Story Behind the Song
I have never followed the crowd but always did my own thing when dancing. There were times when I did line dances, etc., but I always tried to come up with my own dance. why do you have to follow the crowd or what everyone else is doing? DO YOUR OWN DANCE...DO YOUR DANCE! This was another easy song to compose. Traditionally, I don't like rap, but I do like the old school, sugarhill gang type rap. This song very easy to compose and was written in Hallandale, Florida. It took about 2 hours to write, lyrics and music, and only took one take for vocals. DO YOUR DANCE!
Lyrics
You know what I'm sayin?
Get down!
You know what I'm sayin?!
Get down!
Check it out....
Put your hands up high, in the air, and just move em, from side to side;
Now you do your own dance, if you can, you just do, what comes to mind;
Well if you're sick, tired of the same old groove, then just do what you wanna do;
So if you don't, want, to follow the crowd, then just do what you wanna groove get down!
Heh! You know what I'm sayin?
Do your dance, do your thing, heh, get down!
You know what I'm sayin?
Check it out.......
So I clap my hands everybody, the way they do, in a holiness Church;
I'll bump, grind, to the groove and like the 50's I'm doin the jerk;
Then up, down, and all around, I make my head, tremble and shake;
Hey you over there, let's up the tempo livin up, for goodness sakes, get down!
Heh! You know what I'm sayin? Huh! Do your dance, do your thing; get down!
You know what I'm sayin? Huh! You know what I'm sayin? Huh! Uh huh; check it out....
All you girls now, get dirty, lift your dress up, now you're selling;
yeah do, whatever yeah comes to mind, cause you know you're runnin out of precious time;
Hey you fellas, are you out there, listen up now, get rowdy, make trouble, and raise, a lot hell, because you know, that you're just a typical male!
Heh! You know what I'm sayin? Runnin out of time, nowhere to hide.
Get down! You know what I'm sayin? You runnin out of time, no where to hide;
Do dance, do thing;
Get down!
You know what I'm sayin? Runnin out of time, no where to hide;
Get down!
Do dance, do thing;
Get down!
