[Verse 1: will.i.am & Macy Gray]
I like to hear my favorite song on the radio
So I called and requested on the radio
Tell the DJ spin it on the mix show
Make a brother feel like him down at the disco
And we gonna keep it going like crisco
'Cause the DJ grab the record by the fist full
By the crate full, and we grateful
When you hear the stuff of records get a tasteful
Last night the DJ saved my life
'Cause of the collection of the records he played (played)
To the direction of the record we swayed (swayed)
And all night through the session we stayed (stayed)
[Pre-Chorus: will.i.am & Macy Gray]
'Cause you know you got the feeling (all right)
Good god got the feeling (all right)
Touch the ceiling when I'm feelin' (all right now)

Never afraid to be creative on your radio
Spin my jam when I'm cruisin' down the bario
Turn my audio up, create a party, yo
Hey DJ would you play my song?
And get ma rock get ma roll get ma hip-hop on
And I'm dancin' all day all night
Gimme some inside, make me feel outside
[Pre-Chorus: apl.de.ap & Macy Gray]
