Prince and the New Power Generation
Push
[Intro: Tony M & Prince]
Step one, step onto the dance floor
Step one, step onto the dance floor
Push (Hey)
(Push up on it)
(Good God)
Push, Lord
(Push, yeah)
(Push up on it)

[Verse 1: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Every time you get some
People wanna take it back
They'd rather see you on the run
Than see you get it like that
Every time they stop you
Change up like a sock
Every time they try to clock you
Tick more than they tock

[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines, Tony M.]
Ah, push (I push)
Don't let them pull you down, yeah
Push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground
Yeah, push
You're never too young, never too old
Push
Don't stop until you go
[Verse 2: Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Did you ever stop to wonder
Why you put another down?
No man should asunder
The joy that another man found
Maybe about the business you was worried
Wasn't ever filed in your name
Maybe the cartridge you was playing
Don't fit in your video game

[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines, Tony M.]
Ah, push (I push)
Don't let them pull you down
Push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground
Ah, push
You're never too young, never too old, yeah
Push
Don't stop until you go, hey

[Breakdown: Rosie Gaines, Tony M., Prince & Rosie Gaines]
All right
(I push)
Push
(I-I-I-I-I-I... push up on it)
Push
(I push)
Push, push, hey, yeah
Push
(Come on and push it now, hey push)
(Push up on it)
Push
(I push)
[Verse 3: Prince, Tony M., Rosie Gaines, Prince & Rosie Gaines]
Every time you get some (Push)
People wanna take it back (P-push)
They rather see you on the run (Push)
Than see you get it like that
Every time
Every time they stop you
Change up like a sock
Yeah, yeah
(Push)
Every time they try to clock you (Push)
You gotta tick more than they can tock

[Chorus: Prince & Rosie Gaines, Tony M.]
Push (I push)
Don't let them pull you down
Push (I push)
Until you get to higher ground (Higher)
Push
You're never too young, never to old, yeah
Push
Don't stop until you go
Push (I push)
Push (I push)
Push (I push)
Push (I push)
[Verse 4: Prince, Rosie Gaines, Tony M.]
Did you ever stop to wonder?
(Did you ever stop to wonder?) (Push)
Yeah, I'ma push up on it

(Tony) Yo
(Get on the mic) Slow down, I'ma push up on it
(Get on the mic)
(Get on the mic)
(Get on the mic)

[Verse 5: Tony M.]
I push for a beat that is greasy
I'll dis a beat if it teases
Mark this down as I state it
I like my funk concentrated
The pop seem, hmmm, a little overrated
You sure can tell where we're stepping
There's some grease on the stage
Ooops, I just stepped in it (Push)
Circling as we slide
The full stride for the ride
On a watered-down tip
We could never get by (Push)
Fellas? (Get-get on the mic)
Check it out, here's what you gotta do (Push)
Gotta step in the room with the mood
Never juicing yourself, just a confident attitude (Push)
Believe me, you will get busy
Your mouth'll drop open
As you watch the slimmies funkin' (Push)
But you don't want the one who's jockin'
'Cause it's all about the clockin' (Push)
Step one, step onto the dance floor (Push up on it)
There ya go, y'all, yeah (Push)

[Breakdown: Tony M. & Prince]
(One, one, two, three)
(Push)
Push up on it (Get on the mic, woman)
(Prince)
(Get on the mic) Push up on it
(Get on the mic)
(Prince)
You don't want me on the mic
Push up on it
(Get on the mic)
No man, you don't want me on the mic
(Don't stop until you go)
(Get on the mic) Push up on it
(Push)

[Verse 6: Prince]
Yeah-yeah, oh-oh, yeah
It's thunder when I'm on the mic
(Push, I push)
Daddy pop's in the house
And you're sure to like his diamonds
(Push, I push)
Sure to like his pearls
I'm good to cream every boy and girl
'Cause I'm a strollin'
Steady hip-hop rocking rollin' (Push)
A willing and able horny pony
And I'm pumpin' 'em, I'm pumpin' 'em (Push)
I'm pump-pump-pump-pump-pumpin' 'em
From Pakistan to Poland (Push)
Straight into yo' town
Snatching up kiddies (Get on the mic)
Like a circus clown, ha-ha-ha
(Push)

[Verse 7: Rosie Gaines]
Well, all you people out there (Push)
You'd better beware
'Cause they call me Rosie G. and I just don't care (Push)
I like to step all night long
Rapping, hip-hopping, and pushing this song
The song gets higher and it sets you on fire (Push)
Like the lion in the jungle (Get on the mic)
It takes you all higher (Push)
My Mama said "Girl, you know it ain't cool, (Get on...)
Said ya don't wanna play by nobody's rules"
I said "Mama, chill out, (Push)
And give me a break, 'cause
I know I got just what it takes" (Push)
I said "Mama, don't put me under pressure (Get on, get on...)
I love you and I think you're fresher, push" (Push)
Everybody, here we go, come on now
A-push if ya wanna push
A-come on, a-come on, a-come, a-come p-p-push it, push (Push)
(Push it) (Push)
(Push it) (Push)
