[Intro: Michael Bivins & Boyz II Men]
Now check this out, one day back in Philly
Four guys wanted to sing
They came up to me, I said, "Well, what's your name?" (Boyz II Men)
Hey, you know what I'm sayin'?
Then I said, "Alright, fellas, well, let me see what you can do"
And then the smart one named Wanya said
"Yo, Mike, check this out, see if this one moves you"
[Chorus: Boyz II Men]
Motownphilly back again
Doin' a little East Coast swing
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
[Interlude]
(Okay, party people in the house)
[Verse 1: Nathan Morris, Michael McCary & Boyz II Men]
It's long overdue, but now Philly is slammin'
Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD
The East Coast Family
Never skipped a beat (Nah)
While coolin' on South Street
Jet-black Benz, plenty of friends
(And all the Philly steaks you can eat)
[Pre-Chorus: Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, Boyz II Men]
Back in school, we used to dream about this every day
Could it really happen?
Or do dreams just fade away? Yeah
Then we started singing and they said it sound smooth
Then we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you, oh, oh
[Chorus: Boyz II Men]
Motownphilly back again
Doin' a little East Coast swing
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
[Interlude: Michael Bivins & Boyz II Men]
Boyz, Boyz
Yo, these four new jacks is real smooth on the harmony tip (Boyz II Men)
Nate, Mike, Shawn, and Wan'
You know the mentality (Boyz II Men)
Keep flippin' the gift
[Verse 2: Shawn Stockman, Nathan Morris & Boyz II Men]
The spotlight is on us now, watch us do this
Da-da (Turn it up), da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da (Turn it up)
Live and direct from Phillytown
We're rappin' hype and we can get down
We are ready to go
So now the world will know that we flow
[Pre-Chorus: Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman & Boyz II Men]
Back in school, we used to dream about this every day
Could it really happen?
Or do dreams just fade away?
Then we started singing and they said it sound smooth
So we started a group and here we are
Kickin' it just for you, oh, oh
[Chorus: Boyz II Men]
Motownphilly back again
Doin' a little East Coast swing
Boyz II Men going off (Go, go)
Not too hard, not too soft
[Bridge: Boyz II Men]
Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up)
Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up)
Then we started— Boyz II Men
Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up)
Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up)
Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up)
Then we started singing and they said it sound smooth
[Interlude]
Turn it up
One, two, three
Here we go
Here we go
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Here we go again
