted to meet
I walked up to her I said hello
she said you're kind of cute I said yes I know
but by the way sweetheart what's your name
she said my friends like to call me exotic Elaine
I said my name is the Prince and she said why
I said well I don't know I'm just a hell of a guy
but enough about me yo let's talk about you
and all the wonderful things that you and I can do
I popped some cash and in a little bit of time
I showed some cash and the girl was mine
I took her over town I wined her and dined her
she ask me did I like her I said well kinda
all of a sudden she jumped out her seat
snatched me up by my wrist and took me out to the street
she started grabbin all over me kissing and hugging
so I shoved her away I said you better stop buggin
she got mad looked me dead in my face
threw her hands in the air and yelled out rape
I got scared when she started to yell
so I handed her my wallet and ran like hell
I was duckin through alleys right and left
but when the cops caught up they almost beat me to death
I was arrested charged with agrivated assault
(yo Clancy we got him)
but it wasn't my fault
nevertheless don't mean to bust your bubble
but girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble
so next time a girl gives you the play
just remember my rhyme and get the hell away

I was in a bar one Friday night
cooling watching a Mike Tyson fight
I was maxin and relaxin sippin on Tequilla
when this girl walked up she said hi my name is Sheila
I responded by saying hello
she paid for my drink and then said let's go
20 minutes later things were starting to cook
as we pulled up into her house I said I'm with you toots
the music was soft and there was wine in the glasses
she started winking and making little passes
at me she pat me close that's when she got bold
she started feeling up my back I said oh your hands are cold
we went to her bedroom thinking of one thing
took the phone off the hook to avoid the annoying ring
I carresed her body and I kissed her cheek
and that's when I observed those satin bed sheets
I felt that it was time for me to make my move
I thought I better hurry up before I busted a groove
I leaned down to kiss her but then out of the blue
a door slammed and a voice said baby where are you
her boyfriend busted in he grinned an evil grin
and said boy I'm a tear your butt limb from limb
I was scared as hell where I was supposed to go
I just yelled geronimo and jumped out the window
just my luck we were in a snow storm
and all I had was my underwear on to keep my warm
and to top the night off I had to break in my place
because my keys were on pants back on Sheila's book case
I was done sneezing and coughing
I hope this doesn't happen to often
but nevertheless don't mean to bust your bubble
but girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble
so next time a girl gives you the play
just remember my rhymes and get the hell away

Jazzy: yo man you think they see your point
Prince: I don't know I don't think they really do
Jazzy: I think you should give 'em another example
Prince: awright give me a scratch let's make it funky right here

I got a ring on my phone May 5th last year
it was my girlfriend Betty I said hello dear
I was just about to call you I got a couple tickets to the Run DMC concert
(I'm wit it)
It's six o'clock now at eight will you be ready
(yeah)
aight fine see you then Betty
I combed my hair washed and brushed my teeth
got funky fresh dressed in my la coq sportif
got to Betty's at eight I was ready to jet
until Betty's mon said Betty's not ready yet
I sat there for at least an hour
it was ten after nine before she got in the shower
9:35 she comes downstairs
and said I need a little longer to finish my hair
at ten o'clock we had then missed the show
she comes downstairs and says let's go
go where go to sleep I'm gone
I was steamin like a demon as I drove home
but it just goes to show
not trying to bust your bubble
but girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble
so next time a girl gives you the play
just remember my rhyme just remember my rhymes
take heed to my rhymes and get the hell away

Jazzy:
man first your parents just don't understand
then you having these crazy nightmares
Prince:
I know why me man why me
Jazzy: what's next
Prince: now these girls man you know how it is
can't live wit 'em can't live wit'out 'em

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 believe 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

[ Fresh Prince (& Ready Rock C) ]
Ladies and gentlemen
Fly girls and fly guys
My name is the Fresh Prince
And I've come here to introduce someone to you
His name is the Human Linn Drum Ready Rock C
And we came to tell everyone that...
( *Ready Rock C starts beatboxing* )
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
[ Fresh Prince & Ready Rock C ]
That's right, we are the best
[ Fresh Prince (& Ready Rock C) ]
Everywhere we (go), everytime 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 a lotta def rhymes (and beats like this)

( *Ready Rock C breaks into a new beat* )

[ Fresh Prince ]
Somebody yell 'hooo-o'
[ crowd ]
Hooo-o
[ Fresh Prince ]
Say 'ho, ho'
[ crowd ]
Ho, ho

[ Fresh Prince ]
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 dj and scratch

( *Ready Rock C imitates scratching* )
[ crowd ]
Go Ready Rock, go Ready Rock...

