Play It Loud Lyrics

I pledge my alligance,
To rhythm and sound.
Music is my medicine,
Let the rhythm Pound

And play it loud, baby play it loud
Play it loud, Baby play it loud
Rock the crowd, Baby rock the crowd
And play it loud, baby play it loud

I found a love,
It's in the music
Drop all your guns,
Drop all that bullshit.
We come to learn
Inside the instruments.

John Lennon, Bob Marley are my presidents.
The sound of trumpets wake up people laying down,
The drum and volume playin gonna shake the ground
The violins will pick you up when you are down
The melody will spin around and around.
And whos going to stop us?
Whos going to stop us from rocking with a sound?
Whos going to stop us, whos going to stop us
From b-b-breaking it down?
Come on play it loud, baby play it loud.
Play it loud, Baby play it loud
Rock the crowd, Baby rock the crowd
And rock the crowd, Baby play it loud.

Hot beats coming from the city streets,
MP3s via internet from overseas
DJ's playing, you dance to 'em
Swaying, staying up
All night, zombie life
I'll be your delight, Oh.
The sound of trumpets wake up people laying down, Oh
The drum and volume playin gonna shake the ground, Oh
The violins will pick you up when you are down, Oh
The melody will spin around and around.

And whos going to stop us?
Whos going to stop us from rocking with a sound?
Whos going to stop us, whos going to stop us
From b-b-breaking it down?
Play it loud, baby play it loud.
Play it loud, Baby play it loud
Rock the crowd, Baby rock the crowd
And play it loud, Baby play it loud.

I pledge my alligance.
To rhythm and sound.

Where Is The Love? (Feat. Justin Timberlake)

I Gotta Feeling

Boom Boom Pow

Let's Get Retarded

I pledge my alligance,
To rhythm and sound.
Music is my medicine,
Let the rhythm Pound

And play it loud, baby play it loud
Play it loud, Baby play it loud
Rock the crowd, Baby rock the crowd
And play it loud, baby play it loud

I found a love,
It's in the music
Drop all your guns,
Drop all that bullshit.
We come to learn
Inside the instruments.

I pledge my alligance.
To rhythm and sound.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I pledge my allegiance To rhythm and sound Music is my medicine Let the rhythm pound

And play it loud, baby, play it loud Play it loud, baby, play it loud Rock the crowd, baby, rock the crowd And play it loud, baby, play it loud

I found a love It's in the music Drop all your guns Drop all that bullshit We come to learn Inside the instruments John Lennon, Bob Marley are my presidents

The sound of trumpets wake up people sleeping now The drummer boy is drumming beats to shake the ground The violins will pick you up when you are down The melody will spin around, around, and round.

And who is gonna stop us? Who's gonna stop us From rocking with the sound?

Oh, who is gonna stop us Who's gonna stop us From br-br-br-breaking it down?

Gonna play it loud, baby, play it loud Play it loud, baby, play it loud And rock the crowd, baby, rock the crowd And rock the crowd, baby, play it loud

Hot beats coming from the city streets MP3s via internet from overseas DJ's playing, you dance to 'em Swaying, staying up All night, zombie life Audio delight, oh

The sound of trumpets wake up people laying down, oh The drummer boy is playing drums to shake the ground, oh The violins will pick you up when you are down, oh The melody will spin around, around, and round

And who is gonna stop us? Who's gonna stop us From rocking with the sound?

Oh, who is gonna stop us Who's gonna stop us From br-br-br-breaking it down?

Gonna play it loud, gonna play it loud Play it loud, baby, play it loud And rock the crowd, baby, rock the crowd Play it loud, baby, play it loud
