[CunninLynguists - Dance For Me lyrics]
"Dance for me, " someone said
Emily shakes her head knowingly, gracefully
Emily would begin
She was a late bloomer
From Penny to Janet in a blink
Dreamt 'bout being Josephine Baker
In the mink gold make-up like the Sphinx
Skin made to view
Body ornament, performances sensational
From Rhythm Nation to titillation through
Demonstrations of what she's made to do
She always told me that she wanted to dance
The only time she felt worthy of romance
Damn
I tried to told her she was worthy a chance
But, it's hard to talk to
Somebody in a trance
I just gave her a glance
Enough to sang her blues
Be Pablo to paint her moves
Be Langston to name her hues
"Emily dance for me, " someone said
She curtsied and turned her head she posed
With knowledge and grace she gave us a taste
With a look on her face that
Could be taken for dead
"Dance for me, " someone said
Emily shakes her head knowingly, gracefully
Emily would begin
Are we crazy, deranged
To stand up for some change?
Dreams turn to schemes
Which marionette pulls your strings?
Emily's enemy was Emily, feelin' me?
She only lusted the heel-toe
Kick to the symphony and now she justified
Cryin' rivers for sympathy
Which in end she finds out is simply misery
No mystery, her OnStar on destiny's roads
Ballerina wardrobe glowin' under the strobe
Twirlin' amongst dollars waitin'
Under the pole
For a slightly possible goal sometimes
We sell out our soul
Can't help that, errrbody done felt that
Just ask your favorite artist whose heart
Has turned to pitch black
Ask some of these stars where they
Lost they sense of self at
Strictly being puppets in public is a setback
Yeah fam, that's Emily's energy
Errrbody's a dancer, I don't
View you no differently, so dance
"Dance for me, " someone said
Emily shakes her head knowingly, gracefully
Emily, she begins
She makes it rain with her tears
Emily shakes her head knowingly, gracefully
Emily would begin
She was a late bloomer
From Penny to Janet in a blink
Dreamt 'bout being Josephine Baker
In the mink gold make-up like the Sphinx
Skin made to view
Body ornament, performances sensational
From Rhythm Nation to titillation through
Demonstrations of what she's made to do
She always told me that she wanted to dance
The only time she felt worthy of romance
Damn
I tried to told her she was worthy a chance
But, it's hard to talk to
Somebody in a trance
I just gave her a glance
Enough to sang her blues
Be Pablo to paint her moves
Be Langston to name her hues
"Emily dance for me, " someone said

With knowledge and grace she gave us a taste
