Lyrics
Dance For Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It´s a fact I´ll attest to mess around and I´ll arrest you
I ain´t playing you know what I´m saying?
This ain´t the best you´ve ever hear coming from a female MC
But you know what I mean? (Hail to the Queen!)
This MC stands for "Microphone Commando"
When I command that you take a hand
And throw it up in the air yeah just like that now
Chill and watch me rap cause I´m flowing (Flowing)
Just like water I slaughter (Slaughter)
A battle, put me in it, I win it
The mission is music and rhythm
Rhythm backed by words, all in my system
System by techniques, techniques I got my heart in
Heart into the music, music I take part in
One try, one God, and one destiny
Just dance for me
"Dance to the music" (Repeat 2x)
Now understand that you must (dance) because this is a beat to clap to
My brother Lance said "Latifah you got to make them get up off their feet"
So I put my rhyme to a DJ Mark beat
Ample samples, this for example
Are made by the 45 King, so cancel
Your plans of moving to the front lines
He´s a DJ, producer, and mind you a friend of mine
I hop, dip, and spend with the children
So get down with the sound and you will lend
To let me bring while I bring
Queen Latifah to the 45 King, creating
A new style in the name of the Flavor Unit
That´s the way we like it, so I´m doing it
So if you want to know what the plan is to be
I order you to dance for me
"Dance to the music" (Repeat 2x)
My voice is your choice at a stage show
I do it for the Flavor Unit to make you say "ho"
With powerful lyrics I´m armed
To let a sucker step up and get bombed
By a beat created by my producer
To break you out of the stuff that you´re used to
This here is a moment of truth
So take the record to the DJ booth
And let´s start this, let the beat get dumb
Cause I´m a shake it all night and then some
People dancing, I can spot ´em
When I take control, you know I got ´em
Stop the music? That´s not a question
The Flavor Unit takes no suggestions
If you´re not on the dance tip, here´s your chance to be
I order you to dance for me
"Dance to the music" (Repeat 6x)
