Yeah I see that, feels good around here
Craig David
All my ladies
Big Narstie
It's about to go down
Ladies
That garage sound

This is for my ravers, gettin' faded, faded
This is for my ravers, I know you waited, waited (bounce)
This one's goin' out, to all my people out there
Turn your speakers up, 'cause right now we're goin' in
Bringing you them vibes, ready for the weekend
Don't matter where you are as long as you're here with me

You have never heard about nothin' like this
Better listen up otherwise you're gonna miss
And I ain't even gassin' you
You have never heard about nothin' like this
Better listen up otherwise you're gonna miss
When the bassline drops you know what to do
When the bassline drops you know what to do

(Goin' out to all of my DJ's)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah

All on your (doot) yeah
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin' out to all of my DJ's)

Bass, fill a bad girl like a sandwich
Two bottles of Moe' we still standing
This one's out to the Charlie Brown
I'm lovin' it, lovin' it, old school anthems
Smellin' like cocoa, butter and Versace blue jeans
Ben Sherman top with blue jeans
Goin' in, living my movie
Bentekkers, I'ma steppers
It was art how I dodged that badness
In the corner smoking the maddest, BDL
ASBO Britain, the sound of the streets comin' through your aeriel
(Craig David) Big Narstie, all over your

All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin' out to all of my DJ's)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah

You have never heard about nothin' like this
Better listen up otherwise you're gonna miss
And I ain't even gassin' you
You have never heard about nothin' like this
Better listen up otherwise you're gonna miss
When the bassline drops you know what to do
When the bassline drops you know what to do
(Report to the dance floor)

All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin' out to all of my DJ's)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin' out to all of my DJ's)
