Stop!
Beats and Styles Lyrics

Rankin' come forward
Calling on Ranking to step up and take the lead in this song

Full stop, say ranking full stop
Emphasizing the name of the lead vocalist in the song, Ranking Full Stop, and calling for his full attention

My name is ranking full stop
The lead vocalist confirms his name to the listener

So all you really got to do is just-a move you little feet
The song aims to get people dancing and enjoying themselves

And just-a rock-a to the beat, as I would say, yeah, alright
The lead vocalist encourages the audience to follow the rhythm of the song and enjoy the music

And when you hear the signal you must stop, I said rock
The song includes a call-and-response element, where the audience must stop and then continue dancing when signaled

I said you rock it and you shock it, and you, ooh, say so, oh lord
The lead vocalist encourages the audience to really get into the music and express themselves through dancing

Now hold on down there, take it easy, yeah, alright
The lead vocalist pauses the song briefly to speak to the audience and encourage them to enjoy the music without being too reckless

Said are you ready, said are you ready to stop
Repeating the call-and-response element of the song and getting the audience ready to pause and resume dancing when signaled

Full stop, me, stop, full stop
Another repetition of the song's central theme of stopping and starting again through dance

(Ranking full stop) now that's the name I would really, really say
Reiterating the name of the lead vocalist and emphasizing his importance in the song

You move your little feet, you rock-a to the beat
The song calls on the audience to follow the music and dance with enthusiasm

You hear this song and you gotta come around
The song aims to draw people in and get them involved in the music and dance

I see you upon the street, you look so sweet
The lead vocalist imagines the audience out on the street dancing and enjoying themselves

I see you with your dancin' feet, yeah
The lead vocalist continues to imagine the audience dancing and enjoying the music

Your dancing took it over you know
The lead vocalist comments on the contagiousness of the audience's dancing and how it has taken over the atmosphere of the song

I say you come from dover you know
The lead vocalist references the audience's origins, specifically Dover, which may be a place known for lively dancing or music

And I would really, really tell ya and show you all
The lead vocalist is eager to share his love of music and dance with the audience

To do the ranking full stop
The song repeats its central theme of dancing, pausing, and then resuming again

I said you move to your left and then you move to you right
The lead vocalist instructs the audience on specific dance moves to perform during the song

Tell you 'bout this song and you got to unite
The song aims to bring people together in the joy of dancing and enjoying music as a shared experience

And then you do it 'till midnight you know
The song encourages the audience to continue dancing and enjoying themselves until the late hours of the night

All singing are you ready, said are you ready to stop
The song repeats its call-and-response element, signaling to the audience to pause and resume dancing

I'm dead
