i have AJ's lyrics right here. enjoy them

Lyrics compiled by AJ Blackstock

DJ Jazzy Jeff and yours truly, the Fresh Prince

Are making an addition to all the events

Of the past and present musical eras

We want the young and the old to hear us

As we blend two different styles of music

Never will another group be able to do this

The way that we mix the present with the past

Our hip-hop but with a touch of jazz

Attention to all parents and guardians

Here's a rap record that not about partying

It's deep, with meaningful rappin'

It could very well close the generation gap in…music

And make parents and children all sit down

And the both be willing to listen to our music, rap with class

It's hip-hop but with a toucha toucha touch of jazz

Making a record is similar to baking

You need ingredients if you plan on making

It come out correctly, and in a second

I'm gonna give the recipe we used for this record

A quarter cup of rhymes and a cup of beats

A half of cup of clubs and a dash of the streets

A piece of the present and a pinch of the past

Throw in Jeff and The Prince and a touch of jazz

It's amazing…NO, in fact it's phenomenal

It's utterly stupendous, it's mind-bogglin'

How could two guys such as Prince and Jazzy Jeff

Wind up being so def?

Who do you know, huh? With this much talent?

You say you know someone? I doubt it pal

You know why? 'Cause we're the cream of the crop

Who else would thought to mix Jazz up with hip-hop?

Huh? What's wrong? The cat got your tongue?

You know this record is headed for number one

On the chart, 'cause we're tops in our class

'Cause we mix hip-hop up with a touch of jazz

It waz recorded during the era of Rock The House...but not with the sessions of all the album trax. The funny thing is that they definitly cut the lyrics in one take....cuz FP fumbles the last line. Instead of "'Cause we mix Hip-Hop with A Touch of Jazz," he actually says "'Cause we MISS Hip-Hop..." which cracks me up everytime.

Well, I have it on mp3. I bought all vinyl only singles a while ago and recorded it on my computer and burned it on cd. And I have a copy of it on my pc as an mp3. I could upload it, but I've never done that before so if one of you could explain to me how to upload on rapidshare without having a account there, I could upload it...
