Chorus:
Everybody get up singing
1, 2, 3, 4, Five will make you get down now
1, 2, 3, 4, Five will make you get down now
You gots to keep it real
You gots to keep it raw
I'm lyrically blessed
So don't try to ignore
Time for some action
Creeping up your back and
Keep the beat nasty
Like Janet my reaction
Hard I'm addictive
Better lock your kids in
Coming to you area
Ya don't know what you're missing
Go tell your family
Here comes the enemy
Blowing up the spot tech remedy

[Chorus]
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on

I'll be the resident, president
I'm the 5th element
Jimmy fly snooka stone
Cold is how I'm
Hittin' em' better get together
Put your hands in the sky
Stick em up punk
Hit em low, hit em high
Now I'm the bad boy
That you invite for dinners
Ain't got no manners
'Cause I eat with my fingers
Lost boys terrorise the neighbourhood
And hounds of the Baskerville will be up to no good
So come on, come on
Everybody keep checking us
Coming with the funk
Bring it on wickedness

[Chorus]

Everybody better recognize
We got the funky rhymes
Keep it together, baby
Don't even try to organize
We be the roughnecks
No concept, no business
We here to get down
And make em grab your biscuits
So everybody, anybody, somebody
Put your hands together
Represent like John Gottë
Paragraph after grammar for gas
The party's Armageddon
Hit em with the heavy class
I'm bugging
Hitting with the hooligan bamn
I know I want to stand-up
So baby jump!
Everybody get up singing
Five will make you get down now

[Chorus: x2]

Five will make you get down

Overall Meaning

In "Everybody Get Down," V.A. manifests a strong energy that invites listeners to participate in a high-energy, engaging experience centered around music and movement. The chorus emphasizes collective action, calling everyone together to sing and dance, highlighting the infectious nature of the groove. The repeated mantra of "1, 2, 3, 4, Five will make you get down now" reinforces the idea that this is not just music to listen to but a catalyst for communal enjoyment and celebration. The lyrics suggest a sense of urgency and vitality; the music demands a physical response, effectively positioning it as an irresistible force that unites individuals through rhythm and sound.


The verses build upon the theme of authenticity and rawness in musical expression. The lines "You gots to keep it real / You gots to keep it raw" convey a message about staying true to oneself, emphasizing the credibility of the artist. The phrase “I’m lyrically blessed” indicates a confidence in the artist’s lyrical prowess, suggesting that their proficiency should not be overlooked. The inclusion of pop culture references, like “Keep the beat nasty / Like Janet my reaction,” cleverly evokes nods to celebrated artists who represent a certain boldness, reinforcing the notion that the music is both a celebration of talent and an invitation to lose oneself in its exuberance. Here, the lyrics suggest that music is not just passive listening; it demands an active, immersive experience.


The artist’s confidence escalates further with declarations of their role and presence in the music scene, likening themselves to a "resident president" and the "5th element," which hints at being an integral part of a necessary force. It reflects an overarching theme of empowerment, as the artist positions themselves as a leader who encourages listeners to join in the fun and not take themselves too seriously. Lines like “Put your hands in the sky / Stick 'em up punk” create a playful interaction between the musicians and the audience, further emphasizing a sense of togetherness and energy. The imagery of putting hands up can also symbolize a release of inhibitions, allowing the crowd to participate fully in the ambiance and connection; this encourages self-expression through dance and movement, pushing the night’s atmosphere toward a liberating climax.


The final verses encapsulate an unrestrained attitude toward living in the moment, marked by phrases like “Keep it together, baby / Don’t even try to organize.” It rejects orderliness in favor of a more chaotic, lively atmosphere – the hallmark of a successful party. The artist directly engages with the audience, calling for collective actions that emphasize community: “Everybody, anybody, somebody / Put your hands together.” This alludes to an inclusive invitation while also suggesting that the party is essential, with implications of rebellion against mundane routines ("the party’s Armageddon"). The term “lose yourselves” in relation to the dance vibe captures the essence of the track: that through music, collective joy, and a sense of togetherness, one can find solace and freedom. Ultimately, "Everybody Get Down" becomes an anthem for those seeking to step outside of their daily lives and immerse themselves in the liberating spirit of music and community.

What a great marketing strategy! First for all to be "who are they?", second to show how they are not just pretty young faces but also have pretty good harmony, third to be provocative to the girls (we do love bad boys) and to appeal guys to listen to their songs, forth to make a catchy that all will know the verse, 5th to make up fall in love with them for the rest of our lives!!

I'm 35yrs old, and my twin daughters are 15yrs old. I got them started on the BSB when they were young, so they'd know what GOOD music is! I LOVE that I share that with them! We have so much FUN singing and jamming to them in the car on the way to school! BSB will ALWAYS be my favorite boy band of all time! To see them in concert would be a dream come true😊🫶
