Yep, back in the day, DJ clubbing /
Late nights all the time, still felt nothing /
Got the attention, yeh girls were stunning /
But if I told you that the scene was sweet, then I'd be bluffing /
Managers and the bouncers always frontin' /
Out to impress, ain't impressive to be munting /
Pick fights, insecure's always stuntin' /
Here to chill with bro's but every bro's bird hunting /
See, I got told that funk was feminine /
Was a little confused, yeah I wasn't gettin' em /
Being told to dance wasn't gonna better them /
So I took it on board and damn right I let it in /
Something was wrong, I knew what was right /
Dreamt up an idea till the sound was mad tight /
I was searching for that funk in my life /
Filing through the records till I found the one to provide /
Yep and I was like /
/ Chorus / Sample /
‘But I knew the answer to why people'.. Never understand /
To land that kind vibe there's a bigger command /
Put the grand old school feel in to the band /
Cause we plan to bring the mad jam back to the stands /
Down with the trends cause you got it all this week /
Wearing the same threads cause we're all so indie /
Asking like “I want some mainstream to sing please." /
And that's why my boy on decks gon spin these /
Yeah we vibing and knowing it comes alive /
When a show is on every night and we go if the place provides em with /
Flow and it's so exciting to grow with a beat thats tight /
And I know that I get all hype but yo it's so damn enlightening and /
Yeah its true, feeling I got from it /
Pretty hard to explain, yep but to be honest /
Gave me the boogie, something I never wanted /
So I pressed play and watched the whole world get on it like /
/ Chorus / Sample /
/ Bridge / Sample /
Contagious on the beat that we spreading n' nobody gon regret it /
I said it, they wanna have a boogie, then we gonna let em /
Have the night that they wanted, so for real they gonna get it, don't sweat it /
If life brings you down, don't let it /
Got the wrong sound, some came to get down /
In the place that we found, so they getting around /
Never in control, only caring bout the back seat /
Always picking up strangers, ‘Taxi' /
So many people work their a** off for a solid day /
Just so they can be trippin, n' I ain't talking holidays /
Hoping that their wallet pays for some kind of purpose /
Look back n' wonder if their whole week was worth it /
Bumpin the scene and it's kind of a scary biz /
Yeah we aim to be preparing kids /
So they can all be blaring this /
So we'll make em' all be saying uh /
/ Chorus / Sample /
