Huh!

(The big throwdown!)

(The big throwdown!)

(The big throwdown!)

I'm talkin' about the showdown (Hey!)

(The big throwdown!)

That dirty little down (Hey, hey!)

(The big throwdown!)

There ain't gonna be no leavin' town

Break it down y'all!

(Paaarty!)

(Party hearty!)

A-chicka-boom-chicka-bang-chicka-yowza-wowz

Rock on with your bad self

(Paaarty!)

(Party hearty!)

To the beat! Huh!

Huh!

(The big throwdown!)

(The big throwdown!)

I work hard everyday, just to make ends meet

It's getting so bad, I'm afraid to walk the streets

Folks walkin' and squawkin' cause they can't find a job

If they can't find work, they're gonna hustle and rob

Check it out y'all!

Most things we buy's been made across the sea

And that means fewer jobs for you and for me

It really blows my mind, it makes my blood boil

How much they rip us off, with their, foreign oil

Who's gonna take the weight?

Who's gonna take the blame?

The way things are going it's a, crying shame

I'm crackin', but I'm packin', in my rapper brief

If things don't get better, we'll all be on relief

So party hearty y'all, live life y'all

Live life for today!

Hang on in there, relief is on the way!

Check it out y'all!

(Paaarty!)

(Party hearty!)

A-chicka-boom-chicka-bang-chicka-yowza-wowz

Rock on with your bad self

(Paaarty!)

(Party hearty!)

To the beat! Huh!

(Paaarty!)

(Party hearty!)

A-chicka-boom-chicka-bang-chicka-yowza-wowz

Rock on with your bad self

(Paaarty!)

(Party hearty!)

(Paaarty!)

(Party hearty!)

(Paaarty!)

(Party hearty!)

Who's gonna take the weight?
