Lyrics
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 reel 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 opened up and the people all poured in
You're all the prisoners, the DJ is the warden
Your mind is useless, instinct takes control
Jam the techno, groove the soul to soul
You've been arrested, now you're being tested
The beat is a sex fiend, you're being molested
Snare drum kicks like a pistol in your spinal
You gotta dance or get rammed like a rhino
The DJ cuts with a knife like a surgery
Saying that the spice 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, bump, twist and then some
Ain't no law here, you can't protest this
Stop looking around, it ain't no exit
You can't leave 'til the man pulls the needle
Take it as a warning, take heed
Or I'll quicken the pitch and make you dance faster
The drum is the whip, bassline is the master
Temperature's a hundred and yet you still want more
You're a slave and you're trapped on the dance floor
Oh, oh, I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage, I can't get out
See I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused, I can't get out
Now you're wandering lost in the jungle
You came in hyped up but now you're humble
Wringing out sweat from your soaking wet clothes
Your screams for help blend in with the owls and hoes
You try to sit but it ain't no spaces
The floor is a desert, the body oasis
I know you're on my tip for the rhyme I just did
But here's a little taste of my homeboy El Sid
Aight Prince, here's the El Sid's version
Operating on tracks, I'm a hip-hop surgeon
For a jam packed, get away from the bar scene
The strum of the drum will numb and trap you like a sardine
You try to move, no form of escape
The heat brings on sweat to stick on like tape
Party lights are dim, 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 have seen this
Might try to be fly, but still trapped like a Venus
Ain't a skip or a spook, boy you better not goof
You're about to cave in although you ain't no roof
The rhythm traps from all sides and angles
Playing to win, fight, resist, strangle
You can't escape until the DJ's thing is up
So play like a phone or a coat and just hang it up
Speakers pumping out sounds and hit words
Lines between the rhythm designed to equip nerds
You better jam, we don't care if you're hardcore
'Cause we got you trapped on the dance floor
Oh, oh, I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage, I can't get out
See I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused, I can't get out
Me and Prince got together just to kick out lines
No trouble at the party 'cause we strapped with nines
Dance floor secure, don't bother trying to get out
Because before the late AM, this man won't let out
Nobody 'cause he's killing it mean
Got you dancing in the dark, so dress like Springsteen
Razzmatazzpizzazz, about to rip the flesh
It's my man Jaz Fresh
Soon as I walked through the door, I got trapped on the dance floor
I seen this girlie that I never saw, she was looking raw
Came a little closer, then I froze her
Then I dropped the foxtrot so hot that I roasted her
Burned the floor into flames, it's a damn shame
Hard to explain, I lit 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 was trying to falter
Get live, like the Jackson 5, Tito and Jermaine
Add a little Mike and Janet, you can't understand it
God damn it, might thought I was from another planet
Way I'm ripping it, dipping and sliding, slowly eyeing
To what I'm providing, other dancers go and hide
Like child's prance when I prance, but I keep you dancing 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, skip to the new hardcore
I'm Jaz Fresh and I'm trapped
Oh, oh, I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage, I can't get out
See I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused, I can't get out
Next up, step up, just to keep his rep up
The talent he possesses, the best in a contest
Death with his right and left like Jaz Fresh
No other than the brother, the lover, Jazzy Jeff
I'm the warden, dance floor's the state pen
Start serving your time around quarter to ten
Time served hard, the cuts will scar
Your tickets to freedom, yo, you ain't gonna need 'em
Your sentence is 25 years to life
Up there in a pillow is your husband and wife
Trapped behind the steel, the steel and the wheels
Don't come to the party if you don't wanna know how prison feels
I walk strong, carry a big stick
Cell by cell, all packed in thick
When I sound the drum, you know it's time to roll
Might as well have fun, there's no parole
I set a trap and caught you like a mouse
But time's ahead, no chance for a halfway house
Pump the bass in all sections
Prince Sid and Jaz, my officers of correction
Plan to escape the floor, cut the crime out
A 30-foot 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'll give you more
'Cause DJ Jazzy Jeff got you trapped on the dance floor
Oh, oh, I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage, I can't get out
See I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused, I can't get out
Oh, oh, I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage, I can't get out
See I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused, I can't get out
Oh, oh, I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage, I can't get out
See I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused, I can't get out
Oh, oh, I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage, I can't get out
See I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused, I can't get out
