They gave us something to move to
They gave us something to groove to
Slide to the side, with powder on the floor
Real head music Real expression
You know back then it didn't matter where you came from
White, Black, Puerto Rican, everybody was freaking
They gave us something to move to
They gave us something to groove to
Slide to the side, with powder on the floor
Real head music Real expression
You know back then it didn't matter where you came from
White, Black, Puerto Rican, everybody was freaking
All races, coming together
It made the night and the party something special
It was a coalition, as the soul filled the room
And everybody had a spot on the dance floor
Everybody felt that magic
Chicago One hundred percent New York
We had Frankie Knuckles in Chicago
Larry Levan in New York
Continental Bass, yeah and The Paradise Garage
Real head music Real expression
Not only did the DJ mix the music, the clubs mixed to people
Underground music with gospel influences and African rhythms
With a four floor to the floor, sometimes you could even hear
The Stones and the B52's
It was a coalition and the soul filled the room
Music was played with passion, to be shared by all
A gift to the masses
Let me see you pump them things one time for Chicago
Let me see you pump them things one time for New York
