  • Boom! Shake the Room - DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. The f-f-f-f-fresh p-p-p-prince is who I am / so tell my mother that I never wrote a whack jam / but some times I get n-nervous and start to stutter / and I f-fumble every word for word I utter / so I just try to ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chill / but it gets worse-a but worse-a but-but-but worse still / I need the c-c-c-crowd to k-k-k-kick it to me.
