Ooh, say what, say what, say what
Ooh, girl u know what's up

Me and my niggas be rollin'
Schemin' on u and your homies
The very first day of summer
Hit the park and parlay
Hopin' that u walk this way
Do u and your girls wanna ride
Play all day and puff on the la
(chorus)
I'm diggin' u and I'm feelin' u
U know what's up
Said I'm diggin' u I'm wantin' u
So tell me what's up
(verse two)
Peep her thighs aand I'm zonin'
Right around two in the mornin'
Looking fly with a sundress on
Think I feel a bone comin' on
Girl u got me wide open
Waitin' all day and I'm hopin'
Baby don't front
Back see Jeep, u know what I want
(chorus)
The song “U Know What’s Up” by Donell Jones was a hit in 1999, being first released as a single and later featured on his second album “Where I Wanna Be”. The song has a playful and flirtatious tone, with the lyrics detailing a summer fling between the singer and a woman he is interested in.
The first verse finds Donell and his friends cruising around in a Hummer, looking for girls to hang out with. They find some and invite them to ride and party with them. In the chorus, he acknowledges that the woman he is interested in knows what’s up between them. In the second verse, Donell is feeling the woman’s vibe, especially as he checks out her thighs. He’s hoping to get closer to her and drive off in her Jeep.
In the song, Donell takes on the characteristic R&B singers of the time, creating a smooth and sensual vibe with his voice. The song also features a sample of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s “The Message”, adding to its musical appeal.

I think there is nothing funnier in the world than when a ballerina learning how to dance hip hop, trust me, from personal experience :)

She isn’t a ballet dancer in real life though. A real ballet dancer would have been much better than her.

I love how Julia acts with her whole body. Even while doing the "hip hop" moves she still moves like someone with years of classical ballet experience. Such a subtle point
