DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Fresh Prince - Time to Chill lyrics
[DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Fresh Prince - Time to Chill lyrics]
For years I have been waitin
And hesitatin to make a
Rap record, that had the pace of a
Slow song, quiet storm
Chillin while the fire is warm
You and your girl, with this record on
Your radio or stereo, I don't know
I love you so is what you'll be sayin
While this record's playin
You reminscin and kissin your girl
Relax, lay back, unwind
Because now it's time to chill
Setting the mood, by the use of this groove
Is an ingenious, perceptive, brilliant
A very clever move because the bass line
Combined with the fresh rhyme
At a slow tempo entices passion to grow
But if it's not passion for which you search
Then use the song as a massage
After a hard day's work
And if it's true that music
Calms the savage beast
Play this cut in the jungle and
Put the lions to sleep
Take a deep breath, stretch
Kick off your footwear
Put on the tape of this record, but beware
Caution, warning, it's your decision
There's nothin stronger that you can buy
Without prescription
It's soothing, somewhat hypnotic
A rhythmic anesthetic it's
Practically a narcotic
You want it? We got it -
Come get it we're widdit
Because it's all at the push
Of a button, yo Jeff, hit it!
The objective, of this musical extravaganza
Is to enlighten you, stanza by stanza
Verse after verse
Have been precisely arranged
Rearranged and then changed until
The best remained
The result being, this incredible song
So for at least eight hours a day
You'll have this record on
In the morning and at night in your room
And all through the afternoon, you will be
Listening, mentally wrapped up in the cut
Some people will sit down and some
Will choose to get up
But whatever you choose
Just keep your ear to the wax
Because we got somethin def
That other rappers lack
We haven't been able to put our
Fingers on what it is
But it's different and it's def
And it appeals to kids
And teens and adults and senior citizens too
And I'd be willing to bet
That it appeals to you, too!
So if you're not into rap, give us a chance
To change your mind, and to make you dance
To this lyrical miracle
This musical discovery
But yo I wanna chill for a second, yo Jeff
Cover me
It's like paradise, this music is nice
It makes you hot if you want it too
Or twice as cold as ice
It brings love to the heart of a criminal
With this subliminal power, all the women'll
Flock while all the guys rock
When it's on your box
It gained us a much bigger
Reputation than the White Sox
You may ask yourself are we that famous?
Bust this
The Queen of Spain knows what my real name is
Our time is runnin short so
I'll bid you farewell
You know this cut is so def
That you have been overwhelmed
Be cool, be chill, relax, have no fear
I'm outta here
And hesitatin to make a
Rap record, that had the pace of a
Slow song, quiet storm
Chillin while the fire is warm
You and your girl, with this record on
Your radio or stereo, I don't know
I love you so is what you'll be sayin
