Prince, The New Power Generation - Push Lyrics

Step one, step off to the dance floor
Step one, step off to the dance floor

Push (hey)
(Push up on it)

(Yeah, God, whoo)

Push, Lord
Push, push (push up on it)

Every time you get some
People want to take it back
Rather see you on the run
Than see you get it like that
Every time they stop you
Change up like a sock
Every time they try to clock you
Tick more than they tock

Ah, push (I push)
Don't you let them pull you down
Yeah, push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground
Yeah, push
You're never to young, you're never too old
Yeah, push
Don't stop until you go

Did you ever stop to wonder
Why you put another down?
No man should asunder
The joy that another man found
Maybe 'bout the business you was worried wasn't ever filed in your name
Maybe the cartridge you was playin' don't fit in your video game (push)

(I push)
Don't let them pull you down
Yeah, push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground
Ah, push
You're never too young, never too old
Yeah, push
Don't stop until you go, hey

(Alright) I push (push)
(Push up on it) (Push)
(I push)
(Push)
(Push, ah, yeah)
(Push) (you're pushing my)
(Yeah, push, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Push up on it) (push)

(Yeah) (I push) well, every time you get some
(Push) people want to take it back (p-push)
They rather see you on the run (push)
Than see you get it like that
(Every time) every time they stop you
Change up like a sock (push)
Every time they try to clock you (push), tick more than they can tock

Ooh, push (I push) don't let them pull you down
Push (I push) until you get to higher ground (higher)
Push
You're never too young, never too old
Yeah, push
Don't stop until you go

(No, don't) (push) I push
(Push) I push
(Push) I push
(Push) I push

Did you ever stop to wonder (did you ever stop to wonder)

(Push) yeah, I'm a-push up on it (push)
(Yeah) (push)
(Push, push)
(Push, push) (Tony!) Yo?
(Get on the m!)
I'm a-push up on it (Tony!) Yo?
(Get on the mic!) Yeah, I'm a push up on it
(Tony) Yo?
(Get on the mic!) Slow down, I'm a-push up on it (get on the mic!)
(Get on the mic!)

I push for a beat that is greasy
I'll diss a beat if it teases
Mark this down as I state it
I like my funk concentrated
The pop seem, a little overrated
If you sure can tell where we're steppin'
There's some grease on the stage
Oops, I just stepped in it (push) circlin' as we slide
The full stride for the ride on a watered-down tip
We could never get by (push)
Fellas (get on the mic!)
Check it out, here's what you gotta do
(Push) gotta step in the room with the mood
Never juicin' yourself, just a confident attitude (push)
Believe me, you will get busy
Your mouth'll drop open
As you watch the slimmies funkin' (push)
But you don't want the one who's jockin'
'Cause it's all about the clockin' (push)
'Step one, step off to the dance floor
(Push up on it) there ya go, y'all, yeah (push)

(Push, push, push) push up on it (push up on it) (get on the mic, woman!)

(Prince)(get on the mic!) Push up on it (get on the mic!)
(Prince) you don't want me on the mic (push up on it) (get on the mic!)
No man, (Prince!) (Push up on it) you don't want me on the mic (don't stop until you go)
Push (yeah)
(Yeah) push (yeah)

It's thunder when I'm on the mic (push)
Daddy Pop's in the house and you're sure to like
His diamonds (push) (I push) sure to like his pearls
I'm good to cream every boy and girl
'Cause I'm strollin', steady hip-hop rockin', rollin' (push)
A-willing and able, horny pony and I'm pumpin' em
I'm pumpin' em (push)
I'm pump-pump-pump-pump-pumpin' em
From Pakistan to Poland (push)
Straight into your town
Snatchin' up kiddies (get on the mic!) Like a circus clown (get on the mic!) (Push)

(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (get on the mic!)

Well, all you people out there, (push)
You'd better beware
'Cause they call me Rosie G and I just don't care
I (push) like to step, all night long
I'm rappin' here, rappin' there and pushing this song
The song gets higher and it sets you on fire (push)
Like the lion in the jungle (get on the mic!) It takes you all higher
My momma (push) said "girl, you know it ain't cool (get on)
Said ya don't want to play by nobody's rules"
I said "Momma chill out, (push) and give me a brea
'Cause I know I got just what it takes" (push)
I said "Momma don't put me under pressure (get on, get on)
I love you and I think you're fresher, push" (push)

Everybody here we go, come on now, a-push if ya want to push
A-come on, a-come on, a-come on, a-come p-p-push it, push (push)
(Yeah, push it)
(Push)
(Yeah, push it)
(Push)
