Lyrics Shut up and Dance - Timeflies

Shut up and Dance

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, «Oooh, oooh, 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, «Oooh, oooh, 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, «Oooh, oooh
Shut up and dance with me»
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, «Oooh, oooh,
Shut up and dance with me»
