Boom Shake the Room
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince Lyrics

Yo back up now and give a brother room
Step back and leave some space for me

The fuse is lit and I'm about to go boom
I'm ready to show my power and energy

Mercy mercy mercy me
I'm astonished by the energy and excitement

My life is a cage but on stage I'm free
Although I feel trapped in my own life, performing makes me feel free

Hyped up syched up ready for wil'in'
I'm excited and pumped up for the performance

Standing in a crowd of girls like an island
I'm surrounded by girls and feel like I'm on my own island

I see the one I want to sic come here cutie
I see the girl I like and want to pursue her

I flip 'em around and then I work that booty
I dance with her and show off my moves

Work the body work work the body
Move your body and dance

Slow down girl you're 'bout to hurt somebody
Calm down, you're dancing too aggressively

Oh and yo let's get just one thing clear
Let me clarify something

There's only one reason why I came here
I came here to perform and feel the crowd's energy

Ya really done want me to tig-a-tig-a-tig-a tell ya wassup (go)
Do you really want me to tell you what's going on?

Boom! shake-shake-shake the room
Make the energy go crazy and shake the room

Tic-tic-tic-tic Boom!
The energy is building and about to explode

Well yo are y'all ready for me yet (pump it up prince)
Are you guys excited and ready for my performance?

Dance in the aisles when the prince steps to it
People dance in the aisles when I start performing

The rhyme is a football y'all and I went and threw it
My rhymes are powerful and I'm delivering them with strength

Out in the crowd and yo it was a good throw
The crowd is liking what I'm doing with my performance

Because the crowd went hoooo
The crowd is cheering and reacting loudly

Smooth and individual Rhymes always original
My rhymes are unique and original

Like the Dr. Jekyl man and this is my Hyde side
I have another side that only comes out during my performances

I am the driver and you're on a rap ride
I'm leading the show and taking you on a journey through my performance

So fellas (yeah) Are y'all wit me (yeah)
My male audience, are you guys enjoying the show?

Why don't you tell the girls what y'all want to do
Guys, why don't you tell the girls what you want to do?

That's right yo and I'm in the flow
I'm in my zone and doing well

Mic in a strangle hold sweat pourin'
I'm holding the microphone tightly while sweating and performing

And like Jordan yo I'm scoring
I'm doing great, just like Michael Jordan scoring in basketball

So pump up the volume along with the tempo
Let's increase the volume and energy of the performance

Many have died tryin' to stop my show
People have tried to stop me from performing, but I won't let them

Here I go The the f-f-f-f-fresh p-p-p-prince is who I am
I'm the Fresh Prince and I'm about to perform

But some times I get n-nervous and start to stutter
Sometimes I get nervous and can't speak clearly

And I f-fumble every word for word I utter
I stumble over my words and can't speak clearly

So I just try to ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chill
I try to relax and calm down

But it gets worse-a but worse-a but-but-but worse still
But things get worse and I get even more nervous

I need the see-see-see-crowd to k-k-k-kick into it
I need the crowd to engage and help me feel more comfortable

They help me calm down and I can get through it
The crowd helps me relax and finish my performance

Higher higher, Get ya hands to the ceiling
Put your hands up and feel the excitement

Let it go y'all don't fight the feeling
Relax and let loose, don't resist the energy
