Boom! Shake the Room

Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince





yo back up now and give a brother room

the fuse is lit and I'm about to go boom

mercy mercy mercy me

my life is a cage but on stage I'm free

hyped up syched up ready for wil'in'

standing in a crowd of girls like an island

I see the one I wanna sic come here cutie

I flip 'em around and then I work that booty

work the body work work the body

slow down girl you're 'bout to hurt somebody

oh and yo let's get just one thing clear

there's only one reason why I came here

dance in the aisles when the prince steps to it

the rhyme is a football yall and I went and threw it

out in the crowd and yo it was a good throw

how do I know? because the crowd went hoooo

in response to the way that I was kicking it

smooth and individual

rhymes always original

like the Dr. Jekyl man and this is my Hyde side

I am the driver and you're on a rap ride

so fellas (yeah)

why don't you tell the girls what yall wanna do

ya wanna ooh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh--ooooh

so pump up the volume along with the tempo

I want everybody in the house to know

Chorus



pump it up pump it up come on now

repeat 5X



yeah, come on now



Chorus



here I go

the the f-f-f-f-fresh p-p-p-prince is who I am

so tell my mother that I never wrote a whack jam

but some times I get n-nervous and start to stutter

and I f-fumble every word for word I utter

so I just try to ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chill

but it gets worse-a but worse-a but-but-but worse still

I need the c-c-c-crowd to k-k-k-kick into it

they help me calm down and I can get through it

so higher higher

get ya hands to the ceiling

let it go yall don't fight the feeling

mic in a strangle hold sweat pourin'

and like Jordan yo I'm scoring

yeah that's right yall and 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



Chorus
