Jeff Waz On The Beat Box
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince Lyrics

There was a party the other day
Recently, there was a celebration that I attended

Around my way
In the area where I live

They asked if me and Jeff would play
The organizers requested for Jeff and me to perform

We said okay
We agreed to the request

We nipped out to get the hip hop apparatus
We quickly went out to acquire the necessary equipment for hip-hop music

Came back with the posse in full effect status
We returned with our group of supporters in full force

While Jeff set up, I said 'check one two y'all'
As Jeff was arranging the equipment, I tested the microphone and sound system by saying 'check one two y'all'

Everybody clap lets begin to ball
As a signal to start the music, I asked the audience to clap along and let's have fun

I was rapping a capella but I had to stop
Initially, I was performing without any accompaniment, but I had to pause

Because chaos broke because Jeff waz on the beat box
The excitement turned into a frenzy when Jeff started playing the beat box

Did you know that parties were all the same when we came up
Back then, all parties had the same format

We had to rearrange and make a change
We needed to innovate and introduce something new

I remember how it was people standing still
People used to just stand around and not move

The music was wack so they chose to get ill
The music was not good enough, so they chose to act wild and crazy

People started breaking and fights would start to break out
People begin to break dance, and sometimes, fights would ensue

This is the reason why some people make out
Some folks believe that this behavior is why hip-hop has a negative connotation

Hip-hop to be bad
Some people think that hip-hop is negative

Because of this behaviour
They attribute this to the behavior at parties from back then

Then like a miracle two musical saviours
But, then Jeff and I appeared as if it was a miraculous event

One with a microphone
I'm the one with the microphone

The other with tables
Jeff is the one playing the beat box

Both up ready both willing and able
Both of us were ready and capable

Burst on the scene like TNT
Our entry on the music scene was explosive

People said, 'who can it be?'
People were in awe and asked themselves who we were

Cant you see it's Jeff and me
The answer is that Jeff and I are the ones who are entertaining them

We all blazed as musical scholars
We were both impressive and knowledgeable musicians

Fast admiration ??? dollars
We gained fame and earned money rapidly

Couple of kids with a bright idea
We were just young people with a unique concept

Didn't want a 9 to 5 made rap careers
We didn't want a typical nine-to-five job and chose to become rappers

People tried to diss and make the egos shrink
Some individuals tried to insult and belittle us

But we believe in ourselves so to hell what they think
However, we have confidence in ourselves and don't care about what they think

Moving like a freight train we can't be stopped
We are unstoppable, and our momentum is like a freight train

Especially when I'm on the microphone and Jeff is on the beat box
Our performance is breathtaking, and Jeff's beatboxing is a vital part of the act

Yo cut it up Jeff
Jeff, please play the beat box for us

Scratched 'hip-hop'
Jeff added the hip-hop scratches to the music

I know I talk about Jeff a whole hell of a lot
I'm aware that I mention Jeff often

But straight up man you gotta give him his props
But, honestly, you have to acknowledge his talent

There's not many people who can do what he does
Not many people have the skill that he has

Marly Marl, Teddy Riley and herbie the luvebug
Some of the few people that have the same talent are Marly Marl, Teddy Riley, and Herbie Luv Bug

But other than that there's not many around
Besides these few, not many people possess the same talent

That can take that box and make it sound
There is only a handful of people that can play the beat box as Jeff does

Like anything that you could possibly want
Jeff can produce any beat that you might desire

Now here's a rhyme that sums it up
I'm going to give you a summary of how talented Jeff is

Jeff is diggy diggy d dope and
Jeff is amazing and fantastic

You DJ's out there keep hopin
Other DJs aspire to be like him

His beat boxers will be broken
Other beatboxers cannot compare to his talent

But you might as well just keep hopin
Nonetheless, other people keep hoping they could reach his level

????
Unknown meaning

You think he can your mis-taken
You underestimate his capabilities

Our records he is brizzeakin (breakin0
We gain a massive number of fans because of his beatboxing skills

(Come on man you can mix)
Unknown meaning

Grammy-winning musicians
Jeff and I are musicians who have received Grammy Award recognition

His beatbox is a kizz-kickin
Jeff's beatboxing is exceptional

And all my rhymes are hizz-hittin
My rapping skills are impressive

The album's out so go get it
Our album is available for purchase, so buy it now

There ain't no way we st-stopping
We have no intention of stopping anytime soon

We got the party rizzockin (rockin)
We are keeping the celebration lively and energetic

We got the crowd a hip hoppin
The audience is dancing and enjoying our performance

When Jeff is on the beat box
Jeff's beatboxing is a game-changer

One more time scratch Jeff
Please, Jeff, play the beatbox one more time

Mmm lets see what's next on the agenda
Let's find out what's the next item on our itinerary

That's right oh yeah I've got it I remember
I just remembered what it is

I was discussing when Jeff's on stage
I was talking about how extraordinary Jeff's performance is when he's on stage

Yeah hands clap
The audience applause enthusiastically

Ya feet tap
People cannot help but dance when Jeff is playing the beatbox

Ya eardrums pulsate
The music is incredibly powerful

Ya body will move
The rhythmic beat of Jeff's music makes you want to move your body

As ya flow with the groove
You let yourself go with the music's rhythm

And you smile as he composes this new rap tune
You feel happy as Jeff creates a new rap song with his beatboxing

When he's on the stage he can't be stopped
Jeff's performance is impeccable and unstoppable

Specially when I'm on the microphone and Jeff is on the beat box
When I'm rapping and Jeff is playing the beat box, our music is unbeatable
