Jermaine Dupri:
'Dis is, the point when I need e'rybody get to the dance floor
It's like that y'all (that y'all), that y'all (that y'all)
Da da da da, I like that y'all (that y'all)
(That y'all), that y'all (that y'all)
Da da da da, I like that y'all (that y'all) (MC ya)
MC:
I came to have a party
Open up the Bacardi
Feeling so hot tamale
Boy I know you watchin' me so what's it gonna be?
Purple taking me higher
I'm lifted and I like it
Boy you got me inspired
Baby, come and get it if you're really feeling me
'Cause it's my night
No stress, no fights
I'm leaving it all behind
No tears, no time to cry
Just making the most of life
Everybody is livin' it up (aha)
All the fellas keep lookin' at us ('cause)
Me and my girls on the floor like what (what)
While the DJ keeps on spinning the cut
It's like that y'all (that y'all), that y'all (that y'all)
It's like da da da da, I like that y'all (that y'all)
It's like that y'all (that y'all), that y'all (that y'all)
It's like da da da da, I like that y'all (that y'all, oh)
You like this and you know it
Caution, it's so explosive
Them chickens is ash and I'm lotion
Baby come and get it let me give you what you need
It's a special occasion
Mimi's emancipation
A cause for celebration
I ain't gonna let nobody's drama bother me
'Cause it's my night (my night)
No stress, no fights
I'm leaving it all behind
No tears (no tears), no time to cry
Just making the most of life
Everybody is livin' it up (yeah)
All the fellas keep lookin' at us ('cause) (lookin' as us)
Me and my girls on the floor like what (what)
While the DJ keeps on spinning the cut
It's like that y'all (that y'all), that y'all (that y'all)
It's like da da da da, I like that y'all (that y'all)
It's like that y'all (that y'all), that y'all (that y'all) (come to me)
It's like da da da da, I like that y'all (that y'all)
'Cause it's my night (it's my, it's my night)
No stress, no fights (no stress)
I'm leaving it all behind
No tears (no tears), no time to cry
Baby I'm making the most of life
Everybody is livin' it up (I said everybody)
All the fellas keep lookin' at us ('cause) (lookin' at us)
Me and my girls on the floor like what (floor like what)
While the DJ keeps on spinning the cut
It's like that y'all (that y'all), that y'all (that y'all)
It's like da da da da, I like that y'all (that y'all) (it's like)
It's like that y'all (that y'all), that y'all (that y'all)
It's like da da da da, I like that y'all (that y'all)
This is my night
