"If U Can't Dance (Slide)" lyrics

[Will Smith:]
Yo, if you can't dance, it's cool to get up now
Yeah see usually y'all stand off on the side
Y'know you're a little embarrassed or whatever
But this one of them joints for everybody
So get up on up, but keep it simple, slide

[Will Smith & Nicole Scherzinger:]
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right, all night, slide, that's all you gotta do
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right, all night, slide, that's all you gotta do

[Will Smith:]
Now we all know the boy at the club, all liquored up
Or with the bub tryin' to pick 'em up
Whack dancin', wookin pa nub
His shirt too bright, pants too tight, boy settle down
Now I ain't just messing with you
I got better things to do, I'm tryin' to help
I got a lesson for you, I know you do the best you could do
Wanna get next to boo? Then the less you do, the better
'Cause women equate dance with sex
They gon' see you, and be like, next
But you gon' be like, hold up ma!, next
But she gon' be like, uh-uh pah!, next
Now looka here, rule number one, know your name
It ain't Usher, Justin, Hammer? Then we can touch ya
Rule number two, never do a dance you can't do
Why stupid? You can't do it

[Will Smith & Nicole Scherzinger:]
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right, all night, slide, that's all you gotta do
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right, all night, slide, that's all you gotta do

[Will Smith:]
So I'm up in my spot in Miami the other night right
And this dude out on the floor OD'n, just way over-dancing
You know so his mami wanna holla at me

She thought my name was Billy, I told her it was Willie
She said she watched my TV show and I was very silly
Told her I was from Philly, she looked at me, said, "Really?"
And judging from her T-shirt I could tell that she was chilly
So I gave her my sweater, she said her name was Etta
She said she come from Cuba and she just had bought a Jetta
She said she glad I met her, let's go somewhere together
She said she'd ride in my car, 'cause she knew my car was better
The conversation cooking, attention gettin' tooken
My Spidey Sense is tinglin', I felt somebody lookin'
Now who this brother lookin, and now he running bookin'
I'm mad I'm like the fisherman I almost had my hook in
I figured I should get up, and quickly clear my head up
Rosetta got a man, got me feeling kinda set up
Now dude was really fed up, and yo he wouldn't let up
Homey if I hit you you might never ever get up
Now he was not a dancer, plus he wasn't handsome
Coming like Mel Gibson like I had his girl from ransom
Pedro wanna go outside. Yo amigo, tranquilo, slide

[Will Smith & Nicole Scherzinger:]
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right, all night, slide, that's all you gotta do
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right, all night, slide, that's all you gotta do

[Will Smith:]
Now rule number three is easy
Please remember that you ain't on Beach Street
The sweet beat you ain't trying to win no TV
Another dude get a move no need to outdo it
Rule number four, out on the floor
Don't be doing moves that don't nobody do no more
Draw too much attention it be adventurous on the floor
There's a reason that don't nobody do 'em no more, you feel me?
This may be hilarious
But rule number five is serious, uh
It's a shame to even have to discuss
But it's no lip biting or pelvic thrusts, I mean
You think that move'll put the sting on her?
You too close, tryin' to put a ring on her?
You don't know that girl, don't cling on her
And don't put your thing on her, cool?

[Will Smith & Nicole Scherzinger:]
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right, all night, slide, that's all you gotta do
If you can't dance then this is your jam, baby
Left to right, all night, slide, that's all you gotta do
