Lyrics
Well now I guess it's time for me to wreck shop
Ready to take charge and make an impact
So show your peace while the beat drops
Show your approval as the music starts
And if you're in the house just throw your hands up
Express yourself if you're present
And let me see my brothers and sisters spread love
Let the unity among people be visible
And if you're not down there's something wrong see
There's an issue if you're not supportive
'Cause see my project homies, they got my back G
My friends from the neighborhood support me
Droppin' a old school with a new school
Mixing old and new styles
PA's in the house and it's a good thing
Positive mention of PA (Possibly Philadelphia)
Well if you down with the clique
If you're part of this group
Let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)
Show allegiance to the group
Well if you down with the clique
Reiteration of allegiance to the group
Let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)
Another call for allegiance to the group
Well if you down with the clique
Continued emphasis on group loyalty
Let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)
Encouraging confirmation of being part of the group
Well if you down with the clique
Repeated call for group affiliation
Let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)
Request to express loyalty to the group
Now it's a phone checker, I musn't do this
Being cautious about checking the phone
And if you didn't know I thought you knew this
Assuming prior knowledge about a situation
It took a little time but now it's on see
Finally, something anticipated has started
You been waiting for so long to beep me
People have been waiting for communication
So check check check it out, all the dogs in the house (woof woof woof)
Metaphorical reference to people as dogs
So pump your fist in the air and say
Encouragement to show enthusiasm
R. Kelly's on the track and it's a good thing
Positive acknowledgment of R. Kelly's involvement
Well if you down with the clique
Reiteration of group affiliation
Let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)
Encouragement to vocally affirm group membership
Well if you down with the clique
Continued insistence on group allegiance
Let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)
Request for verbal confirmation of group belonging
Well if you down with the clique
Repeating the call for group loyalty
Let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)
Urging to express commitment to the group
Well if you down with the clique
Emphasizing the importance of group affiliation
Let me hear you say (I'm down wit it)
Asking for a verbal declaration of group allegiance
(break it down)
Transition or pause in the song
Tonight is the night that I
Indicating a momentous occasion for connection
I take you boy and I put you in my good thing all night
Suggesting an intimate moment with someone
First we have the Black ground posse in her clique
Naming groups or affiliations
Then we have the funky second chapter in her clique
Mentioning another group
PA's in the house and yes you know they're in her clique
Reaffirmation of PA's presence
And all the project homies are down with the clique
Acknowledging loyalty of specific friends
Well now we have the double extra large in her clique
Introduction of another group
Plus we have the DA to the Smahd in her clique
Mentioning yet another group
Then we have the down town posse in her clique
Adding another group to the acknowledgment
Peace to the hood cause ya down with her clique
Wishing peace to those affiliated
