Brand New Funk
by Will Smith

James Brown- "get down"

[Fresh Prince] It's new, it's out of the ordinary
It's rather extrordinary,
so yo bust this commentary
A literary, genius, and a superior beat creator
have come together, and we made a
musical composition which we think is a remedy
to cure all the dance floors that's empty
You wanna dance? We got what you want
Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince bustin out with the brand new
funk

-Get down brand new funk-hit it

It was kind of an accident, the way that it happened
One day I was rappin, and on the beat, Jeff was backin me up

And all of a sudden, he brought in a cut And I dropped my
microphone and said, "What the...? Hold up, Jeff, wait
a minute, play it"
He just smiled and said, "Yeah def ain't it?"

It was {funky} it made wanna {get, get down!} And we knew
almost at once it was the {brand new funk}
So we continued to listen to it
And we knew it was def when I started rappin to it
So I gave a hi-five to Jeff and without hesitation popped in
my cassette
I took it home that night, and analyzed it
Rewound the tape over and over, and memorized it
That Friday, we went to the club And out and out cold tore
it up!
You shoulda seen the people dancin and shakin and movin and
jumpin and spinnin and clappin, while the beatboxin was
groovin and screamin and yellin while on the microphone I
was flowin
Fresh rhymes I was showin, the people say, "Yo keep
goin" So I continued to rock, while Jeff was on the
beatbox Special assistance from my homeboy Ready Rock
People barged just to get up front to get a bird's eye view
of what we call the brand new funk
Ge-Ge-Get down-hit it

Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat} Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat} Yo Jeff!
{Rock the beat} * Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * Yo Jeff!
{Rock the beat} Yo Jeff! {Rock the beat} Yo Jeff! {Rock the
beat with your hands..}

Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches * Now get funky with the beat!

Jeff starts spinning backwards * Now turn it all
around!
The most original, amazing, astounding, miraculous
remarkable, startling, sensational, stupendous music
that has ever been created is ours - but believe me it was
complicated
But we have done it, so now we can breathe a long awaited
sigh of relief
This isn't a publicity stunt It's the raw untouched, pure,
hard brand new funk!

{Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the
beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} * Jazzy Jeff cuts and
scratches * {Rock the beat with your hands..} {Rock the
beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock the beat} {Rock
the beat} {Rock the beat} * Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches *
{Rock the beat with your hands..}
