Mary J. Blige

Featuring: Common

[Intro: Common]
Even if you don't dance, rock to dis
Let yo pants sag, stand up and bop to dis
Come on mami, relieve stress
You don't need rest
So while the niggas lay cash
You chicks shake ass

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
If you dope and real hot
And you feelin the vibe
Won't you get on the floor
And just dance for me
If you feelin the groove
It ain't nothing for you
To just get on the floor
And just dance for me
And I know you been stressed
This whole week got you messed up
Get on the floor
And just dance for me
Just be here ain't no joke
So stay here till we're closed
Stay up on the floor
And just dance for me

[Verse 1]
Haven't always been rough
But I'm tryna make it easy
For everybody to dance for me
So come one come all come everybody
Me and you all of us bout to really party
And you know that we're gonna put it down
At the tip more drinks we be feelin the sound

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
If you dope and real hot
And you feelin the vibe
Won't you get on the floor
And just dance for me
If you feelin the groove
It ain't nothing for you
To just get on the floor
And just dance for me
And I know you been stressed
This whole week got you messed up
Get on the floor
And just dance for me
Just be here ain't no joke
So stay here till we're closed
Stay up on the floor
And just dance for me
Leave all your struggles and your cares behind
Don't you worry bout a thing not tonight
Don't drink too much
Because we have all night
Don't you rush because it's all night long

If you dope and real hot
And you feelin the vibe
Won't you get on the floor
And just dance for me (dance for me)
If you feelin the groove
It ain't nothing for you
To just get on the floor
And just dance for me (ohh dance for me)
And I know you been stressed
This whole week got you messed up
Get on the floor
And just dance for me
Just be here ain't no joke (dance for me)
So stay here till we're closed
Stay up on the floor
Just dance for me (ohh)

[Verse 2: Common]
While ladies shake they thangs, brothers chains swang
Dancing is a ritual we used to maintain
Whether steppin' or crip walkin'
Over music, shit talkin
Hard times get softened in spots we hit often
Off in a loft, basement party or a strip club
Good times, good wine, gotta skeet to trick dubs
It's up to you, I ain't gon' tell you where your hands should be
Like the ghost of Marvin, come on and dance for me

If you flowin real hot
And you feelin the vibe
Won't you get on the floor
And just dance for me
If you feelin the groove
It ain't nothing for you
To just get on the floor
And just dance for me
And I know you been stressed (dance for me)
This whole week got you messed up (dance for me)
Get on the floor (dance for me)
And just dance for me (dance for me)
Just be here ain't no joke (dance for me)
So stay here till we're closed
And stay up on the floor
And just dance for me

If you dope and real hot (come on, come on)
And you feelin the vibe (come on, come on)
Won't you get on the floor (come on, come on)
And just dance for me (come on, come on)
If you feelin the groove (come on, come on)
It ain't nothing for you
To just get on the floor
And just dance for me
And I know you been stressed
This whole week got you messed up

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
