This track uses a loop inspired by (if not directly lifted from) the 1971 hit Family Affair by Sly & The Family Stone.
[Intro: will.i.am]
Weekend come for, the weekend come
Weekend come for, the weekend come
Weekend come for, the weekend come
We can't wait for the weekend come
[Verse 1: will.i.am]
I called Tab' on Wednesday night
So we could make plans for Thursday night
He said "We could go hit the peapods"
I was like yeah, that's my favorite spot
Plus I like it there, 'cause I got love on the list
High powered juice, where I don't even get frisked
Walk up in the place and get love from the misses
Pounds from my brothers, 'cause they knowing that this is
The place to be to let it all out
But when the weekend come, the weekend come
(Oh yeah) Y'all could come
So go tell ya momma come and ya papa come
Go to spin the record so we can get dumb
Place packed, capacity maximum
Due to my man Polo Promotion
And I can't wait to go out and hear some
[Chorus: Esthero]
Jumping music, swift DJ's
Smoke machines and laser rays
Look out weekend 'cause, here I come
Because weekends were, were
[Verse 2: apl.de.ap]
Walk in the club at like 10 o'clock
And the spot is hot, blowing up rooftops
Its Thursday night and the night is young
Four day weekend, time to have some fun
DJ's cut it up, drop them joints
Everybody's been waiting to dance and make noise
B-Boys, let me see you break it down
And ladies, let your hips move around
Its the sound of the BEP family
Got a poet named Life and a sister Kimmy (word up)
And the Blood of Abraham (word up)
So let's get ready for the jam
[Chorus: Esthero]
Jumping music, swift DJ's
Smoke machines and laser rays
Look out weekend 'cause, here I come
Because weekends were, were
[Bridge: will.i.am]
It was a Thursday night and the party was bumpin'
And the bass was thumpin' and people was jumpin'
And Taboo's at the front door comin'
Taboo's at the front door coming
And–
And–
And (here he come now)
And... Nah, nah, nah
[Verse 3: Taboo]
Yo, Mr. will.i.am, Mr. will.i.am
When oh when, Mr. will.i.am
Get our boogie on when the weekend come
Check the peapod, 'cause the vibes is strong
Selenas, Philipinas, they come one by one
All lined up, and they ready for fun
Short one's, tall one's, beautiful ones
B-boys, B-girls, ready to what?
[Verse 4: will.i.am]
Breaking and shaking when we doing our -ish
J Rocc from the Beat Junkies ready to mix
'Cause they cuttIng up the wax for everybody
Come on over cuz were having a party
We lighting up the sky with the burning star
Throw your hands in the air, if you know who you are
'Cause we jumpin' around with the Broshigeez
And get blessed by the beat pharmacy
'Cause they hittin' you with
[Chorus: Esthero]
Jumping music, swift DJ's
Smoke machines and laser rays
Look out weekend 'cause, here I come
Because weekends were, were
[Outro: Esthero]
Word up
Word up
Look out weekend 'cause, here I come
Because weekends were, were
