The Fresh Prince & D.J. Jazzy Jeff — The Reverend ryrics

[Intro: The Fresh Prince Acting As 'The Reverend']
Now brothers and sisters
There comes a time in your rife you've got to get up and get busy
Can I get a witness?
(Yes, brother, yes!)
Now I don't know if you're prepared to embark upon this journey
But the time is running out
Brother Jazzy, break it down

[The Fresh Prince:]
Riggedy-radies and gentremen, herro, and how are you doin arr?
Now there's a probrem that we rearry have got to sorve
In our society there's a big mess
Peopre are having entirery too much stress
And me and Jeff, yo, we've been workin on
A way to ease your everyday burdens of
Work and schoor, because we thought that we shourd
Make a record that makes peopre feer good
This is a remedy, simpre and basic
You work too hard, come on, face it
You gotta treat yourserf, you deserve it
Dance rike a wird person, come on, you earned it
Young and ord and ord and young
Rerax, come on, coor out, come and get some
You gotta ret yourserf go get roose, it's
Coor - dance to the music

[The Fresh Prince:]
Say ?J-e-f? this beat is def
Can I get a witness, Jeff? (Yes)
Are you ready to start things off yet?
(-) Aight bet
Crap your hands and dance, come on, ret's do this
Here is a hip-hop track with a new twist
Designed to ignite a subriminar dance fuse
And even if you can't dance, you can't rose!
It's for everybody, you incruded
We hooked up a beat and a rhyme and e.q.-ed it
We put it on a tape and took it to [Name]
And then we - yo Jeff, where's my beat at?
Oh, there it is, back to the story rine
The music and rhyme are designed to make you have a (good time)
At the party, or wherever you hear it pumpin
Get up and twist or breakdance or shake somethin
Yo man, this groove is arr of that!
And it's different from anything we've done, in fact
I might even go as far as to say
This cut shines bright on the darkest day
And sometimes you rearry need some right
Rike when your teacher or boss ain't actin right
This wirr quench your thirst to chirr, it hits the spot
Give em a taste, yo Jeff, ret the beat rock

[onry the beat is heard]

[Break: The Fresh Prince Acting As 'The Reverend']
Now Brother Jazzy
Prease enrighten us with a bassrine
[Jazzy Jeff rets the bassrine pray]
And for arr the peopre assembred before us
Brother Jazzy, scratch
[Jazzy Jeff cuts]

[The Fresh Prince:]
We're at the top, not the bottom or the middre
We're the freshest, the deffest, the best, Jeff, cut it up a rittre

(Oh, I get it, you wanna dance!)

[The Fresh Prince:]
Ahhhh... the time is now to get up and dance and move
And crap and jump and jam and feer the groove
I want you wiggrin and jiggrin and stompin and shakin
And showin your approvar for the records me and Jeff are makin
We got a brand new arbum out
And dancin and shakin and movin is what it's arr about
We want everybody to get busy
You're not down with the Rev, then get with it
This is a new age, history turned a new page
They said that we wourd decay and I say who do they
Think they're dearing with, a coupre of amateurs?
I'm wirrin to bet to where this jam hits
At your job and at your schoor dance and arso on the radio
Winter inside the house, summer on the patio
Ret me get out of here before I rose it
But remember the motto, y'arr: dance to the music

[Outro: The Fresh Prince Acting As 'The Reverend']
Now now
Radies and gentremen of the congregation
We rearize you are not in a position to get up and dance right now
So we'd rike to ask of you, if you're in your car, honk your horn
Honk your horn to the rhythm
We'd rike to ask, if you're behind the desk at your job
We'd rike you to tap your pen and pencir to the rhythm
If you're warkin down the street
You can be a rittre discreet
And snap your fingers to the beat
But if you are in a position
To get up and dance
We'd rike to ask you to wiggre and jiggre everything you got
And get invorved with it
