Lyrics

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 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 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 (Hit it!) 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 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
