Soulja Boy Lyrics

Yuuu
Adlib sound effect

Soulja Boy Tell 'Em
Introduction by the artist Soulja Boy

Ayy, I got this new dance for y'all called, "The Soulja Boy" (yuuu)
Introducing the dance he created called “The Soulja Boy”

Just gotta punch, then crank back three times from left to right
Explaining the steps of “The Soulja Boy” dance

Ahh, yuuu
Adlib sound effect

Soulja Boy off in this, oh
Announcing his presence and readiness to perform “The Soulja Boy” dance

Watch me crank it, watch me roll
Inviting the audience to watch and enjoy the performance of the dance

Watch me crank dat Soulja Boy
Performing the primary step of “The Soulja Boy” dance

Then super man dat, oh
Performing the additional move after “Crank dat Soulja Boy”

Now watch me, yuuu (crank dat Soulja Boy)
Inviting the audience to watch and follow along on how to do the dance

Now watch
Reiterating the invitation to watch and learn from the performance

Reasserting his presence and closeness to the audience

Then super man dat (oh)
Doing the additional move once more to emphasize its significance

Soulja Boy up in this, oh
Emphasizing again his presence with the repetition of previous line

Watch me lean then watch me rock
Performing additional steps of the dance

Superman dat, oh
Showing the additional move again

Yeah, watch me crank that Robocop
Demonstrating a variation of “The Soulja Boy” dance instead of the original

Super fresh, now watch me jock
Showing off his style and fresh looks before doing another variation of “The Soulja Boy” dance

Jocking on them haters, man
Taunting and showing off while also addressing haters

When I do that Soulja Boy
Explaining how he does “The Soulja Boy” dance with such precision and skill

I lean to the left then crank that thang, now (yuu)
Explaining the physical details of the dance one more time while also making adlib sound effect

I'm jocking on yo' (I'm jocking on yo')
Repeating the taunting line to his haters

And if we get to fightin'
Addressing any potential physical altercation with those who won’t stop talking or challenging him

Then I'm cockin' on yo' (then I'm cockin' on yo')
Being ready to fight back if attacked

You catch me at yo' local party
Being available for entertainment and performance at any local party

Yes, I crank it everyday
Admitting the dedication and passion he has for “The Soulja Boy” dance

Haters gettin' mad 'cause
Acknowledging that there are still people who criticize him and his work

I got me some Bathin' Ape (yuuu)
Celebrating his success and wealth with a brand name drop. Making an adlib sound effect

I'm bouncin' on my toes
Explaining being energetic and ready to perform at all times

Watch me supersoak that oh
Performing another move variation of “The Soulja Boy” dance

I'ma pass it to Arab and he gon' crank it up fo' sho'
Passing the dance and its torch to another performer to maintain and evolve

Haters wanna be me, Soulja Boy, I'm the man
Boasting of his undeniable talent and impact on the music industry

They be lookin' at my neck, sayin' it's the rubberband
Claiming his necklace is unique and invoking the brand named “Rubberband jewelry”

Man (man), watch me do it (watch me do it)
Repeating the invitation to the audience to watch him perform the dance

Dance (dance), let's get to it (let's get to it)
Encouraging the audience to dance along once they’ve mastered the moves

Nope, you can't do it like me, though
Asserting that no one can do “The Soulja Boy” dance like he can

So don't do it like me, fo'
Advising others not to copy but rather try to create their own signature dance moves

I see you tryna do it like me, man that dance was ugly (yuuu)
Calling out those who copy his moves but fail to execute them properly and making an adlib sound effect

I'm too fresh, off in that oh
Describing his coolness and swag while performing “The Soulja Boy” dance

Watch me crank that Roosevelt then super soak that oh (yuu)
Performing another variation of the dance which incorporates name dropping and changing up moves, making an adlib sound effect.

Supersoak that oh
Performing the move as mentioned previously

I'm too fresh, now watch me do it
Asserting his freshness and style as performance continues

Watch me shuffle, watch me yuuu
Performing additional steps and moves with another adlib sound effect

Inviting the audience to join and do the Superman move along with him. Making an adlib sound effect

Repeating and emphasizing the invitation to do the Superman move
