Steppin Up Lyrics

[Intro]
Steppin' up in this club (All tooled up)
Like a thug
, rub-a-dub-dub
Rub-a-rub-a-dub-dub
Steppin' up in this club (All tooled up)
Like a thug
, rub-a-dub-dub
Rub-a-rub-a-dub-dub
Steppin' up in this club (All tooled up)
Like a thug
, rub-a-dub-dub
Rub-a-rub-a-dub-dub
Steppin' up in this club (All tooled up)
Like a thug
, rub-a-dub-dub
Rub-a-rub-a-dub-dub, dub, dub, dub, dub

[Verse 1]
I light up like a genie and I blow up on this song
Rub-a-dub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub
Aladdin; no kiddin', boy I need a rub
Rub-a-dub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub
Me and my speakers speak in sub, sub, sub
Sub-a-sub-a-sub-a-sub, sub-a-sub-a-sub-a-sub
You know who I am, I run this fuckin' club
Dub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub, club-a-club-a-loves-a-love

[Chorus]
Waistlines and ass, anything fast
Humpin' on my leg, yo, mind my fucking glass
Making money last, hide it in the bass
Sound of a bomb blast, throw it in the bag
Basslines and cars, anything fast
You know who I am, I run this fuckin' club
Speaker speakin' sub, throwin' fire like a mob
Flash, bang, thunder, demolition job
[Post-Chorus]
(M.I.A.) You know who I am
(M.I.A.) You know who I am

[Chorus]
Waistlines and ass, anything fast
Humpin' on my leg, yo, mind my fucking glass
Making money last, hide it in the bass
Sound of a bomb blast, throw it in the bag

[Verse 2]
I can nail a sound and that shit will make you jump
J-j-j-j-jump, jump; j-j-j-j-jump, jump
I can smash a beat so that track will make you run
Run-run-run-run-run, run; run-run-run-run-run, run
I'm tooled up to the tee, I tie up just for fun
Fun-fun-fun-fun-fun, fun; fun-fun-fun-fun-fun, fun
Get ready for the steady stream of weights by the ton
Ton-ton-ton-ton-ton, ton; ton-ton-ton-ton-ton, ton

[Chorus]
Waistlines and ass, anything fast
Humpin' on my leg, yo, mind my fucking glass
Making money last, hide it in the bass
Sound of a bomb blast, throw it in the bag
[Post-Chorus]
(M.I.A.)
(M.I.A.)
(M.I.A.)
(M.I.A.) You know who I am
(M.I.A.) You know-You know who I am
(M.I.A.)

[Outro]
Steppin' up in this club (All tooled up)
Like a thug
, rub-a-dub-dub
Rub-a-rub-a-dub-dub
Steppin' up in this club (All tooled up)
Like a thug
, rub-a-dub-dub
Rub-a-rub-a-dub-dub

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
