[Verse 1: Jadakiss]
Hey, yo, you can hit the dance floor now, you ain't gotta wait
We can take this outside, you ain't gotta hate
This here is a family affair, the family is here
Everybody put your hands in the air
We don't need no haten or rachen
Somebody better calm duke down cause the eight'll lace him
While your waitin get it perculatin
Love to smoke previlly purple hazen
Sharp as a buck fifty
Doing my dance, and honey mad cause she can't keep up with me
But still banging em, sogging em, still robbing em
And the whole world knows Kiss is a problem
But I ain't come to fight, I came to have fun tonight
And hit more then one tonight
Get crunk from begenning to end
Mary J and Jada, Y, O, we did it again, ugh

[Verse 4: Fabolous]
Y'all can't deny it, uh, yeah, this is cracklatin
Yeah, it's Mary and the kid
Bouncing in the six four until we crack the things
After a few shots I'm faded
Family affair, y'all don't where the spot is located if your not related
And they got to hate it
Ha switch from a ring to chapar to a Rolex
I watch them grin it
This year there is no more drama
Mainly because now my saving account show more commas
Usally it's mello rappers
In the club pulling models and pulling bottles out them yellow wrappers
Staying (?) to those hammers
And be standing on the couch like my moms ain't teach me no manners
Ma don't come back to our features is tanner
And theirs accents on each of our grammars
Your with the young F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S family

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Let's get it crunk up on (Let's get it crunked up on)
Have fun up on up in this dancery (In this dancery)
We got ya open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me (So you gotta dance for me)
Don't need no hateration (Dance for me)
Holleration in this dancery (Dance for me)
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waiting (Let's get it, let's get it, let's get it)
So just dance for me
Let's get it crunk up on (Dance for me)
Have fun up on up in this dancery (Let's get crunk up on)
We got ya open, now ya floatin' (All I want y'all to do)
So you gots to dance for me (Is just dance, just dance)
Don't need no hateration (C'mon, c'mon)
Holleration in this dancery (C'mon, c'mon)
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waiting
So just dance for me
Let's get it crunk up on
Have fun up on up in this dancery (Oh, yeah)
We got ya open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me (You gotta dance for me)
Don't need no hateration (Just dance for me)
