They gave us something to move to
They gave us something to groove to
Slide to the side
With powder on the floor
Real hip music
Real expression
You know back then it didn't matter where you came from
White, black, Puerto Rican
Everybody was freakin'
They gave us something to move to
They gave us something to groove to
Slide to the side
With powder on the floor
Real hip music
Real expression
You know back then it didn't matter where you came from
White, black, Puerto Rican
Everybody was freakin'
All races coming together
It made the night at a party something special
It was a coalition
As the soul filled the room
And everybody had a spot on the dance floor
Everybody felt that magic
(Chicago) 100% (New York)
(Chicago, New York) We had Frankie Knuckles (Chicago)
In Chicago (New York)
(Chicago, New York) Larry Levan in New York (Chicago)
(New York) Continental Bass (New York)
(Chicago, New York) Yeah, and the Paradise Garage (Chicago)
(New York) Real hip music
Real expression
Not only did the DJ mix the music
The clubs mixed the people
Underground music with gospel influences
And African rhythms
With a four floor to the floor
Sometimes you would even hear the Stones
And the B-52's
It was a coalition
And the soul filled the room
Music was played with passion
To be shared by all
A gift to the masses
Let me see you pump them things one time for Chicago
Let me see you pump them things one time for New York
(Chicago, New York)
(Chicago, New York)
(Chicago) 100% (New York)
(Chicago, New York) We had Frankie Knuckles (Chicago)
In Chicago (New York)
(Chicago, New York) Larry Levan in New York (Chicago)
(New York) Continental Bass (New York)
(Chicago, New York) Yeah, and the Paradise Garage (Chicago)
(New York)
They gave us something to move to
They gave us something to groove to
You know back then it didn't matter where you came from
White, black, Puerto Rican
Everybody was freakin'
