Grandmaster Flash - U Know What Time It Is

Just get off the wall, let's have a ball

The 70's are gone, it's the 80's y'all

Grab a fly girl by the hand and ask her to dance

C'mon fellas, don't be shy, just take a chance



You'll never know it might lead to romance

'Cuz the beat is cold stompin', it'll put you in a trance

You're so hypnotized that you stop and stare

I'm steppin' out of this 'cuz I'm not with that there



Get on the dancefloor, c'mon, take a stand

All the girlies in the place wanna dance with you, my man

Get on the floor and work it out if you can

Here's my ulterior motive, I mean my game plan



It doesn't hurt to flirt, just go ahead and chase the skirt

You can't help it, it's your line of work

To get women on the floor

It's you they adore, you might as well



U know what time it is?



Hang on party, people, 'cuz here we go

We're gonna cold take the party to another plateau

But in order for us to achieve a new height

We wanna hear flash cut the beat up, ain't that right?



While flash is choppin' the mix like an ax on wood

You gotta dance 'cuz the beat is finger lickin' good

Throw your hands above your head and reach for a cloud

And if there's anything you want to say, say it loud


I know the bass is pumpin' so hard, the lights are dim

And y'all are lettin' me know we're cold blowin' the rim

That's right, you're being served, served with a smile

And homeboy, you don't like it, we can step in the aisle



Just show no shame, you know it's only right

And if there's anything you want to get off, get it off tonight



U know what time it is?



A simple punch of the fade, a little flex of the wrist

Flash whoopin' the mix while I'm kickin' the gift

Yo, like a double edge razor, the boy is nice

When he cuts, give him room or you might get sliced



He's too cold to hold, too hot to be stopped

This jam that we got is good to the last drop

Weather you like it or not, we rock

Yo, since the day we emerged, have you heard?



That it was all about a party and yo, this is word

This party's rated NS for no suckers allowed

That's the scoop, hear me troop

So don't you come here actin' wild



But as you know there's always one in the crowd

You wanna party, then act like you know, can you dig it?

And if you came to get I'll forget it, I ain't with it



U know what time it is?
