if u can t dance slide feat nicole scherzinger

Will Smith

[Intro:]

Yo! If you can t dance, its cool to get up now
Usually, ya ll gotta sit on the side, but tonight, it s cool ...slide...

[Chorus]

If you can t dance then this is your jam, baby, left to right all night
Slide that s all you gotta do... You can t dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right all night, slide, that s all you gotta do
Now we all know the boy at the club, all liquored up,
Boy with the bub tryin to pick em up, wack dancing,
Wooking pa nub , shirt too bright, pants too tight
Boy settle down
Now I ain t just messing with you
I got better things to do
I m trying to help, I got a lesson for you
I know you do the best you could do
Wanna get next to Boo, then the less you do the better
Cause women equate dance with sex
They gon see you & be like, Next !
But you gon be like, hold up Ma ( Next! )
But she gon be like, uh huh, ( Next! )
Now looka-here, rule #1, know ya name,
if it ain t Usher, Justin or Hammer, then we can touch ya
Rule #2, never do a dance you can t do, why stupid,
Cause you can t do it

[Chorus]

So I m up in my spot in Miami the other night, right
& this Dude s out on the floor Od-ing, just way over-dancing
So his Mommy wanna holla at me
She thought my name was Billy, I told her it was Willie
She said she watch my Tv show & I was very silly
Told her I was from Philly she looked at me said, Really?
& judging from her t-shirt, I could tell that she was chilly
So I gave her my sweater, she said her name was Etta
She said she come from Cuba and she just had bought a Jetta
She said she was glad I met her, let s go somewhere together
She said she d ride in my car cause she knew that it was better
The conversation cookin , attention getting tookin
My Spidey senses tinglin , I felt somebody lookin
Now who this brotha lookin , & now he runnin , bookin
I m mad I m like a fisherman, I almost had my hook in
I figured I should get up & quickly clear my head up,
Cause Etta got a man & I m feelin kinda set-up
Now Dude was really fed up & yo, he wouldn t let up
Homey if I hit you, you might never ever get up
Now he was not a dancer, plus he wasn t handsome
Comin like Mel Gibson, like I had his girl for ransom
Yo, Pedro wanna go out side, yo amigo, tranquillo... slide

[Chorus]

Now rule #3 is easy, please remember that you ain t on Beat Street
Sweet feet, you ain t tryin to win no Tv, another dude did a move
No need to out do it
Rule #4, out on the floor, don t be doing moves that don t nobody do no more
Draw too much attention to be adventurous out on the floor
There s a reason that don t nobody do em no more, you feel me?
This may be hilarious, but Rule #5 is serious, it s a shame that we have
to discuss
That there s no lip biting or pelvic thrusts
I mean you think that move will put the sting on her,
you too close, tryin to put a ring on her?
You don t know that girl, don t cling on her & don t put your thing on
her...cool?!

[Chorus]
