A Slave...

A slave to the rhythm
I am subjugated
being told to nod my head
being told to participate
in the seance of lyrics
seance of choruses
a slave to the rhythm

Listening to the cries of pain, happiness
sorrow, pleasure, anger
the story is all the same
but still I am slave
a slave to the rhythm

Like a sick sadomasochistic episode
I want to get whipped, kicked, punched, hit-- whut
with a hit that will make me bust-- a move
a groove thang
a slave to the rhythm

Different form, styles and types
R&B, Reggae, House, Hip-Hop
I can't stop working on the plantation fields of music
I go until I drop
as a slave
a slave to the rhythm.
