My music makes you want to take a brief break from dancing and take a breath

My rap partner Drag-On is a great writer, so he handles the writing


Treat you like you stole a pack
I am going to treat you like a thief; you better dance and keep up with the beat

You probably weren't a drug dealer, can you at least give me some applause?


Clap twice, I'm that nice
Give me a big round of applause because I'm pretty good at what I do


Y'all funny faggots like Bernie Mac in +Life+
You guys think you're funny but are actually not, like Bernie Mac's character in the movie Life

After we shut down the haters, we will lock the door to keep them out


In the club we get our niggas in
We can get our people in the club easily


We pay off security
We bribe the club security to let our people in


Same niggas that couldn't get in
Our friends who couldn't get into the club are now partying with us


Ya niggas remember me
Our friends that were previously turned away will not forget who got them in


Hey yo, ladies, where you at?
Hey ladies, are you here and ready to have a good time?


Stuck up, don't reply
If you are feeling too proud or unwilling to speak, don't bother responding


Where you at? (Here we go)

You are not prepared for this amazing event


Bounce, bounce, oh, oh, oh
Dance, dance, have a great time


Oh, Swizz Beat
Shouting out to Swizz Beatz for producing this hot track


I keep my chain sipping
I always wear my expensive chain and let everyone admire it


Two-thousand-and-one
This song is being released in 2001


Put fire on ya ass
We are going to light the mood on fire and get everyone moving


We gon' peep that fire on ya ass
We are going to display how hot this song is with our performance


Let's go
It's time to start dancing and having a great time


That's right
Exactly, that's what we want


Play the shit right
Play this music the way it's meant to be played and enjoy the ride
