Lyrics

Now

[Intro]

Now!

(Freaks on the floor)

1, 2, 1, 2

Light up another one, dude

[Chorus]

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

[Verse 1]

One two one two, 94

I'm on the set, freaks on the floor

Don't worry about my name, it's too long to remember

I could tell you now but we'd be here till next September

Three it be like that, see?

This ain't about the trippers tripping like they know they be

This ain't about this, that, what, where or how

This about the freaks doing everything they wanna do now

Now now - what cha gonna say? now now - how you wanna play?

[Chorus]

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

[Post-Chorus]

What you wanting to say? (Get funky)

What you want to play? (Get funky)

[Verse 2]

Three, four, three, four, 99

She the new hero 'cause she's so divine

Unaffected by the system, she'd rather die

Than write a rap for some big booty heffa gettin' by

On that booty, instead of doin' duty

Aspire to be higher, I admire so I fire

'Cause it's flyer to be hungry than phat

And take it from this sister, y'all take it from that

It's flyer to be hungry than phat

The ride up front is better when you've been in the back

And that's a fact

This ain't about this y'all, it ain't about that

This ain't about the booty movin', pumpin' the max

This ain't about this, that, what, where, or how

This about the freaks doin' everything they wanna do now

[Chorus]

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

[Post-Chorus]

What you going to say? (Get funky)

Now you want to play? (Get funky)

[Verse 3]

40, 45, snake's alive

Say one thing, do another, it's time

We chill on that, nah, I don't need a gat

I'd rather see your self-checkin' ass up to bat for another swing

Anybody can sing

There's more to genius than the word, my sister anything I would bring

Or would u rather dine alone

Well, if you change your mind, you can reach me on your video phone

It's a dime, as in dollars, and that's my two bloody cents

This ain't about this, that, what, where, or how

This about the freaks doin' everything they wanna do now

[Chorus]

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

[Post-Chorus]

What you come to say? (Get funky, get funky)

Come on, now how you want to play? (Get funky, get funky)

Band!

(Now)

[Verse 4]

67, 67

Freaks dance like they in heaven

DJ don't stop the music

DJ don't stop the music

Fill us with de dope track

Lick us, twist us, roll us in your mouth

Light us up and take a hit

Light us up and take a hit

Mmm, suck us til we're dry

And when we're lookin' like a roach, hit the lights

Before u say goodnight though

Let's make a toast, yo

This ain't about this, that, what, where, or how

This about the freaks doin' everything they wanna do now!

[Chorus]

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)

[Outro]

(Get funky)

(Get funky)

(Get funky)

(Get funky)

(Freaks on the floor) (Now)

(Freaks on the floor) (Now)

(Freaks on the floor) (Now)

(Freaks on the floor) (Now)

(Get funky)

(Get funky)

(Get funky)

Where to start with Stevie Wonder’s albums, and where to go next

A route through Stevie Wonder’s catalogue, from his Motown foundation to the expansive 1970s albums and a rewarding later detour.
