Pump Up The Bass
[Fresh Prince] In the place to be DJ Jazzy Jeff and yours truly the Fresh
Prince Ay Jeff do me a favor give em just a lil' TOUCH of the bass Not a
lot just a lil' touch Jeff
Word word Ay Jeff do me a favor man Jazz
it up
Now bring it all back
Yo man now break it down and let me
go for mine
When I first started out Jeff used to come to my
house Just as soon as school let out, he used to come to my crib, and you
know what we did? We bugged out like two little kids, word Jeff on the
wheels, and me on the M.I.C. A better combination there could never be So
let's go back, for old time's sake Yo Jeff! (WHAT?) Pump up the
bass!
I . like . my . music . loud! The volume, pumpin, the kickdrum
thumpin The people jumpin, up out there seats when this record comes on,
you think something's wrong The bass is too strong You don't have to
check your record, it's not defective It's just the way we wanted it, pump
it, get it? We like it loud, strong like a magnum force I am the
lyricist, Jeff is the rhythm source This combination, is virtually
omnipotent That means invincible, you know, dominant So don't you cross
our path, just stay out our face Or we'll knock you down, pump up the
bass!
Yo Jeff man, how bout a funky scratch
Now get funky with
it
Now bring in the snare
Now break it down and bring it all back
to me
Now pump up the bass!
I'm hyped -- psyched up and I'm
flowin, so come on let's go in to the next segment, of this hip-hop
fantasy You say this can't be happening, why can't it be? It's an
equation, mathematically correct It's Jeff + Prince, equals, hit
records Sounds too easy? Word, I know it does You wanna know why? Well yo
it's cause me and Jeff, oh, Jeff and I, excuse me blend like Kool-Aid,
and flow like an uzi That's why we can't be taken or broken or braken,
whatever And if you think we can, you're mistaken, we're clever cause all
we did to make this record a hit was turn down the treble, pump up the bass
kit at the same time the volume was increased adding more strength, to
this masterpiece of poetry, by now you know it's me Poet, creativity,
pushin, to out destiny I am on the M-I-C, Jeffery is the Disc Jockey ?
keep us company, the human beat box Ready C Backed up by a family, and that
is all we need so that we can be successful as we want to be The future
is in front of me so here is a taste of the future of hip-hop Jeff, pump up
the bass!
Yo Jeff one more scratch man
Ready Rock C man, give
Jeff a hand |
