Knees Hurt

[INTRO] Hold on… Lemme stretch first… Don’t rush me. DJ still better play my song though. [CHORUS] Knees hurt but we outside, Still got rhythm on our side, Two-step wobble with a little pride, But we outside tonight. Knees hurt but we outside, Ibuprofen and house vibes, Feet swollen but the soul alive, So we outside tonight. [VERSE 1] Compression socks in my overnight bag, Still cute though, let’s be clear on that, Little knee brace underneath my jeans, Still hitting moves from 1993. DJ dropped that old school track, Whole body said “don’t do that,” But the spirit took over my feet, Now my chiropractor booked all week. [PRE-CHORUS] Ain’t twenty-five no more, But we still shut down the floor. [CHORUS] Knees hurt but we outside, Still got rhythm on our side, One good squat and I might die, But we outside tonight. [BREAKDOWN] Fan me! Hold my purse! Wait— Why this floor so low?! [HOUSE BREAK] Jack your body… Carefully… Stretch before the beat drop please. [VERSE 2] Whole crew dancing with orthopedic grace, Cute little limp but still keeping pace, Laughing hard with tears in our eyes, Cause joy still live inside. No shame in aging out loud, Still bringing soul into the crowd, Little slower, little wiser now, Still know how to turn it out. [BRIDGE] Body sore… Spirit lit… That’s grown Black woman excellence. [FINAL CHORUS] Knees hurt but we outside, Bassline got me feeling fly, Might need ice when I get inside, But tonight? We outside. [OUTRO] Somebody help me up out this chair…
