Pick up the phone call up the line

Call up the re-quest line

Call up the line

Call up the re-quest line

Nana nana nananana na na nana nana

So call up the line

Get down wit, down wit us

This is a re-quest Mr. Radio Man

Just one desire from a hip-hop fan

Hey Dj (You on the line girl)

Hey DJ (On the request line girl)

Play the record by my favorite band

I like to hear my favorite song on the radio

So I called and requested on the radio

Tell the dj spin it on the mix show

Make a brother feel like I'm down at the disco

And we gonna keep it going like crisco

'cause the dj grab the record by the fist full

By the crate full, and we greatful

When you hear the stuff of records get a tasteful

(Last night the dj saved my life)

'cause of the collection of the records he saved

To the direction of the record we swayed

And all night through the session we stayed

'cause you know you got the feeling (All right)

Good god got the feeling (All right)

Touch the ceiling when I'm feelin (All right now)

And I be feelin (All right)

Don't stop keep it goin now come on

This is a re-quest Mr. Radio Man

Just one desire from a hip-hop fan

Hey dj (your on the line girl)

Hey dj (On the request line girl)

Play the record by my favorite band

Turn table lets bless me on my stereo

Play my favorite song on my stereo

Like Macy Gray, Roots, and D'Angelo

Mos Def, Les Nubians, and De La Soul

I like them cuts with the soul and original

Never afraid to be creative on your radio

Spin my jam when I'm cruisin down the bario

Turn my audio up, create a party yo

(Hey dj would you play ma song)

And get ma rock get ma roll get ma hip-hop on

And (I'm dancin) all day all night

Gimme some inside, make me feel hot inside
