[Chorus: Deion Sanders]
Straight to my feet
When you feel the beat, you gotta move your feet
Straight to my feet
Ohhhh
Straight to my feet
Can you feel the beat, can you feel me
Straight to my feet
When you feel the beat, you gotta move your feet

[Verse 1: MC Hammer]
I'm livin' this funk like bald flat tires
Pumpin' it higher (the roof's on fire)
The homies ain't tired (it's my desire)
To break it off, homes, but you can't deal
'Cause I keep it beat first, and it's all year
Stickin' with the homies not down with the front game
Straight to the point, we pump it up mane
I'm grabbin' me a freak and I'm strippin' my beat, yeah

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: MC Hammer]
You're feelin' this funk (side to side, right)
Then you come inside (we love this ride)
Brothers suplex soldier, I told ya, yo suck it (your party ain't over)
We keep it brown for the town, did you hit the spot on partner's stop
Drop, not lean. (If you know what I mean, I'm to my feet)

[Chorus]

[Interlude]
Alright everbody get ready
We got to take this man to another level
On the level, get your hands in the air
Now we got it down, y'all get ready
And be smooth with it
Alright here we go, 3-2-1 now sing

[Verse 3: MC Hammer]
Now this the type of funk we kick all the time
Grab, could a Hammer get to the prime
Oh man, I get to feelin' it (all night long)
Did I hit it? (That's another story)
I swarm, then the party's on
(The party keeps kickin, kickin)
To the break of dawn (party's on the up say what say what)
We straighten ya out

[Chorus]

Stanley Kirk Burrell (born 30 March 1962), better known by his stage name MC Hammer, is an American rapper, dancer, entrepreneur, spokesman and occasional actor from Oakland, California. He had his greatest commercial success and popularity from the late 1980s until the late 1990s. Remembered for his rapid rise to fame, Hammer is known for his hit records (such as “U Can’t Touch This” and “2 Legit 2 Quit”), flashy dance movements, choreography and his trademark Hammer pants. Hammer’s superstar-status and entertaining showmanship made him a household name and Hip-Hop icon. He has sold more than fifty million records worldwide.

A multi-award winner, MC Hammer is considered a pioneer and innovator of pop rap, and is the first Hip-Hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album. Hammer was later considered a sellout due in part to overexposure as an entertainer, and as a result of being too “commercial” when Rap was “hardcore”, then his image later becoming increasingly “gritty” to once again adapt to the ever-changing landscape of rap. Burrell became a preacher during the late 1990s with a Christian ministry program called MC Hammer and Friends. Additionally, he starred in a Saturday morning cartoon called Hammerman in 1991 and was executive producer of his own reality show called Hammertime which aired during the summer of 2009. Prior to becoming ordained, Hammer signed to Suge Knight’s Death Row Records in 1995.

Throughout his career, Hammer has managed his own recording business. As a result, he has created and produced his own acts including Oaktown’s 3.5.7, Common Unity, Special Generation, Analise, One Cause One Effect, Teabag, Dom Kimberley, Geeman, DRS, Pleasure Ellis, B Angie B, Stooge Playaz, Ho Frat Hoo! and Wee Wee, among others. A part of additional record labels, he has collaborated and has been associated with 2Pac, Teddy Riley, Felton Pilate, Tha Dogg Pound, The Whole 9, Deion Sanders, and Big Daddy Kane, as well as others.
