Hands Up
George Moss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got time on the clock let it tick-tock
This is something that'll knock you off your two socks
Get it rockin' from the hood to the boondocks
Take it old school breakdance with a boombox
Yeah, it don't matter how you wanna do it
If you got a little spark, we're the lighter fluid
If you're sitting in a chair, we can push through it
If we keep it real funky, raw sewage.
Yeah, you know that, no, do-rei-me-fa-so-la-te-do
Yeah, knock 'em off the box, that's TKO,
If you're ready, on the mark, get set, let's go
Uh!
If you're feelin' alright, then let me see your hands up!
If you're living the life, then let me see your hands up!
If you're shining a light, then let me see your hands up!
'Cause we 'gon rock it tonight
I wanna see your hands up! Hands up, hands up
I wanna see your hands up! Hands up, hands up
So, let me see your hands up! Hands up, hands up
Just wanna see your hands up! Hands up, hands up...
I can tell you wanna rock just a little bit
I must be getting on your nerves 'cuz you're feeling it




First you get 'em with a hook, then you reel 'em in,
That's a stick-up put your hands ...

Thanks man! I really appreciate you being apart of it

@sonicrocks2007

I love this song. There is not a really positive music in this genre, most synth pop category are all about sex and drugs. There needs to be more music like this.

@georgemoss
