Taking It to the Top

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

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

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

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?

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
