Now brothers and sisters
|
There comes a time in your life you've got to get up and get busy
|
Can I get a witness?
|
(Yes, brother, yes!)
|
Now I don't know if you're prepared to embark upon this journey
|
But the time is running out
|
Brother Jazzy, break it down
|
|
|
Liggedy-ladies and gentlemen, hello, and how are you doin all?
|
Now there's a problem that we really have got to solve
|
In our society there's a big mess
|
People are having entirely too much stress
|
Now me and Jeff, yo, we've been workin on
|
A way to ease your everyday burdens of
|
Work and school, because we thought that we should
|
Make a record that makes people feel good
|
This is a remedy, simple and basic
|
You work too hard, come on, face it
|
You gotta treat yourself, you deserve it
|
Dance like a wild person, come on, you earned it
|
Young and old and old and young
|
Relax, come on, cool out, come and get some
|
You gotta let yourself go get loose, it's
|
Cool - dance to the music
|
|
|
TGIF this beat is def
|
Can I get a witness, Jeff? (Yes)
|
Are you ready to start things off yet?
|
Aight bet
|
Clap your hands and dance, come on, let's do this
|
Here is a hip-hop track with a new twist
|
Designed to ignite ya subliminal dance fuse
|
And even if you can't dance, you can't lose!
|
It's for everybody, you included
|
We hooked up a beat and a rhyme and eq'ed it
|
We put it on a tape and took it to wax
|
And then we - yo Jeff, where's my beat at?
|
Oh, there it is, back to the story line
|
The music and rhymin designed to make you have a (good time)
|
At the party, or wherever you hear it pumpin
|
Get up and twist or breakdance or shake somethin
|
Yo man, this groove is all of that!
|
And it's different from anything we've done, in fact
|
I might even go as far as to say
|
This cut shines bright on the darkest day
|
And sometimes you really need some light
|
Like when your teacher or boss ain't actin right
|
This will quench your thirst to chill, it hits the spot
|
Give em a taste, yo Jeff, let the beat rock
|
|
Now Brother Jazzy
|
Please enlighten us with a bassline
|
And for all the people assembled before us
|
Brother Jazzy, scratch
|
|
We're at the top, not the bottom or the middle
|
We're the freshest, the deffest, the best, Jeff, cut it up a little
|
|
(Oh, I get it, you wanna dance!)
|
|
oh the time is now to get up and dance and move
|
And clap and jump and jam and feel the groove
|
I want you wigglin and jigglin and stompin and shakin
|
And showin your approval for the records me and Jeff are makin
|
We got a brand new album out
|
And dancin and shakin and movin is what it's all about
|
We want everybody to get busy
|
You're not down with the rap then get with it
|
This is a new age, history turned a new page
|
They said that we would decay and I say who do they
|
Think they're dealing with, a couple of amateurs?
|
I'm willin to bet to where this jam hits
|
At your job and at your school dance and also on the radio
|
Winter inside the house, summer on the patio
|
Let me get out of here before I lose it
|
But remember the motto, y'all: dance to the music
|
|
Now now
|
Ladies and gentlemen of the congregation
|
We realize you may not be in a position to get up and dance right now
|
So we'd like to ask of you, if you're in your car, honk your horn
|
Honk your horn to the rhythm
|
We'd like to ask, if you're behind the desk at your job
|
We'd like you to tap your pen and pencil to the rhythm
|
If you're walkin down the street
|
You can be a little discreet
|
And snap your fingers to the beat
|
But if you are in a position
|
To get up and dance
|
We'd like to ask you to wiggle and jiggle and everything you got
|
And get involved with it
