DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Trapped on the Dancefloor lyrics

rate me

[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]
