Word Up

All pretty ladies around the world
Got a way to show you, so tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother and sister and your mama too
We're about to go down and you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Fly by the people as they start to look and stare

Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby, tell me what's the word

Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call, you got to get it on the way
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it, you know that you'll be heard

Now all you sucker DJs who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
Why you put on those and act real cool
You've got to realize that you're acting like a fool
If there's music, you can use it, you're free to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance

No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mama
Come on, baby, tell me what's the word

Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call, you got to get it on the way

Come on, all you people say
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
W-O-R-D up
