Switch
Will Smith Lyrics

Alright ready
Will Smith is geared up and ready to perform

Come on man, this is what I do
As an established rapper, Will Smith's primary focus is making music

Yo mic check, mic check, yeah here you go
Will Smith is checking his microphone and ready to give his performance

Nah, he over here
Will Smith directs someone to another location from where he is standing

Yeah, I heard he got that hot new thing
Will Smith is aware of a new and popular song

It's called "Switch" (switch)
The new song Will Smith is referring to is called 'Switch'

Let's get it going
Will Smith shows his eagerness to start performing 'Switch'

Hey switch, turn it over and hit it
The phrase 'switch' signifies the change in functionality needed to perform the song

Turn around, now switch Turn it over and hit it
The song has a physical dance move associated with it, which needs to be performed by turning around and hitting it

Hey, vibe to vibe a second, it's a club girl why you arrived naked
Will Smith observes a girl who has come to the club wearing minimal clothing

Hear that, how the veteran glide the record
Will Smith admires how the experienced DJ spins the record

But don't download, go out and buy the record
Instead of illegally downloading the song, Will Smith appeals to people to buy the record

Hey, something sexy bout her Girl on the floor, all her friends around her
Will Smith acknowledges that there is something attractive about the girl and how she is enjoying herself with friends

I mean real clean, ain't gotta touch or nothing
Will Smith thinks the girl is moving to the music without needing any sexual or physical attention

It ain't like I like a chick on chick or something
Will Smith clarifies that he's not into female-female relationships

I'm just a sucker for a hot track Gimme a drink and a chick to tell 'Stop that'
Will Smith enjoys dancing to good music and having drinks with a girl he likes

Dance is a hop and a clap, flip it round Now bring it on back, break it down Now switch
Will Smith describes the dance move associated with his song 'Switch' where the person hops, claps, and flips around before going back and breaking it down

I gotta question, I need to ask somebody Why is it that when y'all see me at the party Y'all be looking like, "Ooh, he a movie star He ain't supposed to be out on the floor with everybody"
Will Smith is perplexed why people give him special treatment assuming he shouldn't be mingling with 'everybody' on the club floor due to his celebrity status

But oh wait, whoa, y'all forgetting When I was, amateur spitting before the scripts were written First one in, last one out the club Bursting in, passing out in the club
Will Smith reminds people of his early days as an aspiring rapper, coming to the club early, performing for hours and being the last to leave

Back at it, this cat is the wit and the charm Taking you higher, like a syringe hittin' ya arm Bringing the fire, making your Benz ring the alarm
Will Smith is confident in his rapping ability, capable of bringing in wit, charm, and energy to entertain the crowd

Let me see you clap, spin baby, come on Switch
Will Smith encourages the audience to dance and spin during the chorus of 'Switch'

Oh, you just gonna stand there, huh What you too cute to dance, or you scared It ain't really that hard to do and I ain't trying to be in love with you and
Will Smith teases a girl who isn't dancing and wonders if she is scared or thinks she's 'too cute' to join in the fun. He clarifies that he isn't asking her to be his lover

All I wanted was a moment or two to See if you could do that switch-a-roo and Shut your mouth fool, get your crew and The thick body and the rear one too and
Will Smith asks the girl to dance with him just for a few moments to see if she could perform the 'switch-a-roo'. He tells her to stop talking and bring her friends with similar body types

I'll be right here waiting on you to See if y'all can do that switch-a-roo Hey, hey
Will Smith indicates that he will be waiting for her to return after having tested her ability to perform the dance move

That's what I'm talking bout, do that thing mama
Will Smith approves of the girl's dancing

That's what I'm talking bout, switch
The end of the song repeats the chorus, encouraging people to dance and 'switch'
