As a child I would dance about the house when no one was watching. Then I grew up and lost the feeling. Thankful I’ve found my inner child again...

lyrics

I dance at night
In a basement
Music pounding
Soca vibrations sounding
Sweet to the taste
Sweets provoke my waist
Sweat drips down
Body strips down
Towels wait behind the door
Cause I aim to leave it
All on this makeshift dance floor

After midnight
In the darkness
It’s only me
And the drums
And the bass
And the horns
And the keys
Chords and chorus
Rhymes created for us
And that church organ
Jamming in the background

This House hypnotizes me
This Reggae symphony
Baptizes me in the river
In the track
In the groove
In the pocket
Socket to me now
Pause cause
I need to breathe...

Eyes closed
Loop me...
Chest exposed
Sample me...
Arms flailing
Remix me...
Muscles wailing
Remake me...
Feet stomping
Rewind me...
Hips gyrating
Replay me...
Speakers thumping
Over and over and over again...
Mouth open
Loop me...
Lips smiling
Sample me...
Heartbeat racing
Faster and faster

Gods of Funk
Voices chanting rhythms
Visions
Speaking in tongues
Lyrical phenomenons
Spirit of Shango
Lightning and thunder
Afro beat beneath my feet
Turn the dial left 4
Higher bandwidths
Higher frequencies
Higher planes

Villages of ancestral domains
Calling forth the rains
Come forth
Come now
Fall down &
Water this parched earth
with...

Peace.
