Step 1... step off to the dance floor
Push (hey) (push up on it)

Push - lord (push, yeah) (push up on it)
Every time you get some
People wanna take it back
They rather see you on the run
Than see u get it like that
Every time they stop you
Change up like a sock
Every time they try to clock you
Tick more than they tock
Push, I push
Don't let them pull you down, yeah
Push I push
Until you get to higher ground
Push
You're never to young, never to old
Push
Don't stop until to go
Did you ever stop to wonder
Why you put another down?
No man should asunder
The joy that another man found
Maybe 'bout the business you was worried
Wasn't ever filed in your name
Maybe the cartridge you was playin'
Don't fit in your video game
Push, I push
Don't let them pull you down, yeah
Push I push
Until you get to higher ground
Push
You're never to young, never to old
Push
Don't stop until to go, oh yeah

Every time you get some push
People wanna take it back p-push
They rather see you on the run push
Than see you get it like that
Every time, every time they stop you, every time

(Get on the mike)
I push for a beat that is greasy
I'll dis a beat if it teases
Mark this down as I state it
I like my funk concentrated
The pop seem, hmmm, a little overrated
You sure can tell where we're steppin'
There's some grease on the stage
Ooops, I just stepped in it (push)
Circlin' as we slide
The full stride for the ride
On a watered-down tip
We could never get by (push)
Fellas (get on the mike)
Check it out, here's what you gotta do (push)
Gotta step in the room with the mood
Never juicin' yourself
Just a confident attitude (push)
Believe me, you will get busy
Your mouth'll drop open
(Push)
But you don't want the one who's jockin'
Cause it's all about the clockin' (push)
Step 1, step off 2 the dance floor (push up on it)
There ya go, y'all, yeah (push)

You don't want me on the mike Push up on it
(Get on the mike)
No man, you don't want me on the mike (don't stop until u go)
(Get on the mike) Push up on it
(Push)
It's thunder when I'm on the mike (push) I push
Daddy Pop's in the house
And you're sure to like his diamonds (push) I push
Sure to like his pearls
I'm good to cream every boy and girl
Cuz I'm a stollin'
Steady hip-hop rockin' rollin (push)
A willing and able horny pony
And I'm pumpin' em, I'm pumpin' em (push)
I'm pump-pump-pump-pump-pumpin' em
From Pakistan to Poland (push)
Straight into your town
Snatchin' up kiddies (get on the mike)
Like a circus clown (get on the mike)
(Push)
(Get on the microphone)
Well, all you people out there, (push)
You'd better be 'ware
Cuz' they call me Rosie G
And I just don't care (push)
I like 2 step, all night long
Rappin', hiphopin', and pushin this song
The song gets higher and it sets you on fire (push)
Like the lion in the jungle (get on the mike)
It takes you all higher (push)
My momma said "Girl, you know it ain't cool, (get on)
Said ya don't wanna play by nobody's rules"
I said "Momma chill out, (push)
And give me a break, cause
I know I got just what it takes" (push)
I said "Momma don't put me under pressure (get on, get on)
I love u and I think you're fresher - push" (push)
Everybody here we go, come on now
A-push if ya wanna push
A-come on, a-come on, a-come, a-come p-p-push it, push (push)
(Push it) (push)
Push
