Back with the pace. My jam is live and I'm best and don't waste time Off the mic with dope ryhme. Jump to the rhythm, jump jump. And I'm here to combine Beats and lyrics to make you shake your pants. Take a chance. Come on and dance. Guys, grab a girl. Won't wait, make the twirl. It's your world and I'm just a squirrel Tryin' to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor So your butts up, hands, in the air, come on say, Yeah. Ev'rybody over here, Ev'rybody over there, The crowd is live enough for this fool. Party people in the house move next in line Groove. Work me all night. Come on let's sweat, baby. Let the music take control Let the rhythm move you. Sweat, sweat. Let the music take control Let the rhythm move you. Ev'rybody dance now!

It's gonna make you sweat till you bleed. Is that dope enough indeed. I paid the price to control the dice. I'm more precise to the point I'm nice. Let the music take control of your heart and soul Unfold, your body is free and behold. Dance till you can't dance, till you can't dance no more. Get off the floor and get a blow. Then come back and upside down, Easy now let me see you move. Next in line groove, work me all night. The music is my life. Ev'ry body dance now! Ev'ry body dance now! Ev'ry body dance now! Ev'rybody, come on let's sweat, baby. Let the music take control Let the rhythm move you. Sweat, sweat. Let the music take control Let the rhythm move you.
