Word Up
side-b Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister
And your mama too
Cause we're about to go downAnd you'll know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air
Like you don't care
Glide by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance
Do your dance
Do your dance quick mama, come on baby tell me what's the word
Word up
Everybody say when you hear they call you
You've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be heard
Now all you sucker. D.J.'s
Who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason
And we know the reason why
You try to put on those airs and act real cool
But you've got to realize
That you're acting like fools
If there's music we can use it
We need to dance
We don't have no timeFor psychological romance
No romance
No romance
No romance for me mama
Come on baby tell me what's the word
The word up
Everybody say when you hear the call you
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be heard
Word up
Everybody say when you hear the call you
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be heard
Word up
Everybody say...
Word up
It's the code word...
The lyrics to "Word Up" by Side-B are a fun and energetic invitation to everyone, particularly the ladies, to come together and have a good time. The song's narrator addresses all the "pretty ladies around the world" and wants to show them something unique and unusual. They encourage the listeners to spread the word to everyone - brothers, sisters, and even their mothers - because something exciting is about to happen and they want everyone to join in.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the power of the code word "Word Up." It's a call to action for everyone to respond and participate. When you hear the call, it's time to get the party started and show your enthusiasm. Regardless of where you say the code word, it guarantees that you'll be heard and recognized.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift focus to "sucker D.J.'s," implying that some DJs may try to act cool and put on airs, but they're ultimately being foolish. The lyrics suggest that the true purpose of music is to make people dance and have a good time, without getting caught up in unnecessary drama or emotional entanglements. The singer dismisses the idea of "psychological romance" and emphasizes the need for pure enjoyment and fun.
The repetition of "Word up" in the chorus reinforces the importance and power of the code word. It's something that unifies and connects everyone who responds to it, spreading the message that it's time to let go, have fun, and embrace the freedom of expression. The song celebrates the joy of dancing, the unity it brings, and the release from psychological complications. Ultimately, it encourages everyone to join in and experience the excitement that comes from participating in a shared cultural moment.
