Lyrics Will Smith – One Jump Ahead
Text:
ALADDIN:
Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
And that’s everything!
One jump ahead of the lawmen
That’s all, and that’s no joke
These guys don’t appreciate I’m broke
GUARDS:
Riffraff!
Street rat!
Scoundrel!
ALADDIN:
Take that!
Try a different tact, guys
GUARDS:
Rip him open
‘Round the back, guys
ALADDIN:
I can take a hint
Gotta face the facts
Could really use a friend or two
SCHOOL GIRLS:
Huh?
Oh, it’s sad, Aladdin’s hit the bottom
He’s become a one-man rise in crime
TEACHER:
I’d blame parents except he hasn’t got ’em
ALADDIN:
Tell you all about it when I got the time
One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I’ll take a stroll around the block
GUARD:
Stop, thief!
MERCHANT:
Vandal!
ALADDIN:
Abu!
MERCHANT:
Scandal!
ALADDIN:
Let’s not be too hasty
WOMAN:
Still I think he’s rather tasty
ALADDIN:
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we’d get along
GUARDS:
Wrong!
ALADDIN:
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
One hop ahead of the hump
One trick ahead of disaster
They’re quick, but I’m much faster
Here goes
Better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landing
All I gotta do is jump!
