[Verse 2]
Ooh, it's only gonna be about a matter of time
Before you get loose and start to lose your mind
Cop you a drink, go 'head and rock your ice
'Cause we celebrating no more drama in our life
With a Dre track pumpin', everybody's jumpin'
Go ahead and twist your back and get your body bumpin'
I told you, "Leave your situations at the door"
So grab somebody and get your ass on the dancefloor

We're just trying to love one another (Love)
We just want y'all to have a good time (Mhm)
No more drama in your life (Mmm-mmm, no)
Work real hard to make a dime
If you got beef, your problem, not mine (No, not mine)
Leave all that BS outside (We)
We're gonna celebrate all night (All night)
Let's have fun tonight, no fights
Turn that Dre track way up high (Turn it up, turn it up)
Making you dance all night and I (All night long)
Got some real heat for ya this time (Real heat. boy)
It doesn't matter if you're white or Black (Doesn't matter, doesn't matter)
Let's get crunk 'cause Mary's back
[Chorus]
Let's get it crunk up on (Let's get crunked up on)
Have fun up on up in this dancery (In this dancery)
We got y'all open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me (So you gotta dance for me)
Don't need no hateration (Dance for me)
Holleration in this dancery (Dance for me)
Let's get it percolatin', while you're waitin' (Let's get it, let's get it,
let's get it)
So just dance for me
Let's get it crunk up on (Dance for me)

ABOUT
Genius Annotation2 contributors
A song that’s all about leaving your drama outside and getting loose in the
club, “Family Affair” was the first single off No More Drama. It remains one of
MJB’s most memorable songs and was also her first Billboard Hot 100 single.
Dr. Dre, who produced the track (and who MJB name-drops twice in the song),
makes a cameo in the video at 0:20, 2:47 and 3:01.

What does "holleration" mean?
Genius Answer2 contributors
“Holleration” is an excessive amount of yelling or talking loudly. It’s usually
the result of (or, indeed, results in) some type of physical altercation.
