Lower Haight Funk Lyrics

  Send "Brand New Funk" Ringtone to your Cell  

[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



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



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}

* Jazzy Jeff cuts and scratches *

{Rock the beat with your hands..}
