Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kick it, kick it

You woke up late for school, man you don't wanna go
You ask your mom please but she still says no
You missed two classes with no homework
Your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk, yeah

So we gotta fight for the right to party, yeah dig it
Now we gotta fight for the right to party

Over here, yeah, ow, ow, ow
Bring it down, bring it down, yeah, come on, dig it
We gotta special guest here tonight, one time only
Bling Bling is in the house

Well, your mom caught you smokin', man you said no way
Man that hypocrite she smokes two packs a day
Well, livin' at home is such a drag
My old lady threw away my best porno mag, busted

You gotta fight for the right to party, wooh, party
Yeah, now we gotta party, ow, hey, hey, hey, party

Yeah, let's go




Yeah, yeah, hey, hey, yeah, wooh
Yeah, just like that, what I'm talkin' about, busted

This cover was a huge club hit here in Norway back in 1998 and the radio DJ's would play it in their mix sets all the time. Such awesome memories! :)

@GiGZA

In our My town club of the country Kazakhstan Almaty city it was mixed with RunDMC Its like that. It was over some for that time

@dahooliii

@@GiGZA Oh yes this RunDMC sound was very popular in 1997/1998 in the European Countries. A lot of songs had a base and sound like this in that time. Great songs for making party.
