paroles de chanson If You Don't Know - Queen Latifah

Happy new year (new year), it′s a new year (new year)
And I'ma tell you what I want you to do here (do here)
You gotta get up, you gotta get down
It′s a jam, and if you're square, you better get round
I got the flavor (flavor), I got the unit (unit)
Of ten deadly MCs, who fine-tuned it?
Of the composer, of this controversial literature
Stop, I think they call it Hip-hop

The Q to the U
The E, the E, the N
The L-A-T-I-F-A-H
I know it's hard to comprehend, but I′ma identify as Latifah
You know, the one that grabbed the mic′ and blew the speakers?
So, so, slide on the rhythm 'cause it′s slippery
Slip on this here dance floor, and see if you can get with me
I'ma rip stupidly for those who need to be reassured
As Nevelle gets funky on the keyboard

If you don′t know where'd to find a party
You wanna learn how to shake that body (learn how to shake that body)
I got it here for ya (I got it here), this is the year (this is your year) for ya
And you can do it right here, right now (gotta do it)

I′m Queen Latifah and I find I'm anointing you
Blessing ya mind with rhymes from an African point of view
Wanna see ya neck turn into the direction I'm pointing to
All the way laughing, guess that is the way that I come to you
When I started off, I had to play the right tracks
And see the discrimination of the ones they called blackened
Indeed, those are the ones that go for it
I put the plan to the bat and got a show for it
I got the flavor, unit there and always watching out
I do not cuss because my mommy said to watch my mouth
I keep ya spinning, funking, jumping like a hula-hoop
After we put the proper rhyme to a pumping loop
Now if you get down with the kick down, you′ll be getting down
This is a hit, and also hitting and splitting sound
My lyrics added to some music make a perfect rim
But I think it′s time I let the singing part come in, c'mon

If you don′t know where'd to find a party (and if you don′t know)
You wanna learn how to shake that body (and you wanna learn how to shake that body)
I got it here for ya (I got it here), this is the year (this is your year) for ya
And you can do it right here (right here), right now (gotta do it, right now)

But what do ya know? (What do ya know?)
The record's almost done, I didn′t know (you didn't know?)
Well, I was having too much fun to the listeners (the listeners?)
You know I think you all of you like me (like the Queen)
I know you had a ball
It brings me joy to see the party people working out (working out)
In case you didn't know, that what′s this record′s all about (all about)
So, when you dance, remember to be positive
As we take it all the way to the bridge

C'mon and dance, this is your chance
Despite my romance, be what you want to be
And baby (and baby), get crazy (crazy)
C′mon, get on the dance floor
For all you want and more

Get-get into it (yeah)
Get involved (get funky)
Get-get into it (yeah)
Get-get-get involved (get funky)
Get-get into it (yeah)
Get-get involved (get funky)
Get-get into it (yeah)
Get-get into it, get into it

If you don't know where to find a party (and if you don′t know, find that party)
You wanna learn how to shake that body (you gotta shake the body)
I got it here for ya (I got it here), this is the year (this is your year) for ya
And you can do it right here (right here), right now (right now)

If you don't know where to find a party (if)
You wanna learn (you want to learn) how to shake that body (gotta shake the body)
I got it here for ya (I got it here), this is the year (this is your year) for ya
And you can do it right here (right here), right now (right now)

Ayy, oh
Ayy, oh
Ayy, oh, yeah
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Get funky

Get funky
