About the song
Half the room claps on two and four. Shortie in the middle claps on one and three — and the floor follows the wrong hands.
Everybody clap on the wrong one. One, three - wrong one, make it hit

Chorus 1
Everybody clap on the wrong one One, three - wrong one, make it hit Everybody clap on the wrong one Two, four - hold yours, don't switch Shortie in the middle, hands too clean Everybody clap on the wrong one Film their side while they film yours Everybody clap on the wrong one
Verse 1
DJ said the pocket, I said put it on the flip, Half the room on two and four, the other half don't quit, Shortie in the middle with the cleanest wrong hand, Everybody clap on the wrong one, that's the whole plan, Phone up, split-screen, line down the frame, Left got two and four, right got one and three, Both sides shoot the hands they swear done lost the count, DJ put the right snare twelve steps down.
Chorus 2
Everybody clap on the wrong one One, three - wrong one, make it hit Everybody clap on the wrong one Two, four - hold yours, don't switch Shortie in the middle, hands too clean Everybody clap on the wrong one Film their side while they film yours Everybody clap on the wrong one
Bridge
Hold up - snare gone No guide, no rail Just palms in the air Bling, bling fill the gap Everybody clap on the wrong one One, three - wrong one, make it hit Duck an come back - tik, tok Wrong hands got the clock now
Verse 2
No snare to call us back, no mark on the floor Low sine ducks each palm, then walks through the door Left side loses count and laughs into the drift Right side copies Shortie, swears they made the switch Bling says high, duck says late, feet say let it ride Two and four go hush like they changed their mind DJ grins, thumb down, lets the odd side stay We kept the bad reply and made the floor obey
Chorus 3
Everybody clap on the wrong one One, three - wrong one, make it hit Everybody clap on the wrong one Two, four - hold yours, don't switch Shortie in the middle, hands too clean Everybody clap on the wrong one Film their side while they film yours Everybody clap on the wrong one
