[Verse 1] Grew up with empty pockets and two left feet No shining star, just a kid on the street Tried my hand at everything, nothing would stick Talent ran dry and the money ran quick Then one night the lights pulled me in Mirrorball spinning, the bass kicking in I stepped on the floor and the world fell away Something inside me came out to play [Pre-Chorus] They don’t know the man who punches the clock Quiet and plain in my nine-to-five walk But when the night falls and the beat starts to rise A different man opens his eyes [Chorus] Back up! Make some room for the king Back up! Watch the mirrorball swing Back up! Everybody clear the floor The disco king is here And he’s about to score Back up! Feel the heat in the air Back up! Watch him dance like he don’t have a care Back up! He’s the ruler of the night Everyday man by day Disco king when the lights get bright [Verse 2] No fancy clothes, no silver spoon Just a natural groove and a killer tune The crowd parts open like the sea in a dream Jaws on the floor when I slide through the scene Spins and dips and a slide to the side Every move clean, every step full of pride They point and they whisper, “Who is that guy?” Just a nobody who learned how to fly [Pre-Chorus] They don’t know the man who punches the clock Quiet and plain in my nine-to-five walk But when the night falls and the beat starts to rise A different man opens his eyes [Chorus] Back up! Make some room for the king Back up! Watch the mirrorball swing Back up! Everybody clear the floor The disco king is here And he’s about to score Back up! Feel the heat in the air Back up! Watch him dance like he don’t have a care Back up! He’s the ruler of the night Everyday man by day Disco king when the lights get bright [Rap Verse] Now the whole floor feels it when the king starts to move Energy hits like a wave, ain’t no way to refuse Bodies start shaking, they got no control Music and the monarch done taken their soul Feet start sliding, hands in the air They were standing still but now they all there Can’t fight the rhythm, can’t stand in place The dance king’s power got ’em locked in the bass One by one they fall in line Moving together like the groove’s divine Overwhelming feeling running through the crowd They couldn’t help it, they just got loud [Bridge] By day I’m invisible, blending in gray By night I’m a legend they can’t look away Two sides of the same soul, both of them real One pays the bills The other one heals [Final Chorus] Back up! Make some room for the king Back up! Watch the mirrorball swing Back up! Everybody clear the floor The disco king is here And he’s about to score Back up! Feel the heat in the air Back up! Watch him dance like he don’t have a care Back up! He’s the ruler of the night Everyday man by day Disco king when the lights get bright [Outro] Back up… Back up… The king is on the floor Back up…
