Lyrics DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Pump Up The Bass

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
