Yo, back up now an' give a brother room
The fuse is lit an' I'm about to go boom
Mercy, mercy, mercy me
My life is a cage but on stage I'm free
Hyped up, psyched up, ready for wil'in'
Standin' in a crowd of girls like an island
I see the one I wanna sit, come here, cutie
I flip 'em around an' then I work that booty
Work the body, work, work the body
Slow down, girl, you're 'bout to hurt somebody
Oh an' yo, let's get just one thing clear
There's only one reason why I came here
Ya really don't want me to tig a tig a tig a
Tell ya wassup, go
Ya really don't want me to tig a tig a tig a
Tell ya wassup, go
Ya really don't want me to tig a tig a tig a
Tell ya wassup, go
I came here tonight to hear the crowd go
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom
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
Yo, dance in the aisles when the Prince steps to it
The rhyme is a football, y'all an' I went an' threw it
Out in the crowd an' yo, it was a good throw
How do I know? Because the crowd went, “Hoo”
In response to the way that I was kickin' it
Smooth an' individual, rhymes always original
Like the Dr. Jekyll man an' this is my Hyde side
I am the driver an' you're on a rap ride
So fellas? Yeah? Are y'all wit me? Yeah
I said fellas? Yeah? Are y'all wit me? Yeah
Why don't you tell the girls what y'all wanna do
Ya wanna ooh ahh ahh ahh ahh ooh
That's right, yo an' 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
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom
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, 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, come on now
Pump it up, pump it up, come on now
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom
The the F-f-fresh P-p-prince is who I am
So tell my mother that I never make a whack jam
But some times I get n-n-nervous an' start to stutter
An' I f-f-fumble every word for word I utter
So I just try to ch-ch-chill
But it gets worse a but worse a but, but, but worse still
I need the c-c-crowd to k-k-kick into it
They help me calm down an' I can get through it
So higher, higher, get ya hands to the ceilin'
Let it go, y'all, don't fight the feelin'
Mic in a strangle hold, sweat pourin'
An' like Jordan, yo' I'm scorin'
Yeah, that's right, y'all an' I am in the flow
So pump up the volume along with the tempo
Many have died tryin' to stop my show
I came here tonight to here the crowd go
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom

sung
summer, summer, summertime
time to sit back and unwind
One: Fresh Prince
Here it is the groove slightly transformed
just a bit of a break from the norm
just a little somethin' to break the monotony
of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
a little bit out of control it's cool to dance
but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
give me a soft subtle mix
and if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
and think of the summers of the past
adjust the base and let the alpine blast
pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime

Two: Fresh Prince
school is out and it's a sort of a buzz
but back then I didn't really know what it was
but now I see what have of this
the way that people respond to summer madness
the weather is hot and girls are dressing less
and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
ridin around in your jeep or your benzos
or in your nissan sitting on lorenzos
back in Philly we be out in the park
a place called the plateau is where everybody go
guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
she turn around to see what you beeping at
it's like the summers a natural aphrodisiac
and with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
to hit you and get you equipped for the summer time

Three: Fresh Prince
it's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
hustle to the mall to get me a short set
yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
the temperature's about 88
hop in the water plug just for old times sake
break to ya crib change your clothes once more
cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4
sitting with your friends cause y'all reminisce
about the days growing up and the first person you kissed
and as I think back makes me wonder how
the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
all the kids playing out front
little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
while the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion
then six o'clock rolls around
you just finished wiping your car down
it's time to cruise so you go to the summertime hangout
it looks like a car show
everybody come lookin real fine
fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
every moment frontin' and maxin'
chillin' in the car they spent all day waxin
leanin to the side but you can't speed through
two miles an hour so everybody sees you
there's an air of love and of happiness
and this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness
