Let that sweat drip off my body.

And button down your button-ups.
We done goin' in the club, let's tear that club up.
It gets just so hot in here, cool me down spray some OJ and Velvadir,
Over the rocks while the crowd is rockin'.
Everybody rollin' like my life I wouldn't stop
Let's all toast to the highest and utmost

And everybody with a two step (Ashanti: get up dance),
And all my gangstas that don't dance (Ashanti: lean back).

And any ladies that look cute tonight

Baby the name is rule, R-U-L-E, reppin' I-N-C.

[Chorus]





Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah

To everyone here because of MJ,
You gotta remember Jackson heard the track as the instrumental, it was being offered. IMO this song is 10x's better as the Instrumental. When you remove the vocals you can HEAR what Mike heard in it.. The Intro, The Verse, Bridge all has elements of Off The Wall.. I'm positive thats what caught Mikes attention... Here's what Michael heard, the instrumental https://youtu.be/e2sf08uUWKw
