It's new, it's outta the ordinary
It's rather extraordinary, so you 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
ย
It was kinda 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? Hol' up, Jeff, wait a minute, play it"
He just smiled and said "Yeah def ain't it?"
It was (funky)
It made me 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
ย
Yo Jeff! (Rock the beat)
Yo Jeff! (Rock the beat)
Yo Jeff! (Rock the beat)
(Beat)
Yo Jeff! (Rock the beat)
Yo Jeff! (Rock the beat)
Yo Jeff! (Rock the beat with yo' hands)
Now get funky with the beat
ย
(Hit it!)
Now turn it all around
ย
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 dunnit, so now we can breathe
A long waited sigh of relief
This isn't a publicity stunt, it's the raw, untouched, pure, hard brand new funk
