[You want me to say it now? 
c'mon  let's go!] 

All you cats in the back if you ain't wack 
If you're on the side flygirls and guys 
All the people in the middle when Spin drops the needle 
If there's moneymakers in the front  you know what I want 

I went to a party the other day around the way 
With my partner  her name P E P A 
We were dressed to kill  ready and willin' to make a killin' 
Met Spinderella at the door, what was she doin' Salt? Chillin' 
We walked inside a man asked the three for ID 
When he found out who we was he said, "Go ahead girls, y'all can go in free 
The drinks are on the house, anything you want is yours" 
Then he gave us the keys to the V.I.P. doors 
I said... 

CHORUS 
"Hey, you, I like it like that!" 
Hey, you, I like it like this 
If I had a wish before I die 
I'd like to have it like this for the rest of my life 

Chillin' at the bar drinking Moet and caviar 
People pointin' at us 'cause they know who we are 
Word had gotten around that S-N-P was in the place 
Now they gathered around to get a little taste 
"Yo, please, baby, please, I want to hear you MC" 
Is what this guy and his friend had said to Pepa and me 
Although we tried to resist, but then I said, "Hey, what's the use? 
One song won't hurt, and besides, his friend is cute" 
Spindy got on a set, handed a mic to me and Pep 
Then we started to rhyme, and I'm sure you know the rest 
They said... 

CHORUS 

It feels good when people are on it, don't it? You know it does 
Being treated like a queen on any scene just like we was 
Call it juice, call it jocks, whatever it is I know it rocks 
Till you sweat me and expect me to like it a lot 
And say... 

CHORUS 

[Yo, what are you doin'? 
Put the beat back on 
c'mon, stop playin' around Hurb! 
Yeah, boy, you know...you know we need some (bass!) 
Yeah, it's chill now 
It's ok, now let it play so we can say...] 

CHORUS
