[Experimental Funk] [Hard Funk Rock] [Sarcastic Spoken Word] [Distorted Slap Bass] [Wah-Wah Chaos] [Satirical Groove] [Unhinged Call & Response] [NYC Punk Energy] [Intro] "Alright, listen up!" "We got a message. It’s very important." "No, it’s not." "SHUT UP, YES IT IS!" [Verse 1] There’s a word you gotta know (What word? What word?) It’s everywhere, it’s on your TV (It’s in my soup?) It’s got no meaning but everyone says it (I say a lot of things, don’t mean shit.) It’s how we talk, it’s how we dance (It’s how we lie, it’s how we fail.) [Pre-Chorus] "SAY IT!" ("Say what?") "SHOUT IT!" "BELIEVE IN IT!" [Chorus] WORD UP! WORD UP! WORD UP! ( "WE CARE A LOT!") WORD UP! WORD UP! WORD UP! ("NO, WE DON’T!") [Verse 2] We care a lot about the trends (We care a lot about the memes.) We care a lot about looking cool (We don’t care about paying rent.) We say the words that make no sense (We nod and clap and fake a smile.) We pretend that we know what’s up (We got no clue, but we act wild.) [Pre-Chorus] "LISTEN TO ME!" ( "nah.") "I SAID LISTEN TO ME!" "FINE. DON’T LISTEN. JUST KEEP DANCING." [Chorus] WORD UP! WORD UP! WORD UP! ( "WE CARE A LOT!") WORD UP! WORD UP! WORD UP! ( "NO, WE DON’T!") [Bridge – ] "I asked my mom what it means..." "She slapped me." "I looked it up online..." "It just said ‘Word Up’ again." "I think this song is eating my brain." "Good. Let it." [Final Chorus] WORD UP! WORD UP! WORD UP! (coro: "WE CARE A LOT!") WORD UP! WORD UP! WORD UP! (coro: "SHUT UP!") WORD UP! WORD UP! WORD UP! (coro: "AAAAAAAAH!") ( [Outro] "Alright, that’s it. I quit." "Did we ever figure out what it means?" "No. But it doesn’t matter.""Yeah. Word up, man."
