Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Step 1: Step off to the dance floor
Step 1: Step off to the dance floor
[Verse 2]
Push (Hey)
(Push up on it)
(Good God)
Push (Lord, push)
(Push, yeah)
(Push up on it)
[Verse 3]
Every time you get some
People wanna take it back
They rather see you on the run
Than see you get it like that
Every time they stop you
Change up like a sock
Every time they try to clock you
Tick more than they tock
[Verse 4]
Push (I push)
Don't let them pull you down, yeah
Push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground
Push
You're never too young, you're never too old, yeah
Push
Don't stop until you go
[Verse 5]
Did you ever stop to wonder
Why you put another down?
No man should asunder
The joy that another man found
Maybe about the business you was worried
Wasn't ever filed in your name
Maybe the cartridge you was playing
Don't fit in your video game
[Verse 6]
Push (I push)
Don't let them pull you down
Push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground
Push
You're never too young, you're never too old, yeah
Push
Don't stop until you go, hey
[Verse 7]
Alright (I push)
Push (Push up on it)
Push (I push)
Push, push, hey
Push (Come on and push it now, hey, push)
(Push up on it)
Push (I push)
[Verse 8]
Every time you get some (Push)
People wanna take it back (P-push)
They rather see you on the run (Push)
Than see you get it like that
Every time they stop you
Change up like a sock (Push)
Every time they try to clock you (Push)
Tick more than they tock
[Verse 9]
Push (I push)
Don't you let them pull you down
Push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground (Higher)
Push
You're never too young, you're never too old, yeah
Push
Don't stop until you go (No, don't)
[Verse 10]
Push (I push)
Push (I push)
Push (I push)
Push (I push)
[Verse 11]
Did you ever stop to wonder? (Did you ever stop to wonder?)
(Yeah, I'ma push up on it)
(Push)
(Push)
(Push, push)
[Verse 12]
(Tony) Yo?
(Get on the mike) I'ma push up on it
(Tony) Yo?
(Get on the mike) Yeah, I'ma push up on it
(Tony) Yo?
(Get on the mike) Slow down, I'ma push up on it
(Get on the mike, get on the mike)
[Verse 13]
I push for a beat that is greasy
I'll diss a beat if it teases
Mark this down as I state it
I like my funk concentrated
The pop seem, hmm, a little overrated
You sure can tell where we're stepping
There's some grease on the stage
Oops, I just stepped in it (Push)
Circling as we slide
The full stride for the ride
On a watered-down tip
We could never get by (Push)
Fellas (Get on the mike)
Check it out, here's what you gotta do
Gotta step in the room with the mood (Push)
Never juicing urself
Just a confident attitude (Push)
Believe me, you will get busy
Your mouth'll drop open
As you watch the slimmies funking (Push)
But you don't want the one who's jocking
'Cause it's all about the clocking
Step 1: step off to the dance floor (Push up on it)
There ya go, y'all, yeah (Push)
[Verse 14]
(One, one, two, three) (Push, push, push)
Push up on it (Get on the mike, woman)
(Prince) Push up on it
(Get on the mike)
(Prince)
You don't want me on the mike (Push up on it)
(Get on the mike)
No man, you don't want me on the mike (Push up on it)
(Get on the mike)
(Push)
[Verse 15]
It's thunder when I'm on the mike (Push, I push)
Daddy Pop's in the house
And you're sure to like his diamonds (Push, I push)
Sure to like his pearls
I'm good to cream every boy and girl
'Cause I'm strolling
Steady hip-hop rocking rolling (Push)
A willing and able horny pony
And I'm pumping them, I'm pumping them (Push)
I'm pump-pump-pump-pump-pumping them
From Pakistan to Poland (Push)
Straight into your town
Snatching up kiddies (Get on the mike)
Like a circus clown (Get on the mike)
(Push)
(Get on the microphone)
[Verse 16]
Well, all you people out there (Push)
You'd better beware
'Cause they call me Rosie G
And I just don't care (Push)
I like to step, all night long
Rapping, hip-hopping, and pushing this song
The song gets higher and it sets you on fire (Push)
Like the lion in the jungle (Get on the mike)
It takes you all higher (Push)
My momma said, "Girl, you know it ain't cool" (Get on the microphone)
Said, "Ya don't wanna play by nobody's rules"
I said "momma chill out, (Push)
And give me a break, 'cause
I know I got just what it takes" (Push)
I said, "Momma don't put me under pressure"
"I love you and I think you're fresher" Push (Get-get on, get-get on the mirco-)
Everybody here we go, come on now (Get on-get on)
A-push if ya wanna push (Get-get on, get-get on the mirco-)
A-come on, a-come on, a-come, a-come p-p-push it, push (Push)
Push it (Push)
Yeah, push it (Push)
