fresh prince
listen homeboys don’t mean to bust your bubble
but girls of the world ain’t nothing but trouble
so next time a girl gives you the play
just remember my rhyme and get the hell away
one
just last week when i was walking down the street
i observed this lovely lady that i wanted to meet
i walked up to her i said hello
she said hey you’re kind of cute i said yes i know but
by the way sweetheart what’s your name
she said my friends like to call me exotic elaine
i said my name is the prince and she said why
i said well i don’t know i’m just a hell of a guy
but enough about me yo let’s talk about you
and all the wonderful things that you and i can do
i popped some trash and in a little bit of time
i showed some cash and the girl was mine
i took her over town i wined her and dined her
she asked me ‘did i like her’ i said well kinda
all of a sudden she jumped out her seat
snatched me up by my wrist and took me out to the street
she started grabbin all over me kissin’ and huggin’
so i shoved her away i said you better stop buggin’
she got mad looked me dead in my face
threw her hands in the air and yelled out rape
i got scared when she started to yell
so i handed her my wallet and ran like hell
i was duckin’ through alleys right and left
but when the cops caught up they almost beat me to death
i was arrested charged with aggravated assault
hey yo clancy we got him but it wasn’t my fault
fresh prince
nevertheless don’t mean to bust your bubble

i was in a bar one friday night
coolin’ watchin’ a mike tyson fight
i was maxin’ and relaxin’ sippin’ on tequila
when this girl walked up she said hi my name is sheila
i responded by saying hello
she paid for my drink and then said let’s go
0 minutes later things were starting to cook
as we pulled up into her house i said i’m with you toots
the music was soft and there was wine in the glasses
she started winking and making little passes
at me she grabbed me close and that’s when she got bold
she started feeling up my back i said oh your hands are cold
we went into her bedroom thinking of one thing
took the phone off the hook to avoid the annoying ring
i carresed her body and i kissed her cheek
and that’s when i observed those satin bed sheets
i felt that it was time for me to make my move
i thought i better hurry up before i busted the groove
i leaned down to kiss her but then out of the blue
a door slammed and a voice said baby where are you
her boyfriend busted in he grinned an evil grin
and said boy i’mma tear your butt limb from limb
i was scared as hell where was i supposed to go
i just yelled geronimo and jumped out the window
just my luck we were in a snow storm
and all i had was my underwear on to keep my warm
and to top the night off i had to break in my place
because my keys were in my pants back on sheila’s book case
i was done sneezin’ and coughin’ aaachoo
i hope this doesn’t happen too often but
