[Verse 1: Fresh Prince]
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'
Standing 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
[Bridge: Fresh Prince]
Ya really want me to tig-a-tig-a-tig-a tell ya wassup (Go!)
Ya really want me to tig-a-tig-a-tig-a tell ya wassup (Go!)
Ya really want me to tig-a-tig-a-tig-a tell ya wassup (Go!)
I came here tonight to hear the crowd go
[Chorus: Crowd & Fresh Prince]
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room) Uh
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom)
[Bridge: Fresh Prince]
Well, yo, are y'all ready for me yet?
(Pump it up, Prince)
Well, yo, are y'all ready for me yet?
(Pump it up, Prince)
Well, yo, are y'all ready for me yet?
(Pump it up, Prince)
Well, here I go, here I go, here I, here I go
[Verse 2: Fresh Prince]
Yo, dance in the aisles when the Prince steps to it
The rhyme is a football, y'all, 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 kicking it
Smooth, an individual, rhymes always original
Like the Dr. Jekyll man and this is my 'Hyde' side
I am the driver, and you're on a rap ride
So, fellas (Yeah)
Are y'all with me? (Yeah)
I said fellas (Yeah)
Are y'all with me? (Yeah)
Why don't you tell the girls what y'all wanna do
You wanna (Ooh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ooh)
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: Crowd & Fresh Prince]
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom)
Yeah
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom) Break it on down, uh
[Interlude: Woman & Fresh Prince]
Pump it up, pump it up, come on now
Pump it up, pump it up, come on now
Pump it up, pump it up, come on now
Pump it up, pump it up
Yeah, come on
Pump it up, pump it up (Ah, say what?)
Pump it up, pump it up (Ah, say what? Ah, come on)
Pump it up, pump it up, come on now (Ah, say what? Ah, say what?)
Pump it up, pump it up, come on now
Yeah, come on now
[Chorus: Crowd & Fresh Prince]
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom)
Here I go
[Verse 3: Fresh Prince]
The F-F-F-Fresh P-P-P-Prince is who-who I am
So tell my mother that I never make a wack jam
But, sometimes, I get n-n-nervous and start to stutter
And I f-fumble every w-w-word I utter
So I just try to ch-ch-ch-chi-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-kick into it
They help me calm down, and I can get through it
So, higher, higher, get your hands to the ceiling
Let it go, y'all, don't fight the feeling
Mic in a strangle hold, sweat pouring
And like Jordan, yo, I'm scoring
Yeah, that's right, y'all, and I am in the flow
So pump up the volume, along with the tempo
Many have died trying to stop my show
I came here tonight to hear the crowd go
[Chorus: Crowd & Fresh Prince]
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom)
Yeah
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room) Uh
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room) Take it to 1 a.m
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom) Uh, uh
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom) Uh, uh
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
(Boom! Shake, shake, shake the room)
