Shut up and Dance - Timeflies

It was all a dream

I used to read Word Up!

magazine

Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D Up in the limousine

Hangin' pictures on my wall Every

Saturday Rap Attack Mr. Magic, Marley Marl

I let my tape rock 'til my tape pop

Smokin' weed on Bambu Sippin' on Private Stock

Way back When I had the red and black

Lumberjack With the hat to match

Remember Rappin' Duke?

Duh-ha

Duh-ha You never thought That hip hop would take it this far

Now I’m in the limelight 'Cause I rhyme tight

Time to get paid Blow up like the World Trade

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner

Peace to Ron G, Brucey B

Kid Capri Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski, wha

I’m blowin' up like you thought I would

Call the crib, same number, same hood It’s all good

Yeah

And if you don’t know

Now you know

Oh, don’t you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me I said, «You're holdin' back»

She said, «Shut up and dance with me!"This woman is my destiny

She said, «Oooh, oooh, Shut up and dance with me»

In West Philadelphia, born and raised

On the playground Is where I spent most of my days

Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool

And shootin' some B-ball outside the school

When a couple of guys

Who were up to no good

Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one little fight And my mom got scared

She said, «You're movin' With your aunty and uncle to Bel Air»

I whistled for a cab And when it came near

The license plate said, «Fresh"And there was dice in the mirror

If anything, I could say That this cab was rare

But I thought, «Nah, forget it"Yo, home, to Bel Air!

Oh, don’t you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me

I said, «You're holdin' back»

She said, «Shut up and dance with me!»

This woman is my destiny

She said, «Oooh, oooh, Shut up and dance with me»

You better lose yourself In the music

The moment You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot

Do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

You better lose yourself In the music

The moment You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot

Do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

Oh, don’t you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me

I said, «You're holdin' back»

She said, «Shut up and dance with me!»

This woman is my destiny

She said, «Oooh, oooh

Shut up and dance with me»

Oh, don’t you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me

I said, «You're holdin' back»

She said, «Shut up and dance with me!»

This woman is my destiny

She said, «Oooh, oooh,

Shut up and dance with me»
