[Chorus]
Everybody get up!
Singin 1, 2, 3, 4
Five will make you get down now
(Baby bring it on, bring it on now!)
Everybody get up!
Singin 1, 2, 3, 4
Five will make you get down now (get on up)
[Verse 1: Abs Breen]
You gots to keep it real, you gots to keep it raw
I'm lyrically blessed so don't try to ignore
Time for some action creeping up your back and
Keep the beat nasty like Janet my reaction
Hard, I'm addictive, better lock your kids in
Coming to your area, you don't know what you're missing
Go tell your family, here comes the enemy
Blowing up the spot, tech remedy
[Chorus]
Everybody get up!
Singin 1, 2, 3, 4
Five will make you get down now
(Baby bring it on, bring it on now!)
Everybody get up!
Singin 1, 2, 3, 4
Five will make you get down now
(Five will make you get down)
[Break]
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
Keep it moving on
[Verse 2: Jason "J" Brown]
I'll be the resident, President, I'm the fifth element
Jimmy Fly Snuka Stone Cold ham
Better get together, put your hands in the sky
Stick 'em up, punk, it them low, hit them high
Now I'm the bad boy that you invite for dinners
Ain't got no manners 'cause I eat with my fingers
Lost boys terrorize the neighborhood
And hounds of the Baskerville will be up to no good
So come on, come on, everybody keep checking us
Coming with the funk, bring it on wickedness
[Chorus]
Everybody get up singing
1, 2, 3, 4, Five will make you get down now
Everybody get up singing
1, 2, 3, 4, Five will make you get down now
(get on up)
[Verse 3: J and Abs]
Everybody better recognize, we got the funky rhymes
Keep it together, baby, don't even try to organize
We be the roughnecks, no concept, no business
We here to get down and make em grab your biscuits
So everybody, anybody, somebody
Put your hands together, represent like John Gotti
Paragraph after grammar for gas
The party's Armageddon, hit 'em with the heavy class
I'm bugging, hitting with the hooligan bump
I know you wanna stand-up so, baby, jump!
[Chorus]
Everybody get up singing
(Come on, yeah)
Five will make you get down now
I get on down
Everybody get up singing
(Baby, bring it on, bring it on now!)
Five will make you get down now
Everybody get up singing
Five will make you get down now
Everybody get up singing
Five will make you get down now
Everybody get up singing
Five will make you get down now
Five will make you get down
