Will Smith - The Reverend lyrics

[INTRO: The Fresh Prince acting as 'The Reverend'] Now brothers and sisters There comes a time in your life, you've got to get up and get busy Can I get a witness? (Yes, brother, yes!) Now I don't know if you're prepared to embark upon this journey But the time is running out Brother Jazzy, break it down [VERSE ONE: The Fresh Prince] Liggedy-ladies and gentlemen, hello, and how are you doin all? Now there's a problem that we really have got to solve In our society there's a big mess People are having entirely too much stress And me and Jeff, yo, we've been workin' on A way to ease your everyday burdens of Work and school, because we thought that we should Make a record that makes people feel good This is a remedy, simple and basic You work too hard, come on, face it You gotta treat yourself, you deserve it Dance like a wild person, come on, you earned it Young and old and old and young Relax, come on, cool out, come and get some You've got to let yourself go get loose It's cool Dance to the music [VERSE TWO: The Fresh Prince] T.G.I.F, this beat is def Can I get a witness, Jeff? (Yes) Are you ready to start things off yet? [Scratching] All right, bet Clap your hands and dance, come on, let's do this Here is a hip-hop track with a new twist Designed to ignite your subliminal dance fuse And even if you can't dance, you can't lose It's for everybody, you included We hooked up a beat and a rhyme and EQ'd it We put it on a tape and took it to wax And then we-- yo Jeff, where's my beat at? Oh, there it is, back to the storyline The music and rhyme are designed to make you have a [good time] At the party, or wherever you hear it pumpin' Get up and twist or breakdance or shake somethin' Yo man, this groove is all o'that And it's different from anything we've done, in fact I might even go as far as to say This cut shines bright on the darkest day And sometimes you really need some light Like when your teacher or boss ain't actin' right This will quench your thirst to chill, it hits the spot Give em a taste, yo Jeff, let the beat rock [BREAK: The Fresh Prince acting as 'The Reverend'] Now Brother Jazzy Please enlighten us with a ba**line ( *Jazzy Jeff lets the ba**line play* ) And for all the people a**embled before us Brother Jazzy, scratch ( *Jazzy Jeff cuts* ) [ The Fresh Prince ] We're at the top, not the bottom or the middle We're the freshest, the deffest, the best Jeff, cut it up a little (Oh, I getcha, you wanna dance!) [VERSE THREE: The Fresh Prince] Ahhhh... The time is now to get up and dance and move And clap and jump and jam and feel the groove I want you wigglin' and jigglin' and stompin' and shakin' And showin' your approval for the records me and Jeff are makin' We got a brand new album out And dancin' and shakin' and movin' is what it's all about We want everybody to get busy You're not down with rap? Then get with it This is a new age, history turned a new page They said that we would decay and I say who do they Think they're dealing with, a couple of amateurs? I'm willin' to bet You'll wear this jam at your job And at your school dance and also on the radio Winter inside the house, summer on the patio Let me get out of here before I lose it But remember the motto, y'all: dance to the music [OUTRO: The Fresh Prince acting as 'The Reverend'] Now now, ladies and gentlemen of the congregation We realize you may not be in a position to get up and dance right now So we'd like to ask of you, if you're in your car, honk your horn Honk your horn to the rhythm We'd like to ask, if you're behind a desk at your job We'd like you to tap your pen and pencil to the rhythm If you're walkin' down the street You can be a little discreet And snap your fingers to the beat But if you are in a position To get up and dance We'd like to ask you to wiggle and jiggle everything you got And get involved with it This has been the Reverend signin' off Signin' off Signin' off
