Lyrics
Let's get it on don't stop us now When we step on the scene we came to get down Check the moves you know they can't be dissed Ain't 2 many that can flow like this We hummin' commin' at ya! And the rhythm is gonna get ya! Need I, should I say no more Tell me what's the deal? Yo check my flow!!! *Jam Jam Jam D.D.R. Yo, Everybody feel the beat with D.D.R. Jam Jam Jam D.D.R. Everybody dance let's get down Could it be that you wanna be more like me No shame, I bring pain in the year 2 G's. Now we gonna turn this party out Put your hands in the air move 'em all around Can you feel the best down in your soul Don't fight the feeling just let it go 4, 3, 2, 1 let's count it down Wanna see you move we you hear that sound *Repeat B4U.....
