Party Starter

Uh, Big Will
Uh, uh
Get on the floor

Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time, but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we can dance all night 'til the early morning
Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time, but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we can dance all night 'til the early morning

Dance, an aphrodisiac
Women gyratin', simulatin' sensual acts

To stimulatin' musical tracks
I thought I was just gon' come out tonight
And get a brew and relax
But no, uh-uh, when you're the party starter
It's like you're on call, you're what the doctor ordered
It's like you gotta block the border to the door
And shock 'em when it's pourin' (Get on the floor)
Uh, it's the groovicide bomber
Mic in my vest tight, strapped to my chest like

I'ma run up in the party hollerin' and be like "Oh"
Feelin' me callin'
Big (Big) Will (Will), that's my name (Woop)
Writin' (Writin') rhymes (Rhymes), that's my game (Woop)
Ask me again and I'll tell you the same, look (Woop)
Just write your number right next to your name, girl

Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time, but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we can dance all night 'til the early morning
Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time, but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we can dance all night 'til the early morning

He was raised in the days when the roof was raised
And every rap occasion new and amazin'
The back of the stage is amazed and gazin'

Prayin' for the day they would one day praise him
Studied the ways of the game and made it

Came through the maze and the haze and played it

Perfect, days any person hated
And cursed him, he was unfazed, he waited
It was worth it, he never retaliated
He saved it, savin' on the road blazin'
Days when he was low and nothin' could raise him
He came to the show and somethin' uncased in him
Like the Pope, but his party crusade
I'm like braids that's never gon' fade, ya heard?
I'm like twenty-threes on an Escalade
Throw me into a rave like you threw a grenade, boom

Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time, but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we can dance all night 'til the early morning
Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time, but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we can dance all night 'til the early morning

I call for the days of the unadulterated
When the artistry was cultivated
You know, back when rap was smart and multi-layered
We could rap without A&R's and ultimatums, damn

Now the day I say the phrase, I long for the good old days
When the party was all about partyin'
I wasn't mini party started in

My mind bends when I call on my pen
The big question, should I run the mind a little
Food for thought or dumb the rhyme a little?
But Will, if you come too high
That'll alienate folks and they won't buy it, yo
Look, people gettin' trapped in the track
And they be clappin' even when the rappin' is wack
Yo, what happened? When did we get happy with that?
He old-fashioned? (Yup) But let's be happy he's back, ya heard me?

Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time, but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we can dance all night 'til the early morning
Oh, I'm the party starter
You might have a good time, but we party harder
So, tell the DJ to play my song
And we can dance all night 'til the early morning
