[Intro – Vinyl scratches, funky bass, female DJ voice] Uh! Uh! Hold up, hold up! Who let him in? Ha! Run that! One, two — check it! [Chorus – Bouncy female chant, male responses] Back it up, back it up, hold that thought You want a piece but you can't buy stock Click-clack, boom, make the whole room rock Re-re-rewind, let the beatbox talk! Spin that back! (Hey!) Bring that bass! (Woo!) Talk that talk, better know your place Spin that back! (Yeah!) Run that track! [Reverse vocal FX: 'Run that track' played backwards] [Verse 1 – Male rap, playful stop-start flow] Walk in the room, everybody wanna look Got a fresh white tee and a face like a crook Two left feet but I move like a king Got a pocket full of nothing and a whole lotta swing Wait — who that? Man, who's he? Got a big old grin and a small ID Girl said, 'Boy, are you famous?' Nah, not yet, but the bass contagious! Boom-bap, tick-tock, snap that neck Got a little bit of swagger and a whole lotta checks Not in the bank, I'm talking my style Had the whole dance floor jumping in a little while [Pre-Chorus – Female teasing male] You think you're slick? (Maybe a little!) You got that drip? (Down to the middle!) You got that rhythm? (Girl, watch me go!) Then hit that switch and steal the show! [Chorus – Female chant, heavy bass] Back it up, back it up, hold that thought You want a piece but you can't buy stock Click-clack, boom, make the whole room rock Re-re-rewind, let the beatbox talk! Spin that back! (Hey!) Bring that bass! (Woo!) Talk that talk, better know your place Spin that back! (Yeah!) Run that track! [Reverse vocal FX: 'Run that track' played backwards] [Verse 2 – Male rap, playful swagger] Tickety-tick, better look at the clock I don't need a gold chain, got a beat that knocks I don't chase no fame, let the fame chase me Got a cheap pair of kicks and a VIP key Oh, you fancy? (Nah, I'm broke!) Got a little bit of cash and a whole lotta jokes She said, 'Baby, can you dance like that?' I said, 'Girl, just watch when the drummer comes back!' Brrt-brrt, hold up, switch that flow Little more bounce and a little less show Left foot, right foot, slide to the side If the bass ain't heavy, I ain't taking that ride [Breakdown – Drums cut, vinyl spin] Wait! Stop! Hold that beat! [Two seconds silence] Uh-oh! Who turned off the heat? [Reversed vocal scratching] [Heavy bass drops] [Bridge – Female and male call and response] Who got the bounce? (We got the bounce!) Who got the sound? (We run this town!) Who's gonna stop? (Nobody now!) Turn that thing up and shake the ground! [Final Chorus – Double-time scratches, gang responses] Back it up, back it up, hold that thought You want a piece but you can't buy stock Click-clack, boom, make the whole room rock Re-re-rewind, let the beatbox talk! Spin that back! (Hey!) Bring that bass! (Woo!) Talk that talk, better know your place Spin that back! (Yeah!) Run that track! [Reverse vocal FX: 'Run that track' played backwards] [Outro – Funky bass, DJ scratches] Uh! Uh! Spin that! Rewind that! Sky-c! [Record scratch] [Hard stop]
