Step out the Caddy Deville
It's on a base of steel
Them boys checkin us out
Know when we dress to kill
Strut in the club, it's dark
But still got my shades on
I hear the dj mixin Young Bloodz
To tha Whisper Song

We're from the city that made it okay to
To make clubbin' a year-round holiday
So if you feelin right, grab tha Kryptonite
If this yo song tonight, then it's on tonight

Bounce wit it drop wit it
Lean wit it rock wit it

Step on the dance floor
Watch and learn cuz here I go
I throw my hands up
And work my body to the floor

We from the city that make it Okay (A A)
To make clubbin a year-round holiday
So if you feelin right, grab tha Kryptonite

Overall Meaning

The song "Do It" by Cherish and Sean Paul is an upbeat party track that celebrates dancing and having a good time. The lyrics describe stepping out of a Cadillac Deville and going to a club, where the DJ is playing the Whisper Song by Young Bloodz. The chorus encourages listeners to bounce, drop, lean, rock, and snap their fingers to the beat, while the verses highlight the artists' affiliation with Atlanta and their ability to keep the party going all year round. Sean Paul's rap verse adds a touch of dancehall flavor to the song, and the shouted "hay hay hay" refrain adds to the energetic atmosphere.


On a deeper level, the song can be seen as a celebration of African American cultural expression in the form of dance. The artists are proud of their Southern roots and their ability to create and popularize new dance moves, which have become a global phenomenon. They also acknowledge the haters who might try to criticize or imitate their style, but ultimately brush them off and focus on having fun. The song's repetition of the phrase "do it" can be interpreted as a call to action, encouraging listeners to let loose and express themselves through dance.
