Lyrics

[Intro: Michael Bivins & Boyz II Men] Now check this out, one day back in Philly Four guys wanted to sing They came up to me, I said, "Well, what's your name?" (Boyz II Men) Hey, you know what I'm sayin'? Then I said, "Alright, fellas, well, let me see what you can do" And then the smart one named Wanya said "Yo, Mike, check this out, see if this one moves you" [Chorus: Boyz II Men] Motownphilly back again Doin' a little East Coast swing Boyz II Men going off Not too hard, not too soft [Interlude] (Okay, party people in the house) [Verse 1: Nathan Morris, Michael McCary & Boyz II Men] It's long overdue, but now Philly is slammin' Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD The East Coast Family Never skipped a beat (Nah) While coolin' on South Street Jet-black Benz, plenty of friends (And all the Philly steaks you can eat) [Pre-Chorus: Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, Boyz II Men] Back in school, we used to dream about this every day Could it really happen? Or do dreams just fade away? Yeah Then we started singing and they said it sound smooth Then we started a group and here we are Kickin' it just for you, oh, oh [Chorus: Boyz II Men] Motownphilly back again Doin' a little East Coast swing Boyz II Men going off Not too hard, not too soft [Interlude: Michael Bivins & Boyz II Men] Boyz, Boyz Yo, these four new jacks is real smooth on the harmony tip (Boyz II Men) Nate, Mike, Shawn, and Wan' You know the mentality (Boyz II Men) Keep flippin' the gift [Verse 2: Shawn Stockman, Nathan Morris & Boyz II Men] The spotlight is on us now, watch us do this Da-da (Turn it up), da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da (Turn it up) Live and direct from Phillytown We're rappin' hype and we can get down We are ready to go So now the world will know that we flow [Pre-Chorus: Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman & Boyz II Men] Back in school, we used to dream about this every day Could it really happen? Or do dreams just fade away? Then we started singing and they said it sound smooth So we started a group and here we are Kickin' it just for you, oh, oh [Chorus: Boyz II Men] Motownphilly back again Doin' a little East Coast swing Boyz II Men going off (Go, go) Not too hard, not too soft [Bridge: Boyz II Men] Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up) Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up) Then we started— Boyz II Men Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up) Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up) Then we started— Boyz II Men (Turn it up) Then we started singing and they said it sound smooth [Interlude] Turn it up One, two, three Here we go Here we go Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up Here we go again [Interlude: Michael Bivins & Boyz II Men] Now check this out, one day back in Philly Four guys wanted to sing They came up to me, I said, "Well, what's your name?"