[ Fresh Prince (& Ready Rock C) ]
Alright 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 some(body)
Drink some Ba(cardi) and dance (with everybody)
The feeling's good, some people think it's great
Get on the dancefloor and let your body girate
In cadence with the beat, just move your feet
While the Prince is on the rhyme (Ready C is on the beat)

[ Fresh Prince (& Ready Rock C) ]
My.. beatbox rocks everywhere we go
Gettin utterly respected at every show
No other can (beat me), no girl can out-(freak me)
(Man, I'm gettin 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 comin 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 Rock C intonates theme from 'Stanford and Son'* )

Now play it under water

( *same routine sounding like it's done under water* )

How 'bout a fresh beat
A fresh beat
Ready C, how 'bout a fresh beat
A fresh beat
Bust it

( *Ready Rock C switches to another beat* )

Well, his name is Ready C, and I'm tellin you
He can play a beat forwards and backwards too

( *Ready Rock C makes the beat sounding like it's being spun backwards on a turntable* )

Play it backwards

[ crowd ]
Go Ready Rock, go Ready Rock...

Bust it

Backwards

[ Fresh Prince singing (& Ready Rock C) ]
Do you know where you're goin to
And do you like the things that Ready C is showin you?
(Showin 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?

( *crowd cheers* )

[ INTRO: The Fresh Prince ]
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 takin it to the top

[ VERSE 1: The Fresh Prince ]
A whole lot of people rap, but what good is that
If the rap that they're rappin is way off track?
I don't mean to attack you, but I'm cuttin 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 tryin 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, huffin 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

[ VERSE 2: The Fresh Prince ]
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 deejay Jazzy Jeff and Ready Rock C too
The ultimate combination of strenght 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

[ VERSE 3: The Fresh Prince ]
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's 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?

[ VERSE 4: The Fresh Prince ]
We succeed everytime 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 takin 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 creatin 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 takin it to the top

Some deejays are (good) some deejays are (fresh)
Some deejays are even (def)
But here's a little somethin 'bout my deejay
(The magnificient) Jazzy Jeff
So bust this beat

(Disc) (jock)

Yo Jazzy

[ VERSE 1: The Fresh Prince ]
Well, it's true that I'm the reigning king of the throne
But with all my strength, I couldn't do it alone
I need a deejay like (Jazzy) to back me up
So when I'm rockin on the mic he's on the crossfade cut
Scratchin and mixin, mixin and scratchin
Second after second it's the record he's catchin
His hands are so fast that it's a medical riddle
With the turntable split and the mixer in the middle
Back and forth his hands fly
With the speed of a cheetah that'll 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 resent it if you say that his cuts are precedented
He's a lean, mea,n wreckin 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 deejay (the magnificient) Jazzy Jeff

[ VERSE 2: The Fresh Prince ]
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 deejay is the most from coast to coast
(The magnificient) Jazzy Jeff, wack destroyer
Cuttin up records like a samurai warrior
If you deejays don't know who I'm talkin to
(I'm talkin to you) so (come on)
Cause in a battle you cannot win
Cause my deejay will (tear yo butt limb from limb!)
He's like a runaway tank, a hip-hop rebel
And if you wanna battle, you best bring a shovel
My man, so you can dig your grave
Cause there's no way that you could ever be saved
Because (the deejay cuts the record) to create the sound
(The deejay cuts the record) he's the best around
(The deejay cuts the record) you know he's down
His name is Jazzy Jeff a/k/a Jeff Townes
Commandin the cut he's always on track
He's DJ Jazzy Jeff and he's a cut maniac
So for your personal safety you should be told
That my DJ Jazzy Jeff is (out of control)

(Oh my God)
(Out of control)
(My goodness)

Alright Jazzy
We gon' do somethin a little 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)
(His name is Jeff)

Yo Jazzy, I want you to tell all these people
How many of those deejays out there can get with you

(None)
(None of them)

How many?

(None of them)

Tell the truth

(None)
(None of them)
(None of them)

Now make the record burp

( *Jazzy Jeff produces burping sounds with the record* )

Say excuse me

( *Jazzy Jeff makes the scratch sound like an 'excuse me'* )

Now make it sound like a bird

( *Jazzy Jeff makes the record sound like a bird singing* )

Now make it chirp

( *the sound changes from singing to chirping *)

[ VERSE 3: The Fresh Prince ]
Now here's a story that should not be forgot
About the day my deejay turned into an autobot
He got struck by lightning in an electrical storm
He got on the wheels of steel and began to transform

( *Jazzy Jeff transforms* )

His name is Jeff, and he's as swift as a swiff
The type of guy that other deejays don't 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 know that that's right, if you
Were a stick of dynamite, his cuts would ignite you
The deejay on the weels can't be matched
So (check out Jazzy Jeff with a cold cut scratch)

(Good)
(Jazzy)

(The magnificient)
(Jazzy Jeff)

( *JJ brings James Brown's 'Funky Drummer' into the mix)

(Ain't it funky)

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)

