Word Up Lyrics


Yo, pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you, so tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mamma too
'Cause they're about to throw down and you'll know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don't care
Glide by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mamma
Come on baby, tell me what's the word
Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway
Word up, it's the code word
No matter where you say it, you'll know that you'll be heard now
All you sucker DJ's who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason and we know the reason why
You try to put on those airs and act real cool
But ya got to realize that you're acting like fools
If there's music, we can use it, we need to dance
We don't have the time for psychological romance

No romance, no romance, no romance for me, mamma
Come on baby, tell me what's the word
Word up, everybody say
When you hear the call, you've got to get it underway
Low
Dial 'L' for Low
Low
[Incomprehensible]Do your dance, do your dance
[Incomprehensible]Do your dance, do do do do your dance, do your dance
Check it, baby
Do do do, do your dance, do your dance
Say like that
Say like that
[Incomprehensible]Every body is gonna [Incomprehensible]
C'mon, all you people say
W O R D up
W O R D up
W O R D up

Cameo is a funk group which formed in 1974 in New York City, New York, United States. The band's lineup has constantly fluctuated since its formation, with the only constant being vocalist Larry Blackmon.

An outlandish, in-your-face stage presence, a strange sense of humor, and a hard-driving funk sound that criss-crossed a few musical boundaries earned Cameo countless comparisons to Parliament/Funkadelic in their early days. However, Cameo eventually wore off accusations of being derivative by transcending their influences and outlasting almost every single one of them. Throughout the '70s and '80s, the group remained up with the times and occasionally crept ahead of them, such that they became influences themselves upon younger generations of R&B and hip-hop acts. By the time the group's popularity started to fizzle in the late '80s, a series of R&B chart hits -- ranging from greasy funk workouts to synthesized funk swingers to dripping ballads -- was left in their wake. Further separating Cameo from their forebears, they didn't have a diaper-clad guitarist. Instead, they had a codpiece-wearing lead vocalist, Larry Blackmon.
