[Rap:] I never saw a crowd so into it All the girls in the club get into it You're not into it - get into it
Cause I never heard it feels so into it All the boys from around get down with it And the Girls on the floor get down with it You're not down with it? Get down with it Everybody even ain’t got time to quit
