(feat. Jimi Kendrix and Ja Rule)

(Spoken Intro: Jimi Kendrix)
Wooo, hooo! Feel real good right here!
This is ya boy, Jimi Kendrix!
I.N.C., family business (ha, ha, ha, ha…)!
Ashanti, what up baby? You ready to go (Ja!), you ready to do this (Lloyd!)?!
Let’s do in this club and tear it up (OHH!)!
Now, I need everybody (OHH!), put yo’ drinks down (GET OFF YO’ FEET!),

Get off the wall (PUT YO’ DRINKS DOWN!),

And let’s get this party started, ya heard me (C’MON, C’MON, C’MON!)?
Here we go! C’MON!

(Chorus: Ashanti and Jimi Kendrix)

I just feel like I, like I could float on up to the sky (Jimi Kendrix: OHH!),
And come back feelin’ right (Jimi Kendrix: OHH, OHH, OHH!)…
Now, this is something I usually don’t do,
But I just might (Jimi Kendrix: OHH!) get wit’ you tonight, hey, hey

It gets just so hot in here, cool me down spray some OJ and Velvadir,
Over the rocks while the crowd is rockin’.
Everybody rollin’ like my life I wouldn't stop
Let’s all toast to the highest and utmost
The rule and the (Ashanti: princess).
And everybody with a two step (Ashanti: get up dance),
And all my gangstas that don’t dance (Ashanti: lean back).
‘Cause this is gangstafied, soon as I testify.
We all wanna party through the night,
And any ladies that look cute tonight
Send ‘em my way, I’ll show them how to loosen up get in da party mood.
