Story Behind The Song
Both artists were disgusted with the vibe of the current club scene. Dance clubs were creating with the intention of dancing. However, most women go to the club to be admired and gawked at, while the men simply profile and post. These emcee's simply come to the club to dance. No alterior motives.
Song Description
Two friends make an effort to get an attractive female to dance. Each friend has a different approach. The first emcee has a smooth approach while the other is a bit more aggressive. They both pull out all of the stops to attempt to get her "off of the wall". Despite their best efforts, she refuses their advances.

Lyrics
I was feeling under the weather spot sunshine
Sundress with a shot glass one lime, I'm
Usually confident, beautiful made me kind a timid
So I raised up my blood alcohol percentage and I represented
Hesitant to grab her arm
Looking like a vagabond, Caliber kills her with the charm
As conpensation for the cash flow
I approach the honey mad slow
Hoping for a moment we could dance slow
Before I could advance yo, She said "No!"
Mumbling something about the clubscene and assholes
Stayed humble extended my had,
So respectful of the fact that I approached her like gentleman
I said that's just how I am, would you consider this dance
Said, "My skirts too short maybe if I wore pants,
Plus the heels make it harder to move"
Told her disregard the feeling only part required is your waist to groove
Grin slightly, feeling she begins to like me
I converse politely, hoping she would like me
But instead I got a hole in my head
Something bout getting out bed and dreading work
Cause her boss makes her fed, dead the converstaion
Had to see if she was with it
Then within an instant I began to feel resisitant
Didn't budge got bored lunging for the dancefloor
She's indulged with conversation, that's not what I'm here for
Therefore, I said I'm about to slide I get the picture
She said, "I don't wanna dance but it's nice talking with ya."
LOOK! Clubs are for dancing coffee shops are for discussion
And if we party now maybe tomorrow we can luncheon
Involuntarily I move when I here the percussion, man
Stand still paying 20 bills for nothing, out of the question
That's regardless of your beauty
You're making me regret that I said pardon or excuse me
Your beauty's dazzling, but I'm about to peel
Too elegant to sweat is something C.A.L.I.B.E.R could never feel
Refrain (2x)
Dress to kill
Low cut chest revealed
classy still you got a lot of sex appeal
but you such a Wallflower you can dance in heels
You trying to chill
I'm trying to see your dancing skills
Quartermaine,
Listen sugar peeped your style a mile away
Gracious I might say exotic like a wild bouquet
I only need your time of day
and maybe a few seconds to display the game
Not in the mood, In the cut you claim you wanna lay
But I don't play this game to lose, Q don't runaway
I stay laced in LO, b boy arrogant pose
Trying to get a last drag off the hash and the roach
My wardrobe it shows that I ain't trying to boast
But hopefully you me and you get to wine real close
most of the time I play it cool,
Don't even stress these shorties
But sometimes you wave hi, they thing you're getting naughty
But you Miss, you're unlike all these little girls that bore me
I 'm trying to get you off the wall and get you on the floor see
It's curiosity that got this cat scheming, Hot!
Under the collar feeling tipsy from the wisky
Maximum return on my interest so my business never risky
Speaking in tongues until you get me
Why don't let me hold your hand sexy
And spin it out-control like a 430SC
I think I see a spot at the corner
So we can work it out sweat dripping like a suana
I wanna push your body to the limit
Repitition is infinite, you gonna dance or not
Let's rock before the song finish
"No!"
Refrain (2x)
Dress to kill
Low cut chest revealed
classy still you got a lot of sex appeal
but you such a Wallflower you can dance in heels
You trying to chill
I'm trying to see your dancing skills, skills, skills, skills
Refrain
