Brand New Funk |
It’s new, it’s out of the ordinary |
It’s rather extrordinary, |
so yo bust this commentary |
A literary, genius, and a superior beat creator |
have come together, and we made a |
musical composition which we think is a remedy |
to cure all the dance floors that’s empty |
You wanna dance? |
We got what you want |
Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince bustin out with the brand new funk |
-Get down brand new funk-hit it |
It was kind of an accident, the way that it happened |
One day I was rappin, and on the beat, Jeff was backin me up |
And all of a sudden, he brought in a cut And I dropped my microphone and said, «What the??? |
Hold up, Jeff, wait a minute, play it» |
He just smiled and said, «Yeah def ain’t it?» |
It was it made wanna And we knew almost at once it was the |
So we continued to listen to it |
And we knew it was def when I started rappin to it |
So I gave a hi-five to Jeff and without hesitation popped in my cassette |
I took it home that night, and analyzed it |
Rewound the tape over and over, and memorized it |
That Friday, we went to the club And out and out cold tore it up! |
You shoulda seen the people dancin and shakin and movin and jumpin and spinnin |
and clappin, while the beatboxin was groovin and screamin and yellin while on |
the microphone I was flowin |
Fresh rhymes I was showin, the people say, «Yo keep goin"So I continued to rock, |
while Jeff was on the beatbox Special assistance from my homeboy Ready Rock |
People barged just to get up front to get a bird’s eye view of what we call the |
brand new funk |
Ge-Ge-Get down-hit it |
Yo Jeff! |
Yo Jeff! |
Yo Jeff! |
* Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * Yo Jeff! |
Yo Jeff! |
Yo Jeff! |
Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * Now get funky with the beat! |
Jeff starts spinning backwards * Now turn it all around! |
The most original, amazing, astounding, miraculous remarkable, startling, |
sensational, stupendous music |
that has ever been created is ours — but believe me it was complicated |
But we have done it, so now we can breathe a long awaited sigh of relief |
This isn’t a publicity stunt It’s the raw untouched, pure, hard brand new funk! |
* Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * * Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * |
