Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna see you do it
Wanna see you do it
Wanna see you do it
Wanna see you do it

Now that girl got nothing but curves
got all this money bout to throw it on her.
The way she's twitching and switching all on a curv,

can see her booty but thats underneet skirt.

Left right up and down let me see you touch the ground.
Left right up and down let me see you touch the ground.

Left right up and down let me see you touch the ground.
Left right up and down let me see you touch the ground.

The lyrics of "Up & Down" by Shawn Wonder Feat. Akon are straightforward and revolve around a central theme: admiring a woman's curves while also recognizing her dancing skills. The repetition of "Wanna see you do it" creates a sense of urgency and desire, indicating that the singer wants to witness the woman's dancing abilities. The second line establishes the woman's physique, describing her as someone with "nothing but curves." The following line conveys the singer's willingness to spend money on her, perhaps as an attempt to impress her. The fourth line is more explicit, using the word "booty" and emphasizing that it is hidden under her skirt.

In the chorus, the singer instructs the woman to move in various directions, including left, right, up, and down. The phrase "let me see you touch the ground" suggests that the woman is dancing enthusiastically, and the singer is captivated by her movements. While the lyrics may be considered objectifying, they are also an example of how music can celebrate the human form and the pleasures of dancing.
