I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock right now, now, now, rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock, right, now
I wanna da, I wanna dance in the lightsI wanna ro, I wanna rock your body
I wanna go, I wanna go for a ride
Hop in the music and rock your body right
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body (rock your body)
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body (rock your body)
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body
Let me see your body rock
Shaking it from the bottom and top
Freak to what the DJ drop
We be the ones to make it hot (to make it hot)
Electric shock, energy like a billion watts
Space be boomin', the speakers pop
Galactic combin' missed a spot
We bumpin' in your parking lot
When you're comin' up in the spot
Don't bring nothin' we call pink dot
'Cause we burnin' around the clock
Hit the lights and then turn them off
If you bring that don't make you stop
Like the jungle we run the block
No one rollin' the way we rock, way we rock
I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock, right, now
I wanna da, I wanna dance in the lights
I wanna ro, I wanna rock your body
I wanna go, I wanna go for a ride
Hop in the music and rock your body right
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body (rock that body)
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body (rock your body)
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body
