Stand up (ah)
Stand up (yeah)
Stand up (ah)
Stand up (uh)

When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah, ayy DJ, bring that back
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah, ayy DJ, bring that back

How you ain't gon' fuck? Bitch, I'm me
I'm the goddamn reason you in V.I.P
CEO, you don't have to see ID
I'm young, wild, and strapped like Chi-Ali (blaow)
We ain't got nothing to worry 'bout
Whoop ass, let security carry 'em out
Watch out for the medallion, my diamonds are reckless
Feels like a midget is hanging from my necklace
I pulled up with a million trucks
Looking, smelling, feeling like a million bucks
Pass the bottles, the heat is on
We in the huddle all smoking that Cheech & Chong
What's wrong? The club and the moon is full
And I'm looking for a thick young lady to pull
One sure shot way to get 'em outta them pants
Take note to the brand new dance, like this

When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah, ayy DJ, bring that back
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah, ayy DJ, bring that back

Go on with your big ass, lemme see something
Tell ya little friend he can quit mean mugging
I'm lit and I don't care what no one thinks
But where the fuck is the waitress at with my drinks?
My people outside and they can't get in
We gon' rush the back door and break 'em in
The owner already pissed 'cause we sorta late
But our time and our clothes gotta coordinate
Most girls lookin' right, some lookin' a mess
That's why they spilling drinks all over your dress
But Louis Vuitton bras all over your breasts
Got me wanting to put hickies all over your chest
Come on, we gon' party tonight
Y'all use mouth to mouth, bring the party to life
Don't be scared, show another part of your life
The more drinks in your system, the harder the fight

When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah, ayy DJ, bring that back
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah, ayy DJ, bring that back

Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up

Damn right the fire marshal wanna shut us down
Get us out so someone can gun us down
We was two songs away from getting some cut up
Now we one song away from tearing the club up
Move over, Luda got something to say
Do it now 'cause tomorrow ain't promised today
Work with me, let's become one with the beat
And don't worry 'bout me stepping all over your feet

When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah, ayy DJ, bring that back
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
When I move, you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah, ayy DJ, bring that back

Stand up (ah)
