Numero Uno Lyrics


One, oneGrand number, grand numero
Court is now in session here ye here ye all listen close
To the man the myth the Fresh Prince the utmost
I got a brain like a cup and rhymesI pour em' Spectrum to the Astrodome to bore 'em
All the way to Wembley fans are in a frenzy
Doing what I gotta do to make people remember meFast like Flo Jo crazy like Cujo
Both I know and you know
That I'm numero uno
My crew is numeroOrder in the court prepare to cop the plea sucker
Judge jury bailiff their all me you're on trial but you can't win
'Cause I wrote the script you die in the end
So throw in the towel sign off just give it up
You tried to beat me in a game that I made upAnd by the time you learn the rules and tried to change your fate
It's too little, too late, sorry chump check mate
I'm in the room to do my thing
You wanna battle let's go, just get your butt in the ringTen seconds and it's over I yell out who's next
I got you off guard with the lyrical sup lex
I flex my lyrics so that you cant jinx

The ship that wont sink more popular than the SphinxI'm a cardo will strong just like a dinosaur
You want more your not scared then what your running for
'Cause I'm the incredible I do the impossible
I'm known to destroy you and your crew if you follow the rulesI'm number one, I'm the Prince, I'm the lyrical gun
What you're dissing me yo cut that out son
'Cause I'm a weapon you heard what I said
And I should have a danger sign on my forehead'Cause I'm lethal, fatal, unstable
I'm intro standing in front of a mic cable
Waiting to blow if there's a flick or a static
To ignite the fuse in the room you feel the doomYou tried to break but there's no escape
From the jaws of death you took the bait
Wait and if I say so you may go
It's like mother mayor May It, oh hell noGo ahead and play me if you think I'm a joke
Just keep a brace around for when your neck gets broken
'Cause your gambling just like craps and Trump go ahead roll
Snake eyes you lost, chumpThat's the way its gonna be every time you try to go rhyme for rhyme
Your rhymes against my rhymes are dope
Your rhyming is weak your rhyming is wack
Wherever you got it from I suggest that you take it backHold up Hobbes you say you made it up
Then cut your head off because your brain sucks
You should a stayed back, you should a laid back
You Should a prayed that I didn't come backBut I came back remember way back
You used to say that I wrote wack raps
Now your screaming out somebody tame that
Lyrical cyclops yo prince please stopSomebody call the cops, go get you some eye drops
Now here's a word for the wise don't go into the light
That's how I get ya cause I'm a poetic poltergeist
Now in ya mind is a vision that's driven by my decision
To become an imaginations figmentWhich gives you the freedom to explore and roll around with your mind
And disappear when you look behind you know I'm a gladiator
And I really hate a sucker stepping to me that's a perpetrator
Really I'm the evader terminatorThat's like setting up do that and detonator
Go the fat was
You know that I'm def cause
I just transformed it like Jeff doesFast like Flo Jo crazy like Cujo
Both I and you know
That I'm numero uno
My crew is numero
Grand number
My crew is numero

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince was a 1980s and 1990s rap duo. The vocalist of this duo, Will Smith, met Jeff Townes while trying to make a name for himself in West Philadelphia’s local party/rap scene. After joining forces, the team became local celebrities. Philadelphia-based Pop Art Records released their first single, Girls Ain’t Nothing but Trouble, in late 1985, a tale of misadventures with the opposite sex. The song sampled the theme of I Dream of Jeannie. Smith became known for lighthearted, storytelling raps and capable, through curse-free, 'battle' rhymes. Townes was known for his turntable acrobatics, and is credited by many as inventing a style of scratching called "transforming".

Based off this success, the duo were brought to the attention of Jive Records and Russell Simmons’. Their first album, Rock the House, debuted on Jive in the summer of 1987. The band found themselves on their first major tour with Run DMC, Public Enemy, and others, that same year. The album sold about 300,000 units. Their 1988 follow-up hit, He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper made them multi-platinum stars. Mostly recorded in the UK, the album was rap musics’s first double-vinyl LP release (also issued as a single cassette and CD). Parents Just Don’t Understand, the lead-off single, made them MTV household names, and tracks like Brand New Funk was received well by their fans. Rock The House was re-released to gold sales later that year.

Another single, Nightmare on My Street, showcased a fictional confrontation with movie villain Freddy Krueger. Coinciding with the release of the fourth Nightmare on Elm Street film (1988’s "The Dream Master"), New Line Cinema was not pleased. A video allegedly shot for the single was buried, and a disclaimer was hastily included on pressings of the album indicating that the record was not officially affiliated with any of the "Nightmare" films (ironically, Jive Records ended up releasing the soundtrack to the next film in the series, "The Dream Child").

1989 saw the release of And In This Corner..., which sold gold, but saw the duo slip in popularity. The crossover curse of various rap acts had come to pass, as their initial audience felt they had become too accessible; non-crossover rap acts like Big Daddy Kane and Boogie Down Productions had bigger street followings; meanwhile, pop radio had latched on to new faces like Tone Loc and Young MC, while non-radio followers became more enamored with hardcore acts like Ice-T and 2 Live Crew. In a bit of mild irony, the lead single, I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson, featured the brawler in its video, but shortly after the band’s Grammy performance in 1990, Tyson lost his first fight with Buster Douglas.

Smith would later admit to a spendthrift attitude during this time, becoming near-broke, which led him to feel he had nothing to lose when a TV producer approached him to do a show on NBC. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air boosted his profile, and pocketbook, giving him the leverage to stage a comeback album, Homebase, in 1991. The platinum album featured the lead-off single Summertime, which has become one of their most enduring hits. Code Red, their last studio LP as a duo, released in 1993 to gold sales. The duo made it to the very top of the Singles charts in 1993 with the single Boom! Shake The Room.

Shortly afterward, Smith began to look at acting full-time; his movie roles increased, finally getting his first lead role in 1995’s Bad Boys. 1996’s Independence Day cemented him as a major draw, and he left the Fresh Prince that same year. Strangely, he and Townes ended up being sued by Jive, who alleged that the duo still owed them albums. In an intervew, Smith has stated that while shooting the Men in Black movie, Smith approached Jive with the "Men in Black" single; they turned him down, saying that it couldn’t be a hit. In the aftermath of the movie and soundtrack’s success, the duo settled the lawsuit out of court. Hence, their Greatest Hits compilation includes two cuts from the M.I.B. soundtrack.

Since then, of course, Smith has released three Columbia/Sony albums under his own name; a separate "solo" hits cd was released in 2003. Jazzy Jeff, meanwhile, recorded an aborted album for Columbia in 1999 (including a song with Eminem), and then independently released The Magnificent in 2002. He has also become an R&B producer of note, overseeing releases by Jill Scott and others.
