lyrics
If you wanna get down
Pump your hands up in the air
If you wanna get down
Party rock like you just don't care
Lift your voices up
And shout to the sky
If you wanna get down
Boogie rhythm till you die
So, so you wanna be a baller
throw the money to the beat
So you wanna be a baller
Gotta dance on canned heat
People throw your hands up
People throw your hands up
People throw your hands up
So you wanna be a baller
Nothings ever gonna be enough
*Talking*
Well Adam, I know you're probably feeling some funny emotions
And they're probably making you want to get down
But there's nothing wrong with getting up
All I hear is swag this, swag that
I'm the kid lad back, superbad, holding the big payback
Talk like a gentleman, sing like a pimp
Schmidty's bars bust might as well let it whip
Still an average white man, pickin up the pieces
Thinkin up a thesis, drinkin' up diseases
Things done changed, still keep it very white
Betty White, on the low, Barry White
You can have me any night
If you wanna get down
If you wanna get down
If you wanna get down, ooo
If you wanna get down
If you wanna get down
If you wanna get down, ooo ooo
If you wanna get down
If you wanna get down
Yeah I'm livin in the moment, for the moments
That I'll regret or forget in the mornin
Don't hold your breath tryin to guess where we're goin
You're a queen, I'm a king, so we're goin all in
Yeah, and this grooves takin it's toll on me
You mighta guessed that I'm juiced and it's controllin me
Mind's set, lights low and we're swayin
I'm feelin put a ring on it, naw I'm just playin
