Uh, aye, aye, aye
Wooh!

It was all a dream
I used to read word up! Magazine
Salt-n-pepa and heavy d up in the limousine
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Every saturday rap attack
Mr. Magic, marley marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape pop
Smokin' weed on bambu
Sippin' on private stock
Way back
When I had the red and black, lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember rappin' duke?
Duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought
That hip hop would take it this far
Now I'm in the limelight
'Cause I rhyme tight
Time to get paid
Blow up like the world trade
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
Peace to ron g, brucey b, kid capri
Funkmaster flex, lovebug starski, wha
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
Call the crib, same number, same hood
It's all good, yeah
And if you don't know
Now you know

Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said, "you're holdin' back, "
She said, "shut up and dance with me! "
This woman is my destiny
She said, "ooh, ooh
Shut up and dance with me. "

In west philadelphia, born and raised
On the playground
Is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
And shootin' some b-ball outside the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight
And my mom got scared
She said, "you're movin'
With your aunty and uncle to bel air"
I whistled for a cab
And when it came near
The license plate said, "fresh"
And there was dice in the mirror
If anything, I could say
That this cab was rare
But I thought, "nah, forget it"
Yo, home, to bel air!

Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said, "you're holdin' back, "
She said, "shut up and dance with me! "
This woman is my destiny
She said, "ooh, ooh
Shut up and dance with me. "

You better lose yourself
In the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot
Do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself
In the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot
Do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said, "you're holdin' back, "
She said, "shut up and dance with me! "
This woman is my destiny
She said, "ooh, ooh
Shut up and dance with me. "
