Songwriter: DJ Jazzy Jeff Will Smith

[Intro]
The F-L-Y guy
About to toss some action

[Verse 1]
Here I come again with a groove to move you
Somethin' kinda smooth, you can bop your head to
Chill it, the feel, you can play it anytime
It's smooth, is the groove, play it back behind the rhyme
So please, put a freeze, on hooving and hollering
Fans deserve more, for their hip-hop dollar, man
And I'm just the rapper to deliver
The rapper that can give a
Funky rhyme, flowing like a river
Silky, silky, kind to the ear
Diction perfect, rhymes all clear
Tempo moderate, this ain't no marathon
Step back, new jack's, observe the paragon
Uh? Who? What? Why? When?
Don't be looking around clown, that's right, I'm back again
With the dopeness, you're head is bopping isn't it?
Yeah I thought so. Yo, I'm just kickin' it

[Chorus]
(Yeah...)
(Just kickin' it)
Yeah, Yeah
I'm just kickin' it!
(Just kickin' it)
Just watch me, y'all
I'm jus kickin it
(Just kickin' it)
Uh, yeah, yo, I'm just kickin it

[Verse 2]
Prepare for a voyage, just close your eyes
Who ain't ready, holler out; I
Well ain't nobody hollering, ‘cause all is perfect
The groove is a wave, and my rhyme's a surfing
The track design with a rhyme in mind
Bidi budup up up, the charts we'll climb
Every other rapper trying to get you to jump
But when you're all done jumpin', I'mma get you what you really want
Track by track displaying my ability
The man, FP, showing true dexterity
On the mic, no rules, I'm lawless
Wicked when I kick it and my rhymes are flawless
So sit back, relax and allow me to rock ya
With a hit that you're gonna get mentally locked to
A hip hop solid, an all pro flower
I throw stuff together better than Noah
A cut, to kick it to, kind to the ear drum
All true poetry, from me you'll be hearin' some
So extra, extra, read all about it
I'm slapping the hell out of those that doubt it
I'm rippin' every city I been in
Coast to coast, not to boast, but I'm winning
My fans are powerful, and that's the way I'm living
All without effort y'all
Yo, I'm just kickin' it!

[Chorus]
Uh (Just kickin' it)
Yeah, yeah, I'm just kickin' it
(Just kickin' it)
Come on! Come on, I'm just kickin' it
(Just kickin' it)
Yo, I'm just kickin it'
(Just kickin' it)

[Verse 3]
Let's take a trip, mellow out while I'm rappin'
Your mind is the boat and my rhyme's the captain
So hoist a sail, and it's time to flow
To a place that other rap boats don't go
Welcome, welcome, into my territory
Everybody get on up, and get busy for me
Heads are boppin hard and fast
And now I'm getting' sued ‘cause my groove caused whiplash
Every time I rhyme I try to
Say something smooth, that'll move inside you
The way that you should feel when you hear a real rap
Is trapped in the rhyme and your climbing to the climax
A lyrical painter, the Fresh Prince
And y'all in awe of my Picasso essence
Musical passion, lovely isn't?
But it ain't nothing to it
Yo, I'm just kickin it

[Chorus]
(Just kickin' it)
Just check me, check me, just kickin it
(Just kickin' it)
Like Pronto y'all, I'm just kickin' it
(Just kickin' it)
Uh, uh, I'm just kickin' it
(Just kickin' it)
Yo, I'm out

(Just kickin' it)
(Laa-aha)
(Just kickin' it)
(He-he-he-ha)
(Just kickin' it)

“DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince” is a hip-hop duo from West Philadelphia.
