Do you feel this I know you feel this Are you ready? I don't think so Somebody give me my truck So I can ride on the clouds So I can turn up the bass like Somebody pass my guitar So I can look like a star And spend this cash like What'chu gonna do when the crowd goes a-yo? Why you standin' on the wall? Music startin' everywhere So why don't you just move along? I see you lookin' at me Like I'm some kind of freak Get up out of your seat Why don't you do somethin'? I see you lookin' at me Like I got what you need Get up out of your seat Why don't you do somethin'? Now you're all in my grill 'Cause I say what I feel Only rocks on what's real Baby bump bump But I can't do that with you Only here with my crew I can roll if you can Don't be a punk punk What'chu gonna do when the crowd goes a-yo? Why you standin' on the wall? Music startin' everywhere So why don't you just move along? I see you lookin' at me Like I'm some kind of freak Get up out of your seat Why don't you do somethin'? I see you lookin' at me Like I got what you need Get up out of your seat Why don't you do somethin'? I see you lookin' at me Like I'm some kind of freak Get up out of your seat Why don't you do somethin'? Na na na na na na na Uh Na na na na na na na na na I see you lookin' over here Can't you tell I'm havin' fun If you care like I know You would stop Starrin' at us And get your own space And do somethin' I see you lookin' at me Like I'm some kind of freak Get up out of your seat Why don't you do somethin'? I see you lookin' at me Like I got what you need Get up out of your seat Why don't you do somethin'? I see you lookin' at me Like I'm some kind of freak Get up out of your seat Why don't you do somethin'? F*ck Do somethin' Ow Why don't you do somethin'?
