Taking it to the top
-
Performed by Will Smith


Now, I'm the Fresh Prince 'n' if you got good sense
you'll keep your distance because my soul intends
is to rock 'n' shock the clock 'n' give my all ?? a lot.
No, I'm not about to stop because I'm takin' it to the top!

A whole lot of people rap, but what good is that if the rap that they're rappin',
is way off track?
I don't mean to attack you but I'm cuttin' no slack to the people that I hear sayin' meaningless rap!
In actuality, I mean in reality, the words that you use are a mere formality.
Vocabulary is not what it's about.
The point that you're tryin' to get across is what counts
'Cause when a lot of rappers rap, they tryin' to use big words.
but that's the most absurd thing I've ever heard of!
They think that that's impressive but when will they learn the lesson,
that it's not the words that count, it's the message!
They get a lot of big words out of some magazines 'n' nine times out of ten,
they don't even know what they mean!
They stand up on a stage, huffin' 'n' puffin', rappin' for nearly an hour but they're not sayin' nothin'!
Really what?
A lot is gibberish 'n' I know that they all wish that they had access to fresh rhymes like this!
I came to rock 'n' shock 'n' give my all ?? a lot.
No, I'm not about to stop because I'm takin' it to the top!

Fresh rhymes 'n' a rasamatas, funk, power and brilliance and mucho possess, good looks 'n' charm 'n personality.
Punch it in your calculator and it adds up to me!
I know the same goes for the rest of my crew, my DJ Jazzy Jeff 'n' Ready Rock-C too!
The ultimate combination of ?? 'n' prestige.
My crew holds the key to fun 'n' every thing you need to party all night, as it's you we will excite.
The time is right, so don't fight it!
Suckers, please don't bite it!
We came to rock 'n' shock 'n' give my all ?? a lot.
No, we're not about to stop because we're takin' it to the top!

I really hate to brag about it,
but when people doubt it,
I have to stand up 'n' tell the whole world all about it!
United we stand divided we fall, is the motto of our crew and it's honored by all of us!
We pledge allegiance to the ones we hurt.
It enables us always to come out first!
We came to rock 'n' shock 'n' give my all ?? a lot.
Yo Jeff man! Why don't you take it to the top?

We succeed at every time we attempt.
What the hell, you gotto dance, 'cause no one is exempt from the grooves that's formed by us.
Of course you know.
Stay out our way or behold the brute force of me, Jeff, and Ready Rock-C.
We're a trio, oh you didn't know, that means that there's three of us
One for all and all for one.
And we're takin' it to the top before we gettin' done.
I'm inclined to rhyme anytime you'll find it ain't a rapper with a rhyme as impressive as mine.
I insist on a rise 'n' I deplossive decline.
On the day I recent, that's the day I resign.
I'm creatin', my friends, 'n' innovatin' my rap.
Why is that?
I don't know, I guess I got it like that.
A personality infinite beyond the rhyme of mediocre.
My advice for life is if you want somethin' over it!
'Cause there's nothin' that's beyond your grab.
Just set your mind to, work hard, 'n' you can have anything, the sky is the limit!
Stop loungin' around, get up 'n' go get it!
'Cause I came a long way from the past till the date, and I'm never slowin' down.
Uh-uh, no way!
I came to rock 'n' shock 'n' give my all ?? a lot,
'n' no, I'm not about to stop because I'm takin' it to the top!
