Songtekst

1 - Let's get it crunk upon

We got ya'll open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me
Don't need no hateration, holleration
In this dancery
Let's get it perculatin' while you're waiting
So just dance for me

Come on everybody get on up
Cause you know we gots to get it crunk
Mary J. is in the spot tonight
And I'ma make you feel alright
(Make you feel alright)
Come on baby just party with me
Let loose and set your body free
Leave your situations at the door
So when you step inside, jump on the floor

Repeat 1

It's only gonna be about a matter of time
Before you get loose and start to loose your mind
Cop you a drink, go 'head and rock your ice
Cause we celebrating "No More Drama" in our life
With a Dre track pumpin', everybody's jumpin'
Go ahead and twist your back and get your body bumpin'
I told you leave your situations at the door
So grab somebody and get your ass on the dance floor

Repeat 1

We don't need no haters
We just tryin' to love one another
We just want y'all have a good time
"No more drama" in your life
Work real hard to make a dime
If you got beef, your problem, not mine
Leave all that BS outside
We're gonna celebrate all night
Let's have fun tonight, no fights
Turn the Dre track way up high
Making you dance all night and I
Got some real heat for ya this time
It doesn't matter if you're white or black
Let's get crunk cuz Mary's back
