Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're lively up yourself and don't be no drag
You lively up yourself, oh, reggae is another bag
You're lively up yourself and don't say "no"
You're lively up yourself 'cause I said so
[Verse 2]
Do what you gon' do
You rock so, you rock so
Like you never did before
You dip so, you dip so
Dip down through my door
You skank so, you skank so
Oh yeah
You come so, you come so
Come alive today
[Verse 3]
You're lively up yourself and don't be no drag
Lively up yourself, big daddy said so, y'all
Lively up yourself 'cause if you don't do
Ain't nobody don't do it for you
You're gonna lively up yourself, well, well, well
Well, well, well, well, well, well
What you got, that I don't know?
[Verse 4]
I'ma tryin' to wonder
Wonder why you
Wonder, wonder, wonder
You lively up yourself
And don't be no drag, no no
Lively up yourself, oh, reggae is another bag
You lively up yourself
Lively up yourself
[Verse 5]
I wonder, wonder, wonder what do you say now
What did you say now?
What did you, what did you, what did you say?
What, what, what, what, what, what, what, yeah
Oh
[Verse 6]
You rock so, you rock so
No, no, no, no, don't let me rock tonight, baby
You dip so, you dip so
I don't wanna dip, I don't wanna, I don't wanna dip
You skank so, you skank so
Which I don't know
I know, well, well, well, well
You come so, you come so
[Verse 7]
You gotta lively up yourself
Well, 'cause if you don't ain't nobody gonna do it for you
You lively up yourself
Oh brother man, you just say, just say, you just say, just say
You lively up yourself
You lively up yourself
You know I gotta, I gotta, gotta, got to, got to, got to
Yes, yes, yes, yeah
You gotta do it, let me, well, well
Yeah
Uh
