Brand New Funk

James Brown- "get down"

[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

-Get down brand new funk-hit it

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

Ge-Ge-Get down-hit it

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!
