[BASS HIT] Work it for me… work it for me… [PAUSE] Step on it… step on it… Step on it… STEP! [DRUM STOP] TURN IT UP! ⸻ [VERSE 1 — laid-back urban soul groove] Walk through the door, feel the bass in my chest, Whole room shift when I step to the left. I don’t need permission, I came for the vibe, Soul in my feet and that fire inside. No wall leanin’, no chair-side groove, If you came in here—GET UP AND MOVE! Hands in the air, let the rhythm get rough, DJ spin that joint— TURN IT UP! Work the middle… do it right… [PAUSE] Change positions now… Work it for me… work it for me… My neck… my back… It’s my—uh… just like that!

[BASS HIT] I came with the rhythm, came with the heat, Afro-organic bounce underneath. Drums talk back while the bassline growl, Whole crowd locked when the beat break down. Don’t worry ’bout who’s watchin’ you, Move how you feel, do what you do. Drop that fear, let your spirit erupt, When that bass hit— TURN IT UP! My neck… my back… It’s my—uh… just like that! Wiggle… wiggle… Wobble… wobble… [DRUM BREAK] ⸻ [FEMALE CHANT] Work it! (WORK IT!) Move it! (MOVE IT!) Feel it! (FEEL IT!) Prove it! (PROVE IT!) Hands high! (HANDS HIGH!) Bass low! (BASS LOW!)
