[Chorus]
C'mon y'all let's all get down, lift your feet up off the ground, wave your hands and make a sound (sound)
C'mon y'all let's all get down, lift your feet up off the ground, wave your hands and make a sound (sound)
C'mon y'all let's all get down, lift your feet up off the ground, wave your hands and make a sound (sound)
C'mon y'all let's all get down, lift your feet up off the ground, wave your hands and make a sound (sound)
[Verse 1]
Starts off with just a beat
I take those kick snares and those high hats and I
Take flight, stage fright, every day of my life I feel my
Heart beat; bustin' out of my chest
As I pray that I do my best
Got that key, unlockin' my quest
When the lights are down and that stage is set
I pool my worth, I pay my debts
I work them all to get my major threat
Now they all pay respect, yeah
I ain't dream about bein' a man
Everyone thought that I would be in demand
High school they wouldn't let me in the band
Somebody believe you can
That'll put that swagger in your walk
That gleam up in your eye
That wind beneath your wings
That vision in the sky
All it took was a beat and a tape and a pad and a pen
A street in the breaks and it nagged you within
The heat and the strange of a mask here with friends
And the innate desire to win
This is my chance
[Verse 2]
I put my life on the lines
When I be writin' these rhymes
It's like I'm out of my mind
And the divine so divine
'Cause I don't know where it's from
Don't know what I have become
The rose that grows in the sun
That made it over the hump
And I ain't finished yet
Found a couple of greatest, tried to brush 'em away
But those suckers stayed, it's okay
'Cause now I'm proud of my age
So I'm gonna fuss about extinct rhinos
When the police shot down my bro
You're swimmin' in denial
'Cause you know, and I know
That ain't nothin' handed
I could easily be cuffed and bandaged
While my people are famished and damaged and I don't take this for granted
'Cause when the lights are down and the stage is set
I pool my worth, I pay my debts
I work them all to get my major threat
Now they all pay respect, yeah
This ain't no time for gettin' around
You can get on stage, you can sit in the crowd
This is O.J.T., tryin' to figure it out
But everybody listenin' now
This is my chance
[Chorus]
C'mon y'all let's all get down, lift your feet up off the ground, wave your hands and make a sound (sound)
C'mon y'all let's all get down, lift your feet up off the ground, wave your hands and make a sound (sound)
C'mon y'all let's all get down, lift your feet up off the ground, wave your hands and make a sound (sound)
C'mon y'all let's all get down, lift your feet up off the ground, wave your hands and make a sound (sound)
