Act Like You Know Lyrics

[Intro: Will Smith]
Uh, Big Will and Trā-Knox
Yo, yo, yo, yo

[Verse 1: Will Smith]
Jump, move when I tell you make ya way up to the front
Addicted to the way I kick it, I know what you want
The don jiggy, caterin' to what you're feelin'
Pack it from the floor up to the ceilin', shake
What'cha momma gave ya, baby, don't let nothin' break
Ya watch, 'cause we don't care how much time it's gonna take
Dance floor packed and it's lookin' like a lake of seduction
Here's your instruction: Slide
Get up off that wall, girl, stop tryna hide
Trackin' aphrodisiac, don't be denied
Chill with that cigarette, take it outside
Messin' with my vibe, I don't like that, bounce
I'ma pressure player, I'ma hit it when it counts
Party like a lamb and the whip about to pounce
The don jiggy, caterin' to what you're feelin'
Pack it from the floor up to the ceilin', come on

[Chorus: Trā-Knox & Will Smith]
Bring it all or nothin' (Uh)
Ain't no time for frontin'
Come on, just let it flow (Uh)
Jump on, act like you know (Yeah, yeah, yo, yo, yo)
Get on the floor, it's jumpin' (Woo)
Ooh, these girls are somethin'
Come on, just let it flow (Uh)
Jump on, act like you know (I, I, I)
[Verse 2: Will Smith]
I call Jazzy Jeff on the phone
I said, "I'm downstairs waitin' joker, come on"
I told him it's this hot spot that we gotta burn
He said, "Man, after last weekend, haven't you learned?"
Yo, look here, dunny, last weekend was a mistake
That mami tryna dish it out when she couldn't take
Come at me dancin' wild like this thing is a game
One little move on her, and she burst into flames (Whoosh)
The whole club runnin', tryna ruin my night
I told roll 'em, "Roll around a little, she'll be a'ight"
Then everybody mad at me, all up in my face
Somebody shoulda told that girl to stay in her place
Ya feel a little heat, baby girl, I'm behind ya
And hopefully ya burnt Gucci dress will remind ya
Of how serious I am, maybe it's crazy, y'all
But if you wanna play, honey, go get a baby doll, holla at me

[Chorus: Trā-Knox & Will Smith]
Bring it all or nothin' (Uh)
Ain't no time for frontin'
Come on, just let it flow (Come on, come on, come on, come on, what?)
Jump on, act like you know (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Get on the floor, it's jumpin' (Woo)
Ooh, these girls are somethin'
Come on, just let it flow (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Jump on, act like you know (Uh, uh)
[Verse 3: Will Smith]
Huh, check and make sure I'm lookin' cute for her
Huh, check and make sure I'm packin' loot for her
Huh, 'cause I'm bout to shut down the bar for her
Huh, and later open up my car door for her
Huh, 7:00 PM, I leave the set and then
No more actin', back to rappin' again
Red carpet, hectic, gettin' me in
What happened last week, sure it could happen again
Mos Def, on bump, when ya pulled up out front
Lookin' like a Jet magazine Beauty of the Month
Shades on, layin' lady low in the cut
Told myself, "You the one to shake it up with"
Bounce, over to ya table came completely unnanounced
Observed your curves, body fat about an ounce
Hormones pumpin' out in dangerous amounts
Grabbed ya arm, turn around girl, jump
Move when I tell make ya way up to the front
Addicted to the way I kick it, I know what you want
The don jiggy, caterin' to what you're feelin'
Pack it from the floor up to the ceilin', come on

[Chorus: Trā-Knox & Will Smith]
Bring it all or nothin' (Yo)
Ain't no time for frontin'
Come on, just let it flow
Jump off, act like you know (Uh, uh)
Get on the floor, it's jumpin' (Woo)
Ooh, these girls are somethin'
Come on, just let it flow (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Jump on, act like you know
Bring it all or nothin' (Uh)
Ain't no time for frontin'
Come on, just let it flow (Yo)
Jump on, act like you know
Get on the floor, it's jumpin'
Ooh, these girls are somethin' (Yo, yo)
Come on, just let it flow
Jump on, act like you know (Yo, yo, yo, uh)
[Outro: Trā-Knox & Will Smith]
Come on (Uh)
Jump on (Yo, yo, yo, yo)
Get on the floor, it's jumpin' (Woo)
Come on, just let it flow (Yo)
Jump on, act like you know (Uh, uh)
Big Will, uh, Trā-Knox, uh
Foundation laid, Tim & Bob, y'all
One time, we out, what?
Uh, haha, yeah
