Let the Rhythm Take Control
Activate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you, do you wanna, get up to the music
Do you really wanna, let the rhythm take control,
Let the rhythm take control
Let the rhythm take control

OK, alright, it's party time,
Pump up the volume kicking the rhyme
Let my turntables run - now here we go
People in the house, are you ready for show?
Go with the tempo - faster and faster
I cross the fader - right here with the master
Up with the power - free your soul
Come together, no more control!
Five, four, three, two, one
Everybody in the club get up & get down
Rave your hands up in the air
People on the floor sing oh yeah!
Then the feeling is up all through the night
Let you body go and do it right
Start humping and jumping all around
And get to the music - and get my sound

Do you, do you wanna, get up to the music
Do you really wanna, let the rhythm take control,
Let the rhythm take control
Let the rhythm take control

I'm back again with the mic in my hand,
And I rap my song and I shake your hands
This stuff is made for you and me
Oh party people, can it be,
Can it be the beat explodes,
I mix the mix and the turntable smokes.
All the ladies get up with the Dance Hall style,
And the guys humpin', jumpin' and getting wild!
Now open your mind and what you gonna do
Till the sun comes up and the sky is blue
This party ain't over - you enjoyed the time,
But now is for now and it's a party time.
Here we go again - yeah once again,
Pump up the party - pump up the jam!
United people here all over the world!
United people here all over the world!

Do you, do you wanna, get up to the music
Do you really wanna, let the rhythm take control,
Let the rhythm take control
Let the rhythm take control
