[Verse] Sunset streaks on the picket fence, Tin cans drummin’ on a laundry line, I step up on the warped backyard plank— Belly dance, but I’m the star tonight! [Pre-Chorus] Neighborhood eyes on fire, Hips swayin’ like a broken fan, One wrong move and I might just fall… But I’m too loose to hit the ground! [Chorus] Laughter, rhythm, no fear in my chest, They’re clappin’ loud and throwin’ me a test! With a twirl and a hop and a “Hey, you’re a mess!” I’m the funk that’s laughin’ at the best! Oh-oh-oh, this is my jam, Even the dog’s a-scratchin’ to the beat! [Verse] Grandpa’s on the porch with a toothless grin, Waves with a coffee cup and a “Gettin’ in!” The kids scream “Dance, man, dance!” like a chant, I drop my shades—yeah, that’s the plan! [Pre-Chorus] Fence posts rockin’ with the groove, Socks flippin’ high in the summer breeze, I’m not a pro, I’m just one of the crew— And the crowd’s the only judge I need! [Chorus] Laughter, rhythm, no fear in my chest, They’re clappin’ loud and throwin’ me a test! With a twirl and a hop and a “Hey, you’re a mess!” I’m the funk that’s laughin’ at the best! Oh-oh-oh, this is my jam, Even the dog’s a-scratchin’ to the beat! [Bridge] They say I can’t dance, I say “Watch me now!” A little off-key, but I’m still in the crowd. No spotlight, no stage, but the heart’s my mic— This backyard soul is the only real thing! [Chorus] Laughter, rhythm, no fear in my chest, They’re clappin’ loud and throwin’ me a test! With a twirl and a hop and a “Hey, you’re a mess!” I’m the funk that’s laughin’ at the best! Oh-oh-oh, this is my jam, Even the dog’s a-scratchin’ to the beat! [Outro] Yeah, we’re the mess, we’re the mix, Funk in the air, and the whole block’s lit— Laughter, rhythm, let’s do it again!
