Back That Up

Lyrics

Mean the metaphor
Move to the beat of the
Sway to the rhythm of
Wave it around like a

Back that up to the beat, to the beat
Back that up to the beat, to the beat
Bang that drum to the beat, to the beat
Back that up to the beat, to the beat

Do it, do it
Do it, do it

Keep on trying to
I'm getting ready for
Let this party go
I'll be freakin' to

Mean the metaphor
Move to the beat of the
Sway to the rhythm of
Wave it around like a

Back that up to the beat, to the beat
Back that up to the beat, to the beat
Bang that drum to the beat, to the beat
Back that up to the beat, to the beat

Do it, do it
Do it, do it

I'll be drinking Krug Rosé and sometimes Lemon Drops
I'll be wearing diamond grills and Louboutins a lot
Sometimes I can be extreme, I'm never gonna stop
Keep this party going, we'll be dancing 'til we drop

You're my metaphor
Guess I'm running low
I'll keep giving up
Don't remember a

Mean the metaphor... Fun
Move to the beat of the... Drum
Sway to the rhythm of... One
Wave it around like a

Back that up to the beat, to the beat
Back that up to the beat, to the beat
Bang that drum to the beat, to the beat
Back that up to the beat, to the beat

Do it, do it
Do it, do it

I'll be drinking Krug Rosé and sometimes Lemon Drops
I'll be wearing diamond grills and Louboutins a lot
Sometimes I can be extreme, I'm never gonna stop
Keep this party going, we'll be dancing 'til we

Bang that drum to the beat, to the beat
Back that up to the beat, to the beat
Bang that drum to the beat, to the beat
Back that up to the beat, to the beat

Do it, do it
Do it, do it
Do it, do it
Do it, do it
Do it, do it
Do it, do it
