Lyrics
No wall leaning in the Club Stoneman
No day dreaming in the Club Stoneman
No seat warming in the Club Stoneman
We just party in the Club Stoneman
This is not just a room with lights and music
This is your own party beat so use it
This more than a room, it's more than just beat going boom chaka boom
Its a party that you can travel with, a CD with some beats to get funky with
So turn it on and bug out, club Stoneman can be played in the streets or the house
Its more than just a place that you can go to, its a party state of mind living inside of you
No wall leaning in the Club Stoneman
No day dreaming in the Club Stoneman
You don't need a lot of folks to party
You can do this without anybody
All you need is desire to make the party hot till it burns like a fire
Your neighbors may think you've lost your mind, when they hear you holler it's party time
Your body is moving like no one else so shake it fast and watch yourself
From side to side jump up and down like you don't give a damn just feel the sounds.
No seat warming in the Club Stoneman
We just party in the Club Stoneman
Ah yeah I'm telling you, its a state of mind and a party beat eruption
So make it do just what it do, get hype with motha fletchen mood adjustment
It's yo' party, it's yo' party,it's yo' party and you're the only Dee Jay
So get on it, you can do it, body moving like you're on the freeway
Move your butt like you're going insane, This need to bust can't be contained
Club Stoneman will take over your brain and have you doing it over and over again
Don't be ashamed about what's happening, Don't let your conscience start grappling
Pop to the beat and come back again, and if somebody asks say it's Club Stoneman
No wall leaning in the Club Stoneman
No day dreaming in the Club Stoneman
No seat warming in the Club Stoneman
We just party in the Club Stoneman
In the Club Stoneman, In the Club Stoneman
In the Club Stoneman, In the Club Stoneman
