LYRICS

Turn me up

Get out your seat

Everybody hit the dance floor

Get with me

I’m burning up

And I’m in demand

I’m so sexy steal your woman and your man

I’m feeling good baby

And I’m feeling free

And yes I’m young, gifted and Black so just let me be

Come get a taste pretty baby

Let me strut my stuff

And if you want more

Then you can turn me up

I’m feeling wonderful

Doing big things in my life

Let’s call it what it is

My own personal paradise

I'm gonna spread my wings

And fly to higher heights

I’m gonna raise my voice

Stand with me and shine your light

Turn me up

So you can hear

The joy in my voice

When I'm smiling from ear to ear

I'm on the beat

I'm in the groove

Watch how I do my thing

When I start to show and prove

Just let the rhythm of the music pull you in

Let's come together on the oneu until the end

This ain't no half step

What we got is real

No masquerade

You got to play the way you feel

I’m feeling wonderful

Doing big things in my life

Let’s call it what it is

My own personal paradise

I'm gonna spread my wings

And fly to higher heights

I’m gonna raise my voice

Stand with me and shine your light

Life is a party it's up you to bring the vibe

Invite the whole family

The ones who make you feel alive

Strangers are welcomed but they gotta know their place

BYO everything but break me off a taste

Turn me up right now

Baby let me funk it down with you

Turn me up right now

Baby let me funk it down with you

Turn me up right now

Baby let me funk it down with you

Turn me up right now

Baby let me funk it down with you
