Lyrics of Dynamite
[Music video introduction:]
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying AYO! Gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying AYO! Baby, let's go!
I came to dance, dance, dance, dance
I hit the floor 'cause that's my plans, plans, plans, plans
I'm wearing all my favorite brands, brands, brands, brands
Give me some space for both my hands, hands, hands, hands
Yeah, yeah
'Cause it goes on and on and on...
And it goes on and on and on...
Yeah!
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying AYO! Gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying AYO! Baby, let's go!
'Cause we gon' rock this club
We gon' go all night
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!
'Cause I told you once
Now I told you twice
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!
I came to move, move, move, move
Get out the way of me and my crew, crew, crew, crew
I'm in the club so I'm gonna do, do, do, do
Just what the fuck, came here to do, do, do, do
Yeah, yeah
'Cause it goes on and on and on...
And it goes on and on and on...
Yeah!
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying AYO! Gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying AYO! Baby, let's go!
'Cause we gon' rock this club
We gon' go all night
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!
'Cause I told you once
Now I told you twice
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!
I'm gonna take it all
I, I'm gonna be the last one standing
Higher over all
I, I'm gonna be the last one landing
'Cause I, I, I believe it
And I, I, I, I just want it all...
I just want it all...
I'm gonna put my hands in the air!
Hands, hands in the air!
Put your hands in the air!
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying AYO! Gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying AYO! Baby, let's go!
'Cause we gon' rock this club
We gon' go all night
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!
'Cause I told you once
Now I told you twice
We gon' light it up
Like it's dynamite!
