Styles were different, wild with the visions Beautiful songs were made from a foul way of thinking Must be something in the water they drinking That gave rise to some of the illest back in 1995 Respect Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay Yeah, from the home of the Dodgers, Brooklyn squad Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay Ooh, baby, I like it raw Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay Yeah, from the home of the Dodgers, Brooklyn squad Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay Ooh, baby, I like it raw
