Pump Up The Bass

D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

[Fresh Prince]



In the place to be



DJ Jazzy Jeff and yours truly the Fresh Prince



Ay Jeff do me a favor give em just a lil' TOUCH of the bass



Not a lot just a lil' touch Jeff




Word word



Ay Jeff do me a favor man Jazz it up




Now bring it all back




Yo man now break it down and let me go for mine




When I first started out Jeff used to come to my house



Just as soon as school let out, he used to



come to my crib, and you know what we did?



We bugged out like two little kids, word



Jeff on the wheels, and me on the M.I.C.



A better combination there could never be



So let's go back, for old time's sake



Yo Jeff! (WHAT?) Pump up the bass!




I . like . my . music . loud!



The volume, pumpin, the kickdrum thumpin



The people jumpin, up out there seats



when this record comes on, you think something's wrong



The bass is too strong



You don't have to check your record, it's not defective



It's just the way we wanted it, pump it, get it?



We like it loud, strong like a magnum force



I am the lyricist, Jeff is the rhythm source



This combination, is virtually omnipotent



That means invincible, you know, dominant



So don't you cross our path, just stay out our face



Or we'll knock you down, pump up the bass!




Yo Jeff man, how bout a funky scratch




Now get funky with it




Now bring in the snare




Now break it down and bring it all back to me




Now pump up the bass!




I'm hyped -- psyched up



and I'm flowin, so come on let's go in



to the next segment, of this hip-hop fantasy



You say this
