[Intro: Salt, Stephanie Mills]
Tell me now
Rockwilder
Erick Sermon
Salt-N-Pepa
We takin' it back, yeah
Way back, block parties, back in time, park jams
Y'all know what I'm talkin' about, uh
[Verse 1: Salt, Alonda Rich, Stephanie Mills]
Relax your mind, set your conscience free
You're not rockin' to the sounds of S and P
Back to the party, back to The Fever, back to the rooftop
Showstopper money, we pullin' up in a new drop (Uh)
Doin' the Dougie to the bar for a few shots
World goin' up again, parties on every block (Ayy)
Takin' it back and you know we ready (Uh-huh)
Summertime, hot nights, sounds of the city (Come on)
No more lockdown, throw the confetti
Time to flex, huh, yeah, I'm petty
Dance, bounce, rollerskate
And please grow up, y'all too old to hate
Uh, I control my fate
Cut my own checks, yeah, I control my cake
Back to the party
(Tell me now) Ooh, ah
[Chorus: Alonda Rich]
Takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back
Back when people partied
Takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back
Back when people partied
Takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back
Back when people partied
Takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back
[Verse 2: Pepa, Alonda Rich, Stephanie Mills]
Big Pep, respect is in order
Take you back to the days when the Latin Quarter
Used to pop off, the whole city was lit
Don P filled my glass, not Cris'
The DJ's only spinnin' the hot sh—
S-N-P still continue to drop hits
Ladies say "Ow", fellas say "Ho"
Now we're here, 2024, let's go
Hands in the air, it's a brand new year
Ain't you tired of the tears and living in fear?
I promise you we about to go up and stay there
If you come to party, let me hear you say, "Hell yeah"
From the dance floor to the lobby
We gon' take it back to the party
(Tell me now) Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We gon' take it back
[Chorus: Alonda Rich]
Takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back
Back when people partied
Takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back
Back when people partied
Takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back
Back when people partied
Takin' it back, takin' it back, takin' it back
Back when people partied
