Right now, it's showtime at PJ's!
How about a great big round of applause?
Check this out
Thanks for coming down tonight
It's nice to see all you guys back here
All you gals
Alright, we're gonna freak this one up now
We're gonna get into it now
Well, back to the back to the beat, y'all
Down with the sound so sweet, y'all
Just how fresh can you get, y'all?
Those that are blessed say yes, y'all
I'mma come inside and do my thing
I'mma take off my drawers and I'mma let myself swing
Tantalize my tummy with a boo-boo snack
But now I got to get back
Yeah
Oh, this one's for you and you and you
Gonna break it down to the nitty grit
I'm gonna tell you motherfuckers why you ain't shit
'Cause suckers like you just make me strong
You be poppin' that bullshit all day long
I'm gonna bust my shoes, I'm gonna bust my socks
I'm gonna spread my word from standing on this box
This drivethrough world, it just ain't right
Gonna run to Joe & Tony's and get my hair cut nice
Yeah, real nice, y'all
Well, come on, y'all, and just come on, y'all
And just, work, work, work, work it out, y'all
I'm tryin' to get up, so don't you get me down
Life, I love you, now give me a pound
Up from the fryin' pan and into the fire
Look within and try to admire
Yeah, what's going on, y'all?
Aww yeah
Gimme little claps, a soul clap
And I'mma get my shit together, boy
Aww yeah
Gonna, gonna, gonna, aww yeah
Gonna get it together
Everybody, gonna get it together
Can you, can you hear me one time?
For your mind, aww yeah
Okay, that's it for the night, folks
It's good to hear y'all out there
Come back next week
We'll have some sheets for ya
Remember on your way home
If you're drivin', don't drink
And if you drink, don't drive
