Lyrics

Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(Here we go) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
The MVP [???] can't take me home

Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(Kidd Kazmeo) I'm in the zone
(Real spectacular zone) I'm in the zone
(Here we go, here we go; Let's go!) Here we go!

More dancin', the winners get it poppin'
I'm a super baller; no stoppin'
I'm doing my thing to shimmer and shake
You dunk in your face and taste defeat

Fresh show, get low; stop grabbin' me
Stop (re)peatin' I'm defying gravity
Do a crossover in your a-cool(?) split
You think it's too slick, now 'hun it's too bad!
Right here, right here I switch it up
You're stumbling dude, I'll post it up
I'm superhuman; what can you do?
I'm showing your fans I'm better than you

Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(Yeah) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(Woo) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(C'mon, you better get on over!) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(Uh) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(Yeah) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(Here we go, here we go, c'mon!) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone

End down better now jump or get it
(Yeah) [???] so y'all can't quit it
(Come on) Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
(I'm in the zone; I'm hot, baby!) Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
(I'm in the zone) Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
(I'm in the zone; Uh!) Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
B-boys gettin' that Z-1 Zone(?)
If you ain't get it you better go home
(For...Show!) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
(For...Show!) Yo! Yo! I'm in the zone
If you ain't get it you better go home
I'm in the zone
