Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let's hear our favorite song
'Cause we gon' be here all day long
The family's here, we are strong
It's just the southern way that we go on
This is what we do, let's get this party started
In the month of June, 19th when we departed
This is what we do, let's get this party started
Let's get in the groove, it's a celebration
[Verse 2]
Hold up, man, it's summertime in the city
Let me throw some meat on the pit and get litty
Players look clean and the women look pretty
With their summer dress on and shorts that's itty bitty
It's Sunday and the sun so bright
But it ain't too hot, so it feel just right
Nothing too fancy, we keepin' it light
Good food and good friends, baby, and I'm tight
[Verse 3]
And we got a good reason to jump, fly
Get clean, turn up and throw ya hands up high
Juneteenth, baby, and I don't see why
We can't celebrate it like the Black 4th of July
Get with my people and jam some songs
Play me some spades or I slam some bones
'Cause if they ain't turned like us they wrong
Man, it's Juneteenth in Texas, we gettin' it on! Come on
[Verse 4]
Let's hear our favorite song
'Cause we gon' be here all day long (We gon' be here all day long)
The family's here, we are strong (Family's here and we are strong)
It's just the southern way that we go on
This is what we do, let's get this party started
In the month of June, 19th when we departed (In the month of June)
This is what we do, let's get this party started
Let's get in the groove, it's a celebration
[Verse 5]
Alright, y'all, man, this party is popping
Everybody clean like they just went shopping
They say the neighbors at the front door knocking
Well, they can knock all they want, we ain't stoppin'
Hell, they might as well come in
Pour ya self a drink and make a brand new friend
Get ya self a plate and meet my momma and dem
'Cause today, we treating strangers just like they kin
[Verse 6]
See, it's a holiday but it's also a time
When you can just relax, man, and ease ya mind
See, you ain't got to worry 'bout the hustle and grind
Just catch a vibe and everything'll be fine
See, this is the day that our ancestors prayed for
Back when they labored but the work wasn't paid for
But it's a brand new time
And since we come from kings and queens, man, you know we gon' shine, come on
[Verse 7]
Let's hear our favorite song (I'ma need my favorite song)
'Cause we gon' be here all day long ('Cause we gon' be here all day long)
The family's here, we are strong
It's just the southern way that we go on (It's the southern way that we go on)
This is what we do, let's get this party started
In the month of June, 19th when we departed (In the month of June)
(This is what we do, yeah) This is what we do, let's get this party started
Let's get in the groove, it's a celebration
[Verse 8]
Celebration, oh
Celebration, oh
Celebration
Celebration
Celebration
