One day, we’re going to meet.

One day, we’re going to collide.

One day, we’re going to go heads up.

Today is that day.

I’m going to bounce you right off this stage.

You better be prepared.

You better be scared.

You better be steady.

You better be ready.

You better be tough.

You better be rough.

You better have your game face on.

Turn the volume up.

Give me some bass.

Turn the treble down.

Turn the treble back up.

 

I’m ready to bounce.

I’m ready to meet.

I’m ready to collide.

I’m ready go heads up.

I’m ready to bounce.

I’m ready to meet.

I’m ready to collide.

I’m ready go heads up.

 

Get ready to move.

Get ready to dance.

Get ready to...

Get pumped up.

Let me hear some noise.

Let me hear your voice.

Let me hear you...

Get pumped up.

I want to see a sea of hands.

Let’s stay in control.

Let’s stay...

Stay pumped up.

Let’s stay in order.

Let’s stay with the beat.

Let’s stay...

Stay pumped up.

 

I’m ready to bounce.

I’m ready to meet.

I’m ready to collide.

I’m ready go heads up.

I’m ready to bounce.

I’m ready to meet.

I’m ready to collide.

I’m ready go heads up.

 

One day, we’re going to meet.

One day, we’re going to go heads up.
