[INTRO]
(Heavy raw percussion and cowbells. [Scratches: "STAY-IN-THE-GROOVE!"])

(All Shout): STAYING IN THE POCKET!
(Cap Shout): RAY PARKER JR. ON THE BOX! MOOG BASS GROWL!
[VERSE 1: SOULFUL BARITONE SINGING]
(Main Vocal):
Look at the line, they tearing the doors off for the beat
The street is alive, feeling the friction under our feet
Every heart is a drum, beating for the city tonight
We don't need the sun, we got our own burning light
(Cap Shout): BRING THE HEAT!
[VERSE 2: MALE CALL AND RESPONSE SHOUTS]
(Big Dog Shout): YO T-FAT! SMASH THE COWBELL! RATTLE THE WINDOWS!
(T-Fat Shout): I’M ON IT! (CLANG-CLANG!) FEEL THE IRON!
(Cap Shout): JUNO-106 PUMP! FEEL THE VOLTAGE!
(Slim Slick Shout): NO RADIO TRICKS! RAW POWER!
[VERSE 3: SOULFUL BARITONE SINGING]
(Main Vocal):
That synth is piercing the sky, hear the odyssey cry
Concrete dreams in the gutter, but we’re reaching so high
Keep it tight, keep it true, don't you ever let go
Let the rhythm take control, let the energy flow
(Big Dog Shout): KEEP IT IN THE POCKET!
[BRIDGE: THE STACCATO SHOUT & 80s GLITTER SURGE]
(All Rapid Sharp Staccato Shouts): Ah-h! Ah-h! Ah-h! Ah-h! Ah-h! Ah-h! Ah-h! Ah-h! Ah-h! Ah-h! GO-GO... HOOOOOOOOOOOOLD IT!

[PRE-CHORUS 1: EXPLOSIVE HARMONY]

NORTH SIDE TO SOUTH WE HOLD THE LINE
IN THE STEAM WE STOP THE TIME
WE BRING THE HEAT WE BRING THE PRIDE
NOWHERE TO RUN NOWHERE TO HIDE!

(All Shout): GO-GO STAY! STAY! STAY!
[VERSE 4: THE HEAVY SOUL SINGING]
(Main Vocal):
I'm the king of the avenue, no crown required
Just the beat and the bass, setting the night on fire
I’m the heartbeat of the district, stomping the ground
The walls are shaking, to this heavy sound
[VERSE 5: AGGRESSIVE INTERACTION]
(Cap Shout): NORTH SIDE! SOUTH SIDE! GO HIGHER!
(Big Dog Shout): RED HOT! THE ASPHALT IS MELTING!
(T-Fat Shout): PURE FIRE! THE ROOF IS GONE!
[LONG INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE]
(Heavy cowbells and distorted Minimoog. ARP Odyssey screams with DX7 stabs. Ray Parker Jr. style guitar hits hard. Turntables keep cutting the "STAY!" vocal.)
[VERSE 6: SOULFUL BARITONE SINGING]

Hear the tension, strings cutting through the dark
Cut the smoke, keep dancing, let’s find the spark
Just getting started, we got the high voltage now
The soul of the city, taking a final bow

(All Shout): GO-GO STAY! STAY! STAY!
[VERSE 8: HIGH ENERGY SINGING]
(Main Vocal):
Eight minutes in, and the giants still remain
Going til the sun burns, through the fire and rain
The floor is cracking, the foundation wants more
Give them everything, what you waiting for?
[VERSE 9: RAPID FIRE EXCHANGE]
(Slim Slick Shout): MACHINE DRUMMER! FIRE IN HIS HANDS!
(Cap Shout): DX7 PIERCE THE NIGHT!
(Big Dog Shout): EVERYTHING YOU GOT! NO REGRETS!
[VERSE 10: SOULFUL CONCLUSION]
(Main Vocal):
For the blocks, for the dreams in the dark
From the avenue to the alley, we left our mark
Written in the rhythm, written in the soul
We are the district, we are in control
[FINAL CHORUS: MAXIMUM POWER HARMONY]
(All Harmony): GO-GO! STAY! THE WHOLE CITY STAY STILL!
