[Intro]
Big Will, raisin' the roof, raisin' the roof
(Show 'em how to do it, Will)

[Verse 1]
Observe the high roller, mic controller
Number one hip-hop son, call me solar
Why? 'Cause I shine, praise the Big Willie, I'm
Raised in Philly, I, daze and thrillin' ya
Don't be silly, ya, can't see me
Again I'm killin' ya on MTV
Just get with it my friend (Damn another award?)
Dat kid done did it again (Oh my Lord!)
Da fantastic, boombastic
Gettin' ten times hotter than any you other cats get
Practice, you lack this, I'm the real McCoy
First with Jeff I was startin'
Then with Martin I'm a Badboy
See more green than David Banner
More juice than Tropicana
You hawkin' me like Atlanta
MCs just flee, they rightfully concerned
Big Will wants the mic back, it's my turn to burn

[Interlude]
Baby, uh, baby, uh
Verse two, verse two

[Verse 2]
I'm back attackin' the mic, hype like a Viking
Strikin' like a python, blaze like Jon
A hip-hop icon, MC radical
Back on track from my rap/act sabbatical
Nine-point-six on the richter, kicked her
Yeah so slick the, chicks quick to, flip tha
Bright glance and the tight pants for the slight chance
"Big Willie can we get one dance?"
Why yes, you may an', I'm just sayin'
That dress you playin', is A-Okay an'
This is your chance for, at least it could be
Me, you an your girlfriend on the dancefloor, ménage-boogie
On the scene I fronts and dashin', fashion
Lost my cream once, now I'm stashin', cashin'
Countries and currencies, like a true Don
It's a new time and it's mine, watch me shine
The way I blaze through the days and nights
How I deal with the craze, my momma raised me right
Whether I'm on stage or in the studio booth
A hundred proof, raisin' the roof, raisin' the roof

[Chorus]
(Y'all know) Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(She know) Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(He know) Can't nobody get it hot like me
(You know) Y'all need to stop 'cause you can't see me
(Y'all know) Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(He know) Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(She know) Can't nobody get it hot like me
(Y'all know) Y'all need to stop 'cause you can't see me

[Verse 3]
Seven continents I bruise all cruise
Adidas, kilts, or bamboos and no shoes
Eskimos to Aborigines
I'll test the flows of the world's MCs
I'll hit you out the ball park, you just all talk
Don't be lookin' at my script, you can't play my part
See I'm a rapper that's a actor, you act rap with no heart
The way that I compose those flows like Mozart
Gets somthing like a symphony, when I'm orchestratin' 'em
Ever since the days of me and Jeff at the Paladium
All my life I've been the cream of the crop
Shoppin' a dream, now I got a crop full of cream
I raise mics for the flow of it, you know the show of it
Not the Benz 600 four door of it
I'm a rhyme regardless of earnin'
Long as my heart keeps yearnin' I gots to keep burnin'

[Chorus]
(Y'all know) Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(She know) Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(He know) Can't nobody get it hot like me
(You know) Y'all need to stop 'cause you can't see me
(Y'all know) Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(He know) Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(She know) Can't nobody get it hot like me
(Y'all know) Y'all need to stop 'cause you can't see me
(Y'all know) Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(She know) Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(He know) Can't nobody get it hot like me
(You know) Y'all need to stop 'cause you can't see me
(Y'all know) Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(He know) Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(She know) Can't nobody get it hot like me
(Y'all know) Y'all need to stop 'cause you can't see me
(Y'all know) Can't nobody rock a crowd like me
(She know) Can't nobody make it bounce like me
(He know) Can't nobody get it hot like me
(You know) Y'all need to stop 'cause you can't see me

Will Smith

Will Smith is a famed actor who has so many iconic movie roles in Hollywood blockbusters under his belt you sometimes forget he’s an accomplished rapper, too.

Smith started as the MC of the hip-hop duo “DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince,” with his childhood friend Jeffrey “DJ Jazzy Jeff” Townes as turntablist and producer. They gained critical acclaim and won the first Grammy awarded in the Rap category (1988).

As a result of spending money carelessly, Smith was nearly bankrupt in 1990, when the NBC television network signed him to a contract and built a sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, around him.
