Il terzo singolo estratto da This Unruly Mess I’ve Made di Macklemore & Ryan Lewis è la scatenata Dance off, canzone per la quale i due rapper hanno appena condiviso il simpatico video ufficiale.

La clip del pezzo, super coreografata, vede fra i suoi protagonisti come guest star anche l’attore Idris Elba, apparso in American Gangster e in Pacific Rim.

Qui sotto trovate il video ufficiale e il testo di Dance Off di Macklemore.

Testo

I challenge you to a dance off
Hands off, no trash talk, no back walk
On the black top, just me, you, that’s all
No cat calls, no tag teams, no mascots
Right now, dance off
Get down the floor
Get down the, get down the floor, go
Get down the floor, do it
Come on and get down the floor, go

I grab my ankle and pull it up
And do that thing where I move my butt
I got the juice, mother…okay don’t use it up
I say woo there it is, then loosen my tux
Then I shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, to the left
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, to the right
Gimme, gimme, gimme, everything that you got
Dance off motherfucker, do the damn thing right

She got loose elbows and a big ol’ neck
I like a big boned girl who could work up a sweat
I rock shelltoes and a turtleneck
She just wanna talk, I said, “I ain’t TED”
Dance off
Your grandma, that’s a bad mama jama
She doing the banana, grabbing my trunk like a hammock
Mmm, she like the funk, god dammit, she can handle it
She tugging my dick, I’m feeling a little bit inadequate
(Dance off)
Your grandpa got a cock like a ham hock
Hella old, hella long, looking like Matlock
Damn dog, I don’t even wanna have a standoff
He drunk talkin’ ‘bout he ‘bout to take his pants off
(Dance off)
The hater with the macarena
I can roger ride but in my office space
If you watch my pace looks like I’m concentrated
Or constipated when I walk this way

I challenge you to a dance off
Hands off, no trash talk, no back walk
On the black top, just me, you, that’s all
No cat calls, no tag teams, no mascots
Right now, dance off (dance off)
Get down the floor
Get down the, get down the floor, go
Get down the floor, do it
Come on and get down the floor, go

Rewind
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
(Dance off)
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go

I sneak up behind you like a panther
Who ordered the private dancer?
Can I get an amen from the pastor?
[?] want a back rub
You must heard like Grey Poupon
Swag on tap like Sabian
Jump on the tablecloth, fake a fall
Pretend to break my arm then I’m breaking you off
Blat! Please don’t tell my baby he’s mine
I wanna dance all night ‘til the break of dawn
I wanna sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat ‘til your make-up’s gone
Baby girl, you looking like a champion

Hey you, you bad, get up out of your chair
Paid twenty bucks to get in this club, put your cellphone down you square
I be going in, I can’t help it, I got bruises on my pelvis
Ladies, fellas, don’t drunk dial your ex’s
Hello bouncer, I have a job for you
While I’m dancing, watch my shoes
Tonight is he night that we rendezvous
Sweat a fountain of youth, bust a move
Fringe jacket, pants of leather
Tanktop, spandex and pleather
Been a stressful week, I got a lot of pressure
You have a lot of great moves but mine are better

I challenge you to a dance off
Hands off, no trash talk, no back walk
On the black top, just me, you, that’s all
No cat calls, no tag teams, no mascots
Right now, dance off (dance off)
Get down the floor
Get down the, get down the floor, go
Get down the floor, do it
Come on and get down the floor, go

Rewind
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
(Dance off)
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go

Oh Lord, I can’t sit down
Better hold my phone, I’m going for the crown, good God
But I’m confident this is my town
Better hope my feet don’t fail me now, good God

I challenge you to a dance off
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
(Dance off)
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Rewind
Get down the floor
Get down the, get down the floor, go
(Dance off)
Get down the floor, do it
Come on and get down the floor, go
Rewind

ti sfido a ballare di brutto
giù le mani, nessun discorso idiota, non si può fare marcia indietro
sul top nero, solo io, io, è tutto
nessuna chiamata idiota, nessun tag team, nessuna mascotte
proprio ora, balla di brutto
abbassati verso il pavimento
abbassatti, abbassati, verso il pavimento vai
abbassatti, fallo
vieni dai e abbassati, dai
stringi la mia caviglia e tirala su
e fai quella cosa per farmi muovere il culo
ho il succo, mamma…ok non finirtelo tutto
io dico w eccolo, poi mi sbottono il tuxedo
e poi io scivolo, scivolo, scivolo, scivolo a sinistra
dammi dammi dammi tutto quello che hai
balla di brutto, stronzo, fallo bene cazzo
lei ha un gomito danzerino e un vecchio collo solido
mi piacciono le ragazze con le ossa grosse a cui piace farsi una sudata
sto da dio con le adidas e il mio dolcevita
lei vuole solo parlare io dico no, non sono TED
balla di brutto
la tua nonna, è una ragazza cattiva
le piace la banana, mi stringe il petto come un amaca
mmm le piace il rito, cazzo, è brava a tenere il ritmo
mi sta stringendo il cazzo, mi sento un po’ a disagio
