"Ga-ga-gangbusters!!"

[Verse 1: Dove]
Hey give it Boogie like the BX, sex regular booger bitches
Get the backseat, G-bumps'll make you buy tapes
Ex-cape the fire tonight, switch like Jekyll and Hyde
And shit, wreckin we live and shit
This swamp water style'll keep em dirty and wet
I bet mills on the rhyme skills, we walk away set
Rich like topsoil, connect coin with currency
Places that I couldn't pronounce, and then bounce
Illegal ain't illegal if it's less than an ounce
Keep it come in T. La Rock amounts, see +It's Yours+
Study scrolls that includes the clause
Get your dirty paws out my bowl, your hustle's too old to deal
With the shuffle, you exhaust me like a muffle
Get zapped and zipped in the duffle
Came to the set splashed, no Roley on the wrist
To Hell with a guest list, we all up in this!
A two dollar somethin got your eyes on him
But yo she pinching my ass so we go, limb for limb
Lights studio dim, it's EXACT tonight
So we can drop the Rap Delight, on one!

[Hook: All]
Just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
"Just get on down.."

[Verse 2: Common]
Underground under pressure, my style is the child
Of a lesser, God, I Master like Farad
Persona in between the El Rook'n, and El DeBarge
Metaphorically massage, verbal hajj
I take over breaks and chop loops
Glorifying, one-eighty hat cats can rock in my troops
Wisdom like a tooth, mock new shits I knock loose
Dating game Thursday's I spot juice, Plug like Posdnuos
Before you get a style, let's get a style
My style pans the crowd back and forth
You were soft as the tracks you rappin off, I pop shit
You tried to laugh it off, actin like you had to cough
And didn't hear it, my spirit sustains in the same pattern
Emcee, familiar sample period; spotting where you sampled
Your rhyme scheme from -- I ain't clearin it
I drop science and experiment -- contractually
Came to terms of endearment with my label
Want to pick out a day to smack wack niggas, I contact niggas
Like P.O.'s, you spit background lyrics, I rip Lee flows
Wiping your nose like you need blows
Claiming it's a allergy, I react allergic to cats
Or is it how they word it
If you had weight it must have been some pussy you served with
Thoughts fermented, I rode rhythms and words tinted
Many lip profess, I'm verb centered

[Hook: All]
Just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
"Just get on down.."

[Verse 3: Pos]
It's like rip y'all, add it on to lip
Wonder Why's upon this, just to flex my strength
I was the one who killed wackness so I had to do a bid
Of twelve years on the mic, before parole with Tommy 'Kid'
Infinite landscaper, green paper maker
Leap far from home with chrome rims and trims
Man these people still taking rappin for a joke
The pimp, I rock it one-double-oh percent
Some of you MC's should be called CM's, Carbon Monoxide
On the mic exposing your polluted bloodtype
Y'all niggas need a visit from the Brain Fairy
Walk around dead, like your physical's buried
Wrote the rhymes durin a earthquake, cause your style's
Shaky as SHIT! Just need to come clean and admit
That yo' quick draw fails the test, and mine was flawless
My DJ gave the scratch, yours was clawless
Your crew couldn't even measure to mine
That's why yo' bitches is busted, and mines is fine
Performing with an upper design, so back on off the plank
We bringin this Big and Bad like Hank

[Hook: All]
Just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
"Just get on down.."
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down
And just dance, you know you gots the feelin
Just dance, ah come on and get down!!!
"Just get on down.."

* cut and scratch of "Just get on down.." to the song's end *

Common

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy and Oscar-winning rapper and actor from Chicago, Illinois. Common’s inspired mix of poetic flow and hip-hop soul has helped him earn his status as one of the most respected rappers in the game.

After being a ball boy for his hometown Chicago Bulls as a teen and attending Florida A&M University for business administration, Common Sense kicked in and he left school to become a rapper. He gained national attention after being featured in the Unsigned Hype column of The Source magazine in 1991. He released his debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar? through Relativity Records in 1992, followed by his breakthrough second album Resurrection in 1994, which features his hip-hop classic single “I Used To Love H.E.R.”

As his career began to take off, he was sued by the music group Common Sense over the name, leading Common to drop the “Sense” and allude to the change in the title of his third album, One Day It’ll All Make Sense (1997). He has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Like Water For Chocolate (2000), which features his J Dilla-produced hit single “The Light”, and Be (2005), which was released under fellow Chicago musician Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint. He also joined musicians Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper to form the group August Greene, and the trio released their self-titled album in 2018.
