Taking It To The Top

歌詞

( INTRO: The Fresh Prince ) 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 takin it to the top ( VERSE 1: The Fresh Prince ) A whole lot of people rap, but what good is that If the rap that they're rappin is way off track? I don't mean to attack you, but I'm cuttin 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 tryin 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, huffin 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 ( VERSE 2: The Fresh Prince ) 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 deejay Jazzy Jeff and Ready Rock C too The ultimate combination of strenght 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 ( VERSE 3: The Fresh Prince ) 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's 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? ( VERSE 4: The Fresh Prince ) We succeed everytime 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 takin 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 creatin 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 takin it to the top
