Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Uh, Big Willie

Get on the floor

[Verse 2]

Oh, I'm the party starter

You might have a good time, but we party harder

So, tell the DJ to play my song

And we can dance all night to the early mornin'

[Verse 3]

Oh, I'm the party starter

You might have a good time, but we party harder

So, tell the DJ to play my song

And we can dance all night to the early mornin'

[Verse 4]

Dance, an aphrodisiac, woman gyratin'

Simulatin' sensual acts to stimulatin' musical tracks

I thought I was just gon' come out tonight

And get a brew and relax, but no

[Verse 5]

Uh uh, when you're the party starter

It's like yo on call, you what the doctor ordered

It's like you gotta block the border to the door

And shock them when it's borin'

[Verse 6]

Get on the floor

[Verse 7]

Uh, it's the groovicide bomber

Mic in my vest tight strapped to my chest

Like I'ma run up in the party hollerin'

Be like, ohh, fulfillin' my callin'

[Verse 8]

Big Will that's my name, whoop

Writin' rhymes, that's my game, whoop

Ask me again and I'll tell you the same, whoop

Just write your number right next to your name, girl

[Verse 9]

Oh, I'm the party starter

You might have a good time, but we party harder

So, tell the DJ to play my song

And we can dance all night to the early mornin'

[Verse 10]

Oh, I'm the party starter

You might have a good time, but we party harder

So, tell the DJ to play my song

And we can dance all night to the early mornin'

[Verse 11]

He was raised in the days when the roof was raised

And very rap occasion, new and amazin'

The back of the stage is amazed and gazin'

Prayin' for the day they would one day praise him

[Verse 12]

Studied the ways of the game and made it

Came through the maze and the haze and played it

Perfect, days any person hated and cursed him

He was unfazed, he waited, it was worth it

[Verse 13]

He never retaliated, he saved it, slavin' on the road blazin'

Days when he was low, nothin' could raise him

He came to the show and something uncaged in him

[Verse 14]

Like the pope of this party crusade

I'm like braids that's never gonna fade, ya hurr?

I'm like twenty-three's on a Escalade

Throw me into the rave like you threw a grenade, boom

[Verse 15]

Oh, I'm the party starter

You might have a good time, but we party harder

So, tell the DJ to play my song

And we can dance all night to the early mornin'

[Verse 16]

Oh, I'm the party starter

You might have a good time, but we party harder

So, tell the DJ to play my song

And we can dance all night to the early mornin'

[Verse 17]

I call for the days of the unadulterated

When the artistry was cultivated

You know back when rap was smart and multilayered

We could rap without A and Rs and ultimatums, damn

[Verse 18]

Now, today I say the phrase, I long for the good ol' days

When the party was all about partyin'

I was a mini party starter then

My mind bends when I call my pen

[Verse 19]

The big question, should I run the mind a vittle?

Food for thought or dumb the rhyme a little?

But Will, if you come too high

That'll alienate folks and they won't buy it, yo

[Verse 20]

Look, people gettin' trapped in the track

And they be clappin' even when the rappin' is whack

Yo, what happened, when did we get happy with that?

He old fashioned, but let's be happy he back

Ya hurr me?

[Verse 21]

Oh, I'm the party starter

You might have a good time, but we party harder

So, tell the DJ to play my song

And we can dance all night to the early mornin'

[Verse 22]

Oh, I'm the party starter

You might have a good time, but we party harder

So, tell the DJ to play my song

And we can dance all night to the early mornin'