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
Those brothers is dead
I don't even like what they said
What are they talking about man
Tell em again

Listen homegirls let me talk to you
Girls may be trouble but girls are trouble too
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
Your arrogant conceited your stuck on yourself
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
Wait a minute let me talk to you
I think I should inform you who you're talking too
No let me tell you so you remember me
As the one that bust your bubble I'm ice cream tee
I'm Jazzy Jeff and I'm the Fresh prince
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

[instrumental]

[ Fresh Prince ]
Yo Jeff, what's shakin, man?
[ Jazzy Jeff ]

[ Fresh Prince ]
Hey man, you remember that girl I knew

The one who used to diss me every day?
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Yeah
[ Fresh Prince ]
When the record came out she called me two days ago, man
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Man, my phone is ringin off the hook
With people askin me for tapes and free records
I - man, I ain't with it
[ Fresh Prince ]
Word man
Bust this

[ Fresh Prince ]
This rap is for you people in the past who were against me
Who snatched up every opportunity to dis me
Put me down like I was nothin, treated me like a jerk
Now I'm seein the pay-off of all my hard work
Cause now that it's MY records on the wheels
Somehow all of a sudden it's a whole new deal
So for those in the past who dissed me, don't deny it
What, you're sorry? Huh - don't even try it!

[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Word man
[ Fresh Prince ]
Man, people are a trip, man
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Put everybody down about what's up with that
[ Fresh Prince ]
Yo word, man
I gotta let em know
I gotta
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Bust this

[ Fresh Prince ]
I used to know this girl by the name of Theresa
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 every day of the week
Watchin Theresa walk on the other side of the street
One day I finally got my heart up to speak
But she dissed me and dismissed me with a smack on my cheek
So I bought six bottles of new fancy cologne
But all I got from Theresa was (Leave me alone!)
I bought new clothes to wear everyplace
But all Theresa would say was (Get out of my face!)
So I gave up this quest for Theresa
But then on the day my record was released, a
Strange thing happened when it came on the radio
Theresa 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 apologize)
I looked deep into her dark brown eyes
I said, "You ignored me for months on and
Now all of a sudden you wanna be my friend?
You didn't talk before, so don't talk now, be quiet
What, you really like me? Huh - don't even try it!"

[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Man - she had a lotta nerve, man
[ Fresh Prince ]
Word man
Hey man, but she ain't had half as much nerve as that old record producer, man
Remember when he dissed us, man?
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
What - what up?

[ Fresh Prince ]
When I first started rappin 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 would 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, cause my song was really absurd
He said that it was the worst trash that he'd ever heard
You know my ego was shattered, he busted my groove
I could hear him crackin up as I left the booth (Ha-haaa!)
I thought my song was good but he busted my bubble
The title was 'Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble'
Luckily I found someone who had faith
He lifted my ego back up into place
His name was Dana Goodman and he thought my song was on track
So two weeks later it was out on wax
It busted up the charts like a hydrogene bomb
Up, up, up, up it clim-clim-climbed
I made people eat the words that said I couldn't achieve
Now they had no choice but to believe
In me, then no sooner than my record came out
That same old producer started callin my house
One night he called me 'bout at half past 12
He said, "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
But you just laughed like I was some kind of kid
Now don't you regret what you did?
I wish you'd get off my tip, yes, that's my request
You see, he who laughs last, always laughs best
Okay, I'll be reasonable - You wanna buy it?
Okay, I'll sell it - psych - don't even try it!"

[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Ha-ha
That's how you gotta put it to him
[ Fresh Prince ]
Word man, that's how you gotta..
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
You know what?
Let me tell you something
I got dissed so hard, man
Bust this
I'ma tell YOU what's up

[ Jazzy Jeff (& Fresh Prince) ]
Yo Prince - do 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)
Why chill out, man, cause I got a story to tell
About five years ago I began my quest
To be the best deejay in the whole U.S.
There was a lot of deejays strivin for my spot
They would put me down every chance they got
Never cut me a break on any given night
They used to all look at me and say (Pfsss.. Jeff's aight)
(But when your 'Magnficient Cuts' were released
All of that laughter ceased)
Word
(When you and I used to do our shows
All the crowd would say was 'HO, HO, HO')
Yeah, time after time we were tearin it up
While you rocked the mic and I rocked the cut
But now that I'm makin a name for myself
All those deejays are like (Yo Jeff, what's up?)
But all that stuff is dead, no, I ain't with it
They approach 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 em where they can go
I can't believe that they had the nerve
To hop on my tip now! (Yeah man, word)
Just the other day homebody approached me on the street
And said (Yo Jeff, how 'bout a record for free?)
I said, Man, the way you dissed me, you better go buy it!
(But Jeff - we're friends) For real? Don't even try it!

[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Hey man, I'm tellin you

You know how it is, man

People are a trip, man
