Party on party people let me hear some noise

Wave your hands in the air
Shake your derriere
These three words when you're gettin' busy
Whoomp there it is
Hit me

Upside down and inside out
I'm about to show all you folks
What's it's all about
Now it's time for a nigga to get on the mic
And make this mother fucking party hype
I'm taking it back to the old school
'Cause I'm an old fool who's so cool

Slam dunk it stick it flip it and ride
That B double O T Y oh my
Ooh that's it come on come on
Whoomp there it is

Cause I'm pushin' up daises
The underground sound that you have found
Amazing outstanding demanding
Commanding you people dancin'
Shit that's a breath taker

You want to come down to the underground
Old school - here's a shovel can you dig it fool

To the fly shit from the school of old
Hardcore keep the folk lore wreck
