Me Against the Music Remix
Kanye West Lyrics

All my people in the crowd
Addressing Britney and the audience, Kanye urges everyone to get on their feet and dance together

Grab a partner, take it down!
Kanye encourages the crowd to find a partner and join him in dancing to the beat of the music

It's me against the music
Kanye sees the music as a competitor and challenges himself to keep up with the rhythm and beat

It's just me
Kanye is focused on himself and his dance moves, not getting distracted by the other dancers around him

And me
Furthermore, he is in a dancing duel with himself, as he attempts to push his own limits

And no one cares
Kanye is completely immersed in the music and the act of dancing, not worried about anyone else's approval or judgment

It’s whippin’ my hair, it’s pullin’ my waist
Kanye is feeling the physicality of dancing, illustrated by his hair and waist moving along with the beat

To hell with the stares
Kanye is not paying any attention to onlookers or their judgments; he is dancing purely for himself

The sweat is drippin’ all over my face
The physical intensity of dancing and trying to keep up with the fast-paced rhythm has caused Kanye to break a sweat

And no one’s there
Despite being in a crowd full of people, Kanye feels isolated on the dance floor, as if he and the music are the only things that matter in that moment

I’m the only one dancin’ up in this place
Kanye feels as though he is in his own world, completely engrossed in the music and his own dance moves

Tonight I’m here
Despite feeling isolated earlier, Kanye confidently declares his presence and enjoyment of the music and party around him

Feel the beat of the drum, gotta get with that bass
Kanye uses the beat of the drum and the bass to guide his dance moves and immerse himself further in the rhythm

I’m up against the speaker, tryin’ to take on the music
Kanye is so focused on the music that he almost feels like he is battling it, trying to keep up with the intense pace and rhythm

It’s like a competition, me against the beat
Kanye sees himself as directly competing with the music and the rhythm, trying to match its intensity and energy

I wanna get in a zone, I wanna get in a zone (I wanna get in a zone)
Kanye is trying to tune out all distractions and solely focus on the music and its rhythm, almost like reaching a meditative state or 'the zone'

If you really wanna battle, saddle up and get your rhythm
Addressing the audience as well as himself, Kanye encourages everyone to try and match the fast pace and intensity of the music by getting their own rhythm and join in the 'battle'

Tryin’ to hit it, chic-a-taa
These sounds are similar to the Cha-Cha, an upbeat Latin dance, and Kanye uses the electrifying rhythm to motivate himself and others to join in the dance party

In a minute I’m a take a you on, I’m a take a you on (I’m a take a you on)
Kanye is so immersed in the music and dance that he is confident he can match anyone's intensity and energy to the rhythm

All my people on the floor
Kanye leads the charge, encouraging everyone in the crowd to get up and dance on the dance floor

Let me see you dance
He urges the crowd to show off their own unique dance moves and join him in the joyous celebration of the music

Let me see ya
Kanye wants to see the crowd's individuality and creativity shine through their dance moves

All my people wantin’ more
Kanye feels his audience's energy and eagerness to keep the party going

Let me see you dance
He continues to encourage the crowd to show off their own unique dance moves and join him in the joyous celebration of the music

I wanna see ya
Kanye is genuinely excited to see the people enjoying themselves and the music, and wants to continue to lift the energy and spirits of the party

All my people round and round
Kanye wants everyone to join in a circle, creating a sense of community and togetherness as they dance to the same beat

Let me see you dance
He continues to urge the crowd to show off their dance moves and join him in the joyous celebration of the music

I wanna see ya
Kanye is once again excited to see the people enjoying themselves and the music, and wants to continue to lift the energy and spirits of the party

So how would you like a friendly competition?
Kanye challenges the crowd to a friendly dance-off, allowing everyone to show off their skills while bonding over the shared love of music

Let´s take on the song (Let's take on the song, let's take on the song)
Kanye wants everyone to dance as if they are directly competing with the music and its rhythm, matching or even surpassing its energy with their moves

It´s you and me baby, we´re the music
Kanye wants to include everyone in the crowd, making them feel like they are not just listening to the music but also part of it, as if they are creating and shaping the rhythm together as a community

Time to party all night long (All night long, all night long)
Kanye intends to keep the party going all night long, letting the music and the energy of the people carry everyone towards the early hours of the morning

Get on the floor, baby lose control
Kanye wants everyone to lose themselves in the dance, leaving behind all worries and obligations to simply enjoy the moment and the rhythm

Just work your body and let it go (Let it go)
Kanye encourages everyone to let go of any inhibitions or self-consciousness and move their body freely in response to the music

If you wanna party, just grab somebody
Kanye wants everyone to join in the already inclusive and lively party, allowing the rhythm to bring everyone together as a single entity

We can dance all night long
Kanye and Britney together exclaim that they are ready to keep the party alive as long as the music keeps playing

Hey Britney, you say you wanna lose control
Kanye teasingly addresses Britney, encouraging her to fully let go of her worries and join in the excitement and energy of the dance

Come over here I got somethin´ to show ya
Kanye is trying to convince Britney not to hold back and reveals something that may persuade her to join in the dance further

Sexy lady, I´d rather see you bare your soul
Kanye is attracted to Britney's confidence and wants to see her dance purely for herself, not inhibited by anyone else's judgment or scrutiny

If you think you´re so hot, better show me what you´ve got
Kanye is challenging Britney's confidence and dance ability, urging her to show off her moves and join in the already festive spirit

Watch you take it, take it down (Grab a partner, take it down!)
Kanye is excitedly commenting on Britney's dance moves, urging her to continue and inviting the entire crowd to join in and take the energy and rhythm of the music down to the dance floor

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
These sounds simply amplify the energy, excitement, and fervour of the crowd and the dance party as a whole

Ooh ooh ooh!
This line is another way of echoing and amplifying the sheer excitement and energy of the dance and the ongoing party
