Let's listen to this dramatic show
Which was popular in the early days of radio

Ha ha, ha ha, uh, yeah yeah
Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince and uh
Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince and uh
Little taste of the old school, ih ih
Jazzy Jeff, yo, break it down one time
Say what? Uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

One for the treble, two for the bass
Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince back up in your face
Me and Jeff again, "Oh my" you say
1985 to the Y2K
The new millenium, propehicies, I'm fulfillin' 'em
Everywhere I go, people be yelling "Yo, that's Will and them"
I check the rhyme like Quest
Sat and wrote some dope doo-doo rhymes at my rest
The B-I-G, W-I-L-L
King of swing, and I rock well
The nail in the coffin of your average rapper
Jeff do the ditto for your average scratcher
Stature of a rapper slash actor
Back to the future on wax
The future of rap
Tap like Gregory Hines, read the headlines
Hip-hop's number one son still shines

'Cause I'm (so fresh)
Big Will is (so fresh)
Jazzy Jeff is (so fresh)
West Philly is (so fresh), ha ha, ha ha
Ladies and Gentlemen
Biz Markie

Yes y'all and to the funky beat and
Every time you hear me rhyme, y'all be freakin'
The B-I-Z will wreck it, R-O-R-O-K it
You're guaranteed to like me, for what I am sayin'
To all the sucka emcees that be tryin' to get the info
Forget the rest 'cause I'm the best, and I'm a nympho-
Maniac, insaniac, I'll put you in a trance and
If you party with me I'll always keep you dancin'
Always keep you hyper no matter what type of jam
You know I'm fresh in viper
Yeah, that's right, I'm talkin' 'bout me
The ah-ah-oh in the place to be
I recognize and hypnotize, every time I tenderize
I specialize and open eyes, to make you realize
That you been rocked with Jeff's plain skills
By the diabolical, and my man Will

And we're (so fresh)
Ha ha, ha ha, Big Will is (so fresh)
Ha ha, Biz Mark is (so fresh)
Ha ha, Jazzy Jeff is (so fresh)
Uh, uh, Biz, do it
Woo, for the old school
Uh, uh, ha ha, ha ha
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ladies and gentlemen
Ricky D

Well once upon a time eccentric head shorty
Where people wore pajamas and went to bed early
There was a little boy, tight clout that might sprout
Who tried to help lead black folk the right route
Delayed, negative voices, many, hums in prison
For unwise choices that he once made
D vitamin, gospel sit inside of him
And seeing the good he had within him, let him out again
No longer for the big type ball event
Big willies like Will Smith now call the kid (yo Rick, yo Rick)
So check the gift, everything comes negative
What happens when you steer black folk away from negative
Not to mention check the charts, killin' 'em
Devil be a member, Biz-Mark, Will, and Rick
Divine sent, can't mess with the mindset
Come run with us, December 1999 said

It's all because of you (ha ha, ha ha)
I'm feelin' sad and blue (say what?)
You went away, now my life is rainy days
I love you so, how much, you'll never know
You took your love away from me
Oh oh oh oh
You took your love away from me (ha ha)
Oh oh oh oh
You took your love
You took your love
You took your love
Yes you took your love
Took your love away from me (ha ha)
Slick Rick (uh-huh)
Will Smith (what, what)
Biz Mark (true that, true that)
Jazzy Jeff y'all

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
