Yo Jeff, what`s shakin, man?
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
What`s up, dude?
[ Fresh Prince ]
Hey man, you remember that girl I knew
I walking to school, man
The one who used to diss me every day?
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Yeah
[ Fresh Prince ]
When the record came out she called me two days ago, man
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Man, my phone is ringin off the hook
With people askin me for tapes and free records
I - man, I ain`t with it
[ Fresh Prince ]
Word man
Bust this
[ Fresh Prince ]
This rap is for you people in the past who were against me
Who snatched up every opportunity to dis me
Put me down like I was nothin, treated me like a jerk
Now I`m seein the pay-off of all my hard work
Cause now that it`s MY records on the wheels
Somehow all of a sudden it`s a whole new deal
So for those in the past who dissed me, don`t deny it
What, you`re sorry? Huh - don`t even try it!
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Word man
[ Fresh Prince ]
Man, people are a trip, man
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Put everybody down about what`s up with that
[ Fresh Prince ]
Yo word, man
I gotta let em know
I gotta
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Bust this

I used to know this girl by the name of Theresa
I did all I could to make her release her
Emotions to me, but she just wouldn`t do it
She built up a wall and I couldn`t break through it
I used to walk to school every day of the week
Watchin Theresa walk on the other side of the street
One day I finally got my heart up to speak
But she dissed me and dismissed me with a smack on my cheek
So I bought six bottles of new fancy cologne
But all I got from Theresa was (Leave me alone!)
I bought new clothes to wear everyplace
But all Theresa would say was (Get out of my face!)
So I gave up this quest for Theresa
But then on the day my record was released, a
Strange thing happened when it came on the radio
Theresa broke her neck just to say (Hello..)
I looked at her, I said, You must be foolish
Why did you ignore me on the way to school if
You were interested? She said (Oh, I apologize)
I looked deep into her dark brown eyes
I said, You ignored me for months on and
Now all of a sudden you wanna be my friend?
You didn`t talk before, so don`t talk now, be quiet
What, you really like me? Huh - don`t even try it!
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
Man - she had a lotta nerve, man
[ Fresh Prince ]
Word man
Hey man, but she ain`t had half as much nerve as that old record producer, man
Remember when he dissed us, man?
[ Jazzy Jeff ]
What - what up?
[ Fresh Prince ]
When I first started rappin I had one idea
And it was set in my mind very vivid and clear
I knew that I wanted to be a rap artist
I would give my all and work my hardest
But when I took my song to a record producer
He told me that I better go drink some rap juice, or
Something, cause my song was really absurd
He said that it was the worst trash that he`d ever heard
You know my ego was shattered, he busted my groove
I could hear him crackin up as I left the booth (Ha-haaa!)
I thought my song was good but he busted my bubble
The title was `Girls Ain`t Nothing But Trouble`
Luckily I found someone who had faith
He lifted my ego back up into place
His name was Dana Goodman and he thought my song was on track
So two weeks later it was out on wax
It busted up the charts like a hydrogene bomb
