Shut Up And Dance

Uh, aye, aye, aye

Wooh!

It was all a dream

I used to read word up! Magazine

Salt-n-pepa and heavy d up in the limousine

Hangin’ pictures on my wall

Every saturday rap attack

Mr. Magic, marley marl

I let my tape rock ‘til my tape pop

Smokin’ weed on bambu

Sippin’ on private stock

Way back

When I had the red and black, lumberjack

With the hat to match

Remember rappin’ duke?

Duh-ha, duh-ha

You never thought

That hip hop would take it this far

Now I’m in the limelight

‘Cause I rhyme tight

Time to get paid

Blow up like the world trade

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner

Peace to ron g, brucey b, kid capri

Funkmaster flex, lovebug starski, wha

I’m blowin’ up like you thought I would

Call the crib, same number, same hood

It’s all good, yeah

And if you don’t know

Now you know

Oh, don’t you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me

I said, “you’re holdin’ back,”

She said, “shut up and dance with me!”

This woman is my destiny

She said, “oooh, oooh,

Shut up and dance with me.”

In west philadelphia, born and raised

On the playground

Is where I spent most of my days

Chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool

And shootin’ some b-ball outside the school

When a couple of guys

Who were up to no good

Started makin’ trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one little fight

And my mom got scared

She said, “you’re movin’

With your aunty and uncle to bel air”

I whistled for a cab

And when it came near

The license plate said, “fresh”

And there was dice in the mirror

If anything, I could say

That this cab was rare

But I thought, “nah, forget it”

Yo, home, to bel air!

Oh, don’t you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me

I said, “you’re holdin’ back,”

She said, “shut up and dance with me!”

This woman is my destiny

She said, “oooh, oooh,

Shut up and dance with me.”

You better lose yourself

In the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot

Do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

You better lose yourself

In the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot

Do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

Oh, don’t you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me

I said, “you’re holdin’ back,”

She said, “shut up and dance with me!”

This woman is my destiny

She said, “oooh, oooh,

Shut up and dance with me.”

Shut up it’s tft…
