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 | |
[ VERSE 1: The Fresh Prince ] | |
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 | |
And 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 | |
[ VERSE 2: The Fresh Prince ] | |
Say ?J-e-f? 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 a 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 e.q.-ed it | |
We put it on a tape and took it to [Name] | |
And then we - yo Jeff, where's my beat at? | |
Oh, there it is, back to the story line | |
The music and rhyme are 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 | |
( *only the beat is heard* ) | |
[ BREAK: The Fresh Prince acting as 'The Reverend' ] | |
Now Brother Jazzy | |
Please enlighten us with a bassline | |
( *Jazzy Jeff lets the bassline play* ) | |
And for all the people assembled before us | |
Brother Jazzy, scratch | |
( *Jazzy Jeff cuts* ) | |
[ The Fresh Prince ] | |
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!) | |
[ VERSE 3: The Fresh Prince ] | |
Ahhhh... 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 Rev, 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 | |
[ OUTRO: The Fresh Prince acting as 'The Reverend' ] | |
Now now | |
Ladies and gentlemen of the congregation | |
We realize you are not 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 everything you got | |
And get involved with it | |
