Trapped on the Dancefloor

[Verse 1: The Fresh Prince]

You're trapped on the dance floor

It's locked there's no escape

There's no eat no drink can't take a break

No seat to sit down you gotta stand up

The record on the wheel reacts like a handcuff

You're 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 pulled in

Here are the prisoners the DJ is a warden

Your mind is useless instinct takes control

Jam to techno groove to soul to soul

You been arrested, now you're being tested

The beat is a sex fiend, you're being molested

Snare drum kicks like pistol in spinal

You gotta dance and get rammed like a rhino

The DJ cuts with a knife like a surgery

Sayin that the slice ain't nice that's perjury

The music infiltrates you and takes you

Grabs you holds you molds you and makes you

Do things you wouldn't have otherwise done

Like shake rattle roll pump twist and then some

Ain't no law here you can't protest this

Stop looking around, there ain't no exits

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

Temperature's hotter and yet you still want more

You're a slave and you're trapped on the dance floor

[Chorus]

Oh oh I'm trapped like a fool I'm in a cage

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

Now you're wandering lost in a jungle

You came in hyped up but now you're humble

Bringing out sweat in your silky wet clothes

You scream for help, blend in with the "ow"s and "ho"s

You try to sit but there ain't no spaces

The floor is a desert, a body oasis

I know you're on the tip for the rhyme I just did

But here's a little taste of my homeboy, El Sid

[Verse 2: 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 pimp

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

They might try to be fly but still trapped like Venus

Ain't 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 banger's 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]

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 trying to get out

You looking for the late AM this man won't let out

Nobody cause killing is mean

Got ya dancing in the dark and dressed like Springsteen

Razzamatazz a pizazz about to rip the flesh is my man Jazz Fresh

[Verse 3: 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 approached her

Then I drop the fox trot so hot that I roast her

Break the floor into flames it's the damn shame

Hard to explain

I did it up like I was straight out of Soul Train

Listen as I discuss this yo bust this

Like Hammer in front of a camera, you can't touch this

Trapped on the floor like a vulture

Part of my culture

You might even thought I would drive to falter

Get live like the Jackson Five, Tito and Jermaine

Add a little Mike and Janet you can't understand it

Cause ham and Mike??? thought I was from another planet

Way I'm whipping and dipping

And sliding and slowly guiding to what I'm providing

Other dancers go and hide

Like Charles Manson

I'm prancin'

I keep you dancin' all night until

The party's over the party's over

Like a cowboy at a rodeo

Commence to make you do-si-do

Around the dance floor

Step to the new hardcore

I'm Jazz Fresh and I'm trapped

[Chorus]

Next up to step up

Just to keep this rep up

The time that he possesses the best in a contest

Def with his right and left like Jazz Fresh

No other than the brother the lover Jazzy Jeff

[Verse 4: DJ Jazzy Jeff]

I'm the one dance floor at the station

??? time around quarter to ten

Time served hard

The customers scarred

Your tickets to freedom

Yo you ain't gonna need 'em

Your sentence is 25 years to life

A bed and a pillow 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 prison feels

I walk strong carry a big stick

Sell myself all packed in thick

When they sound the drum you know its time to roll

Might as well have fun there's no parole

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

Can't escape the floor cut the crime out

Fortified wall ain't no use trying 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]
