Trapped On The Dance Floor

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
 You're trapped on the dance floor
 It's locked there's no escape
 There's no eat no drink cant take a break
 No seat to sit down you gotta stand up
 The record on the wheel reacts like a handcuff
 Your in a cage and this groove will bound you
 People in the club like bars around you
 The doors open up and the people are boarding
 Here are the prisoners the DJ is the warden
 Your mind is useless instinct takes control
 Jam to techno
 Groove to soul to soul
 You been arrested
 Now your being tested
 The beat is a sex fiend, you're being molested
 Stead drum kicks like pistol in spinal
 You gotta dance and get round like a Rhino
 The DJ cuts with a knife like a surgery
 Sayin that the slice aint nice that's perjury
 The music infiltrates you mutates you
 Grabs you holds you moulds you and let you
 Do things you wouldn't a otherwise done
 Like shake rattle roll pump twist and then some
 Ain't no law here you can't protest this
 Stop looking around it ain't no oasis
 You can't leave till the man pulls the needle
 Take that as a warning
 Take heed or I'll quicken the pitch and make you dance faster
 The drum is the whip, bass line is the master
 The temperature's a 100 and yet you still want more
 You're a slave and your trapped on the dance floor
 [Chorus]
 Oh oh I'm trapped like a?
 I can't get out
 Can't you see I'm trapped
 Can't you see I'm so confused
 I can't get out
 [Verse 2]
 Now your wondering lost in a jungle
 You came in hyped up but now your humble
 Bringing out sweat in your silky wet clothes
 You scream for help, blend in with the? and hoes
 You try to sit but their ain't know spaces
 The floor is a desert, a party oasis
 I know your on the tip for the rhyme I just did
 And here's a little taste of my homeboy, El Sid
 Ay a prince it's the El Sid's version
 I'm a raid on the track, I'm a hip-hop surgeon
 The floor is jam packed get away from the bar scene
 The strum of the drum has you trapped like a sardine
 You try to move no form of escape
 The heat brings on sweat, stick on like tape
 Party's like a?
 Girls slim and trim on the floor
 Don't try to shoot for the door
 This ain't the gym
 The party goers every night had a scene
 This mic try to respond but still trapped like in Venus
 Aint a spiff or a spoof
 Boy you better not goof
 You about to cave in although you ain't on a roof
 The rhythm track from offside's to angles
 Playing the wimp fight resist ... strangle
 You can't escape until the DJ's fingers up
 So play like a phone or coat and just hang it up
 The speakers pumping out sounds and hip words
 Lines between the rhythm designed to equip nerds
 You better jam we don't care if you hardcore
 Cause we got you trapped on the dance floor
 [Chorus 2x]
 [Verse 3]
 Me and prince got together just to kick our lines
 No trouble at the party cause we're strapped with nines
 Dance floor secure, don't bother tryin to get out
 You looking for the late AM this man pull red out
 Nobody cause killing is mean
 Got ya dancin' in the dark and dressed like Springsteen
 Razzamatazz a pasazz about to rip the flesh is my man Jazz Fresh
 Soon as I worked through the door
 I got trapped on the dance floor
 See this girlie that I never saw
 She was looking raw
 Came a little closer
 Then I opposed her
 Then I drop the fox trot so hot that I roast her
 ? planes in the damn chain
 hard to explain
 I did it up like I was straight outta Soul Train
 Listen as I discuss this yo bust this
 Like a hammer before me you cant touch this
 Trapped on the floor like a vulture
 Part of my culture
 You may even thought I was drived to faulter
 Get live like a? jack that fives you the window main?
 Add a little mic and janet you cant understand it
 Cause? thought I was from another planet
 Way of whipping and dipping
 And sliding? of what I'm providin
 Other dancers go and hide
 Like Charles?
 I'm prancin
 I keep the dance all night until
 The party's over the party's over
 Like a cowboy at a rodeo
 From mister mister dosie doe
 Around the dance floor
 Steppin the new hardcore
 I'm Jazz Fresh and I'm trapped
 [Chorus]
 [Verse 4]
 Max up to step up
 just to keep this rap up
 the time that he possesses the best in a contest
 Jeff with his right and left like Jazz Fresh
 No other than the brother the lover Jazzy Jeff
 I'm the one dance floor at the station
 ? time around quarter to ten
 times work hard
 the customers scarred
 your tickets to freedom
 yo you ain't gonna need em
 your sentence is 25 years to life
 a? is your husband and wife
 trapped behind the steel
 the steel of the wheels
 don't come to the party if you don't wanna know how business feels
 I walk strong carry a big stick
 Sell myself all packed and thick
 When they sound the drum you know its time to roll
 Might as well have fun there's no parol
 I set a trap and caught you like a mouse
 For times ahead no chance for a halfway house
 Pump the bass in all sections
 Prince, sid, and jazz my officers of correction
 Cant' escape the floor cut the crime out
 ? wall ain't no use tryin to climb out
 cause I'm running this show and it's live in here
 you try to escape another five years
 I got you trapped and I'm your savior
 You dance real hard you might get out on good behavior
 But if you don't I give you more
 'Cause DJ Jazzy Jeff got you trapped on the dance floor
 [Chorus 2x]
