1-2-3-4 (Sumpin' New)

Coolio · Greatest Hits & Remixes [2011]

This is some of the lingwood brinker of the funk business

And people come from miles around in a

almost religious devotion to get on down.



Chorus:

1-2-3-4 Get your woman on the floor

Gotta gotta get up to get down

Gotta gotta get up to get down



What up everybody so glad you're here

It's Coolio with the flow back in your ear

This ain't a fantastic voyage

But I'm still on a mission to see if I can

Get your attention

Now I want drops some information

Just a little additive to your education

I live my life by the code of the funk

600-watt AMP. 18s in the trunk

When I'm on the streets ya gotta feel my beats

So throw your hands up if you're down with the C

Double O-L-I-O with the flow

I'm lookin' for the party so let a brother know

1-2-3 it's like A-B-C if hip-hop didn't pay

I'd rap for free

Slide Slide but that's the past

I gotta sumpin' brand new for that ass



Chrous (x2)



If ya got beef then fool eat a pork chop

Once I get it goin' ya know it don't stop

I brake like anti-locks panties drop

From hood to hood block to block

Help I need somebody

To get it goin' on in the party

Baby you can do it take your time do it right

We can drink some yak and do it all damn night

My name ain't Wanda but I'll rock your world

I get more bounce than a Jherry Curl

Too many lookie-loos be lookin' for clues

There's a party goin' on now whatcha gonna do

So grab your partner do-see-do

If you done know who it is it's Coolio

Slide Slide but that's the past

I gotta sumpin' brand new for that ass



Chrous (x2)



Push, push in the bush

But don't step on the toes 'cause you might get smushed

It's the brother from around the way

And what I say I'm in the corner on three like Dr. Dre

Comin' at 'em with a pattern and a fresh pair adams

I hope he don't trip, 'cause

I don't wanna have to gat 'em

So move your body, baby, drive the homies crazy

Then when you sake that ass it's always amazin'

Ain't no party like a west coast party

'Cause a west coast party don't stop

So when you see a young nigga

In a Chevy hittin' switches

Then ya gotta give a nigga his props

I got sides in my rides and motion for your ocean

Coolio got the potion to get the party open

Slide Slide but that's the past

I gotta sumpin' brand new for that ass



Chrous (x4)
