​[Intro]
(Quantized LinnDrum groove with gated snare and minimalist cowbell. Massive resonant Moog bassline with filter sweeps, chugging muted guitar, and rhythmic 808 conga rolls. Prophet-5 synth brass stabs lock the tension.)
(MALE LEAD SHOUTING) OW! Yeah! Check it out now!
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) STYLE……
​[MELODIC CHORUS]
(EXTENDED VOCAL ENSEMBLE HARMONY MIXED WITH NASAL LEAD AD-LIBS)
STYLE! TURN IT UP! EVERYBODY SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!
(MALE LEAD) YEAH! WE GOTTA ROCK THIS WHOLE DANCING CROWD!
STYLE! TEAR IT DOWN! PUT THE FEET ONTO THE FLOOR!
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) THAT’S RIGHT, GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE BEGGING FOR!
(MALE LEAD) OW! YOU JUST CAN’T DENY WHAT YOU FEEL INSIDE!
​[Verse 1: Tight Rhythmic Delivery]
(MALE LEAD SINGING - TIGHT & STACCATO)
Got to get a message straight across to you
Put a little class in everything you do
That way, the way you walk, the way you talk
And the way you dress, yeah
Gonna put a little distance between you and the rest
​[Verse 2: Snappy Funk-Hop Delivery]
(MALE LEAD SINGING - TIGHT & STACCATO)
Well, it's that particular flair that makes you bold
Standing out from the crowd, breaking the mold
Get your point across without ever shouting out loud
Walking through the metropolitan streets so proud
​[Pre-Chorus]
(MALE LEAD) If respect is what you want from the boulevard
Then that is exactly what you get when you play it smart
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) YOU CAN WORK OUT A SWEAT WITHOUT A SINGLE CARE!
​[MELODIC CHORUS]
STYLE! TURN IT UP! EVERYBODY SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!
(MALE LEAD) YEAH! WE GOTTA ROCK THIS WHOLE DANCING CROWD!
STYLE! TEAR IT DOWN! PUT THE FEET ONTO THE FLOOR!
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) THAT’S RIGHT, GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE BEGGING FOR!
(MALE LEAD) OW! YOU JUST CAN’T DENY WHAT YOU FEEL INSIDE!
​[Verse 3: Tight Rhythmic Delivery]
(MALE LEAD SINGING - TIGHT & STACCATO)
Got to be a hero on the concrete ground
Change some points of view when you cruise through the town
Got to set a trend, don't just follow the regular news
Step inside your lane, you've got absolutely nothing to lose
​[Verse 4: Snappy Funk-Hop Delivery]
(MALE LEAD SINGING - TIGHT & STACCATO)
Use that natural charm that you always wear
Your distinct personality floating through the air
Taking care of business, handling all the curiosity
Moving forward with a brand new velocity
​[Bridge 1: Extended Funk Instrumental]
(Punishing LinnDrum dry pocket with complex Moog filter sweeps. A sharp, staccato Prophet-5 synth brass section engages in a fiery call-and-response duel with a heavily processed, wah-wah infected funk guitar solo.)
​[Pre-Chorus]
(MALE LEAD) If respect is what you want from the boulevard
Then that is exactly what you get when you play it smart
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) YOU CAN WORK OUT A SWEAT WITHOUT A SINGLE CARE!
​[MELODIC CHORUS]
STYLE! TURN IT UP! EVERYBODY SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!
(MALE LEAD) YEAH! WE GOTTA ROCK THIS WHOLE DANCING CROWD!
STYLE! TEAR IT DOWN! PUT THE FEET ONTO THE FLOOR!
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) THAT’S RIGHT, GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE BEGGING FOR!
(MALE LEAD) OW! YOU JUST CAN’T DENY WHAT YOU FEEL INSIDE!
​[Verse 5: Tight Rhythmic Delivery]
(MALE LEAD SINGING - TIGHT & STACCATO)
Some people try to learn it straight from a text
Always wondering what kind of movement is coming up next
But either you have it built inside your soul from the start
Or you're just acting out a completely empty part
​[Verse 6: Snappy Funk-Hop Delivery]
(MALE LEAD SINGING - TIGHT & STACCATO)
Yeah! You gotta work it smooth, work it clean
Becoming the slickest figure that the avenue has ever seen
No hesitation when you step onto the center floor
Leaving the entire venue shouting and begging for more
​[Bridge 2: Extended Low-Voice Chant & Conversation Interlude]
(The drum beat turns minimalist. A deep, coarse, ground-crawling male unison chant provides a heavy rhythmic foundation.)
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) WHAT YOU NEED…… IS REAL PANACHE……
(SPOKEN DIALOGUE) Hey man, look at that posture. That's pure class right there.
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) TO EARN…… THE RANK OF CLASS……
(SPOKEN DIALOGUE) No doubt, no doubt. You can't buy this attitude. You just gotta live it.
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) KEEP IT SMOOTH…… KEEP IT REAL……
(SPOKEN DIALOGUE) That's the definition. Check the stride. Yeah, turn it up.
​[MELODIC CHORUS]
STYLE! TURN IT UP! EVERYBODY SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!
(MALE LEAD SHOUTING) GROOVE UNTIL THE VERY END!
STYLE! TEAR IT DOWN! PUT THE FEET ONTO THE FLOOR!
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) THAT’S RIGHT, GIVING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE BEGGING FOR!
(MALE LEAD SHOUTING) YEAH! OW!
​[Outro]
(The heavy LinnDrum pocket and crawling Moog bassline continue. The muted funk guitar riffs and sharp Prophet-5 brass stabs slowly begin to back away, while the low-voice ensemble echoes raw ad-libs.)
(MALE LEAD SHOUTING) Just keep it locked right there... on the dime...
(LOW-VOICE GROUP CHANT) STYLE…… PANACHE…… SMOOTH……
(A final, single punchy kick and crisp snare hit bring the track to an abrupt, tight halt.)
