[Intro: Keith Murray]
It's gonna be a party y'all
Keith Murray rock vibes, verse you with Universal
Where no one come, combine with R. Kelly and prove it can be done
Non stoppin' Def Squad and Rockland
I hear somebody knockin', yo R the party's startin'
Yo, yo who's dat?

[Verse 1: R. Kelly & (Keith Murray)]
Step into the crib with me tonight (What's up baby)
Kelly's in the mood to make it right
Word is gettin' all over town
The party's over here and gettin' down, yeah

[Chorus: R. Kelly]
Hands in the air, drinks everywhere
Party in the hills, keepin' it real
Parents out of town, ladies all around
Me and the crew doin' what we do

[Verse 2: R. Kelly & (Keith Murray)]
Yeah, beat is bangin' up and down your spine
And all the single women here are fine
(It's a beautiful thing, it's a beautiful thing)
Let your body give into your soul
Release the freak in you and lose control

[Pre-Chorus: R. Kelly]
Girl, there's a party goin' on
My temperature's warm
So let me freak you through the floor
While the bass is bumpin'
All night if your body can handle

[Chorus: R. Kelly]
Hands in the air, drinks everywhere
Party in the hills, keepin' it real
Parents out of town, ladies all around
Me and the crew doin' what we do

[Verse 3: Keith Murray]
Chillin' at the house on the hill
You gotta say my my my like Johnny Gill
Hey, rich girl, poor girl get the same respect
You can all drink for free and call Earl collect
At the moment of truth with burden of proof
We stack so you can spread love like I chose
The lyrical genius with the R&B messiah
And the roof, the roof we sets on fire
But as long as the party is jumpin', we ain't concerned
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
And everybody who was somebody was there
With they hands in the air bringing in the new year
Yeah, ayo, come on

[Bridge: R. Kelly]
Baguettes on the wrist, it's just for shine
'Cause ain't nobody checkin' out the time
Cash and clothes for days to blow your mind
Baby, it's all good so dance tonight

[Pre-Chorus: R. Kelly]
Girl, there's a party goin' on
My temperature's warm
So let me freak you through the floor
While the bass is bumpin'
All night if your body can handle
All we want is a party
A reason to celebrate
Now that we got the money, oh yeah
We dance the night away
Nothing but the hands up

[Chorus: R. Kelly]
Hands in the air, drinks everywhere
Party in the hills, keepin' it real
Parents out of town, ladies all around
Me and the crew doin' what we do
Hands in the air, drinks everywhere
Party in the hills, keepin' it real
Parents out of town, ladies all around
Me and the crew doin' what we do
Hands in the air, drinks everywhere
Party in the hills, keepin' it real
Parents out of town, ladies all around
Me and the crew doin' what we do
Hands in the air, drinks everywhere
Party in the hills, keepin' it real
Parents out of town, ladies all around
Me and the crew doin' what we do

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
