[Fresh Prince: talking]

Yeah, and here we go

[people talking in background]

Break down

'Til the beat go

'Til the beat go

Break down

'Til the beat go



[Fresh Prince]

Here I go, yo back up now and give a brother room

The fuse is lit and I'm about to go boom

Mercy, mercy, mercy me

Uh, my life is a cage but on stage I'm free

Hyped up, psyched up, ready for wilin'

Standin in a crowd of girls like a island

I see the one I want, I said "come here cutie"

I flip her around and then I work that booty

Work the body, work, work the body

Slow down girl you're 'bout to hurt somebody

Hold up, yo let's get just one thing clear

There's only one reason why I came here



[Break: Fresh Prince] [Crowd]

Ya really done want me to tigga, tigga, tigga tell ya what's up (GO)

Ya really done want me to tigga, tigga, tigga tell ya what's up (GO)

Ya really done want me to tigga, tigga, tigga tell ya what's up (GO)

I came here tonight to hear the crowd go



[Chorus: Crowd]

(Boom! shake, shake, shake the room)

(Boom! shake, shake, shake the room)

(Boom! shake, shake, shake the room)

(Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom)



[Break: Fresh Prince] [Crowd]

Well yo are ya'll ready for me yet?

(Pump it up Prince)

Well yo are ya'll ready for me yet?

(Pump it up Prince)

Well yo are ya'll ready for me yet?

(Pump it up Prince)

Well here I go, here I go here I, here I go



[Fresh Prince]

Yo, dance in the aisles when the Prince steps to it

The rhyme is a football ya'll and I went and threw it

Out in the crowd and yo it was a good throw

How do I know?, because the crowd went (HO)

In response to the way that I was kickin it

Smooth, an individual, rhymes always original

Like the Dr. Jekyl man and this is my 'Hyde' side

I am the driver and you're on a rap ride



[Break: Fresh Prince] [Crowd]

So fellas (yeah)

Are ya'll with me? (yeah)

I said fellas (yeah)

Are ya'll with me? (yeah)

Why don't you tell the girls what ya'll wanna do

Ya wanna (oh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ew)

That's right yo and I'm in the flow

So pump up the volume along with the tempo

I want everybody in the house to know

I came here tonight to hear the crowd go



[Chorus x2: w/ ad libs]



[Fresh Prince: talking during chorus and into break]

Yeah

Break it on DOWN, uh

Yeah, give 'em it

Uh, bring it back to 'em

Yeah, c'mon now



[Break: DJ Jazzy Jeff scratching w/ ad libs]

"Mix" [repeated]



[solo scratching]



[Chorus]



[Fresh Prince]

Here I go

The F-f-f-f-Fresh P-p-p-p-Prince is who I am

So tell my mother that I never make a whack jam

But sometimes I get n-nervous and start to stutter

And I f-fumble every word, for word I utter

So I just try to ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chill

But it gets worse-a but worse-a but-but-but worse still

I need the c-c-c-crowd to k-k-k-kick into it

They help me calm down and I can get through it

So higher higher, get ya hands to the ceilin

Let it go ya'll don't fight the feelin

Mic in a strangle hold, sweat pourin

And like Jordan yo I'm scorin

Yeah that's right ya'll and I am in the flow

So pump up the volume, along with the tempo

Many have died tryin to stop my show

I came here tonight to here the crowd go



[Chorus x4: w/ ad libs]



[Fresh Prince: talking over chorus]

Yeah, uh

Kick it to 'em right here

Don't stop ..

All night long

And I'm outta here



[Outro]

"Break down" [repeated until fade]
