Korn – Word Up

Yo, pretty ladies around the world,
Got a weird thing to show you,
So tell all the boys and girls.
Tell your brother, your sister and your mamma, too.
We’re about to go down,
And you know just what to do.

Wave your hands in the air like you don’t care,
Glide by the people as they start to look and stare.
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick, mama.
Come on baby, tell me what’s the word?

Word up, (up up) everybody say,
When you hear the call, you’ve got to get it on the way.
Word up, (up up) it’s the code word,
No matter where you say it, you know that you’ll be heard.

Now all you sucker DJ’s who think you’re fly,
There’s got to be a reason and we know the reason why.
You try to put on those airs and act real cool,
But you got to realize that you’re acting like fools.

If there’s music we can use it,
Be free to dance.
We don’t have the time for psychological romance.
No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mama.
Come on baby, tell me what’s the word?

Word up, (up up) everybody say,
When you hear the call, you’ve got to get it on the way.
Word up, (up up) it’s the code word,
No matter where you say it, you know that you’ll be heard.
