[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 can't be happening, why can't it be? 
It's an equation, mathematically correct 
It's Jeff + Prince, equals, hit records 
Sounds too easy? Word, I know it does 
You wanna know why? Well yo it's cause 
me and Jeff, oh, Jeff and I, excuse me 
blend like Kool-Aid, and flow like an uzi 
That's why we can't be taken or broken or braken, whatever 
And if you think we can, you're mistaken, we're clever 
cause all we did to make this record a hit 
was turn down the treble, pump up the bass kit 
at the same time the volume was increased 
adding more strength, to this masterpiece 
of poetry, by now you know it's me 
Poet, creativity, pushin, to out destiny 
I am on the M-I-C, Jeffery is the Disc Jockey 
? keep us company, the human beat box Ready C 
Backed up by a family, and that is all we need 
so that we can be successful as we want to be 
The future is in front of me so here is a taste 
of the future of hip-hop Jeff, pump up the bass! 
Yo Jeff one more scratch man 
Ready Rock C man, give Jeff a hand
