Now I'm the Fresh Prince, and if you got good sense   You'll keep your distance, because my sole intent   Is to rock and shock the spot and give my all, which is a lot   And no, I'm not about to stop because I'm taking it to the top   A whole lot of people rap, but what good is that   If the rap that they're rapping is way off track?   I don't mean to attack you, but I'm cutting no slack   To those people that I hear saying meaningless raps   In actuality, I mean in reality   The words that you use are a mere formality   Vocabulary is not what it's about   The point that you're trying to get across is what counts   Cause when a lot of rappers rap, they try to use big words   But that's the most absurd thing I've ever heard of   They think that that's impressive, but when will they learn their lesson   That it's not the words that count, it's the message   They get a lot of big words out of some magazine   And nine times out of ten they don't even know what they mean   They stand up on the stage, huffing and puffin   Rappin for nearly an hour, but they're not sayin nothin   Really but a lot of jibberish   And I know that they all wish   They had access to fresh rhymes like this   I came to rock and shock and give my all, which is a lot   And no, I'm not about to stop because I'm takin it to the top   Fresh rhymes and a razzamatazz   Smooth power and grace and mucho pizzazz   Good looks and charm and personality   You punch it in your calculator, and it adds up to me   I know the same goes for the rest of my crew   My D.J Jazzy Jeff and Ready Rock C too   The ultimate combination of strength and prestige   My crew holds the key to fun and everything you need   To party all night, yes, it's you we will excite   The time is right, so don't fight it Suckers, please don't bite it   We came to rock and shock and give our all, which is a lot   And no, we're not about to stop because we're takin it to the top   I really hate to brag about him   But when people doubt him I have to stand up and tell the whole world all about him   'United we stand, divided we fall'   Is the moto of our crew and it is honored by all of us,   We pledge allegiance to the work we rehearse   And it enables us always to come out first   We came to rock and shock and give our all, which is a lot   Yo, Jeff, man, why don't you take it to the top?   We succeed every time we attempt   To rock the house, you've got to dance cause no one is exempt   From the rules set forth by us, of course you know   Stay out our way or behold the brute force of Me Jeff and Ready Rock C,   We're a trio, oh, you didn't know?   That means That there's three of us, one for all and all for one   And we're taking it to the top before we get done   I'm inclined to rhyme, anytime you'll find   It ain't a rapper with a mind as impressive as mine I insist on a rise and I despise a decline   On the day I descend, that's the day I resign I'm creating my trends and innovatin my rap   Why is that? I don't know, I guess I got it like that!   My personality extends beyond the realm of mediocre   My advice for life is, if you want somethin, go for it   Cause there's nothin that's beyond your grasp   Just set your mind to it, work hard, and you can have   Anything that you want, the sky is the limit   Stop lunchin around, get up and go get it   Cause I came a long way from the past till today   Now I'm never slowin down, ah-ah, no way!   I came to rock and shock and give my all, which is a lot   And no, I'm not about to stop because I'm taking it to the top
