Oooh (yea yea yea yea)
Oooh (yea yea yea yea)
Check it out
See what I believe is
We was granted the power
What's that? Power, wha
Like this
I heard she's got a 9 to 5 (yea yea yea yea)
But comin' in after 12 (check it out)
I know they're tired of her lies (yea yea yea)
Just let her go, what the deal? (wha wha wha wha)
(wha wha wha)
And now take me for instance babe (uh huh)
See my love will drive her crazy
'Cause I'll be goin' boom like an 808
Be makin' circles like a figure 8
You know it feels good from head to toe
Now hold on to me baby here we go
You'll be goin' boom baby boom baby boom
And I'll be goin' ooh baby ooh baby ooh
(check it out)
I heard she's not all that to you
Cause she can't do it like I do (ha ha ha)
So put that trophy on the shelf (wha wha wha wha)
Go about and find somebody else
Now take me for instance babe
See my love will drive her crazy (wha wha yeah)
'Cause I'll be goin' boom like an 808
Be makin' circles like a figure 8
You know it feels good from head to toe
Now hold on to me baby here we go
You'll be goin' boom baby boom baby boom
And I'll be goin' ooh baby ooh baby ooh
'Cause I'll be goin' boom like an 808
Ain't nobody can bang it like me
Stack it like me, wouldn't like me
Ask Kelly, his original plan
To get as large on the map, by makin' you clap your hands
Damn shoo bizzatch, I'm not gonna lie
I'll pump my amps to this
Cutie pie, honey bunch
If you're not busy take me to lunch
Oh, ya'll done did it now, with the luscious music
World poppin' crews, and what, 8-0 grooves
Is what intended, you to get me up you
You one in a mill, forget the mens
Cause they ride in my pockets baby
And today I just wanna
Jiggle my ball
Bet I knock your socks off
Wit' my what what what (wha wha wha wha)
Yea yea
Boom like an 808
Circles like a figure 8
Feels good from head to toe
To me baby here we go
Boom like an 808
Circles like a figure 8
Feels good from head to toe
To me baby here we go
You'll be goin' boom baby boom baby boom
And I'll be goin' ooh baby ooh baby ooh (check it out)
You'll be goin' boom baby boom baby boom
And I'll be goin' ooh baby ooh baby ooh (check it out)
'Cause I'll be goin' boom like an 808
The song "808" by Blaque feat. JC Chasez is all about the power of music to make people dance. The opening lines suggest that this power was granted to us, and the rest of the song encourages the listener to let go and move their body to the beat. The lyrics also take a bit of a jealous tone, with the singer insinuating that she is better than another woman who has a 9 to 5 job and lies to her man. The singer suggests that her love is so powerful that it will drive this other woman crazy, and goes on to compare herself to an 808 drum machine, which is known for its deep, booming sound.
Throughout the song, there is a lot of repetition and call-and-response between the lead singer and the backing vocalists. This creates a hypnotic effect that encourages the listener to join in and sing along. The lyrics are simple but effective, using a lot of onomatopoeia and sound effects to create a playful, energetic atmosphere. Overall, "808" is a fun, lighthearted song that celebrates the joy of dance music and the way it can bring people together.

To become famous through music that makes people clap along
Damn shoo bizzatch, I'm not gonna lie
Wow, for sure, I'm being honest
I'll pump my amps to this
I'll increase the volume of my music for this
Cutie pie, honey bunch

World poppin' crews, and what, 8-0 grooves
Worldwide popular musical groups, with 808 drum machine beats
Is what intended, you to get me up you
This was meant to motivate and energize you
You one in a mill, forget the mens
You're one of a kind, forget about guys in general
Cause they ride in my pockets baby
Because they depend on me financially
And today I just wanna
I only want one thing today
Jiggle my ball
Move my body in a fun way
Bet I knock your socks off
I'm sure I'll impress you
Wit' my what what what (wha wha wha wha)
With my unique and pleasing sound
Boom like an 808
Making a bass-heavy sound
Circles like a figure 8
Dancing in a circular motion similar to the figure 8
Feels good from head to toe
It's a satisfying experience
To me baby here we go
I'm ready for this, let's start
