I'm a Slave 4 U
Britney Spears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too
And I need to do what I feel like doing
So let me go, and just listen

All you people look at me like I'm a little girl
Well did you ever think it'd be ok for me to step into this world

Always saying little girl don't step into the club
Well I'm just tryin' to find out why 'cause dancing's what I love

Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

I know I may come off quiet, I may come off shy
But I feel like talking, feel like dancing when I see this guy

What's practical is logical, what the hell, who cares?
All I know is I'm so happy when you're dancing there

I'm a slave for you, I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave for you, I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it

Baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place
Oh baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, and age
(Let's go)

(Like that)
(You like it)
(Now watch me)

Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

I really wanna dance, tonight with you
(I just can't help myself)
I really wanna do what you want me to
(I just feel I let myself go)

I really wanna dance, tonight with you
(Wanna see you move)
I really wanna do what you want me to
(Uh uh uh)

Baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place
Oh, baby, don't you wanna, dance up on me
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, and age

I'm a slave for you (take that) I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave (it just feels right) for you (it just feels good)
I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it (baby)

Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)
Get it get it, get it get it (oh)

I'm a slave for you (here we go now)
I cannot hold it, I cannot control it
I'm a slave for you, (here we go) I won't deny it, (yeah)
I'm not trying to hide it

@Alice Edgewater i copied this from another comment: She is in a conservatorship, which are intended for elderly people with dementia, since 2008. She has not controlled her own medical decisions, been able to drive her car without permission, get married or even pregnant, or vote in that time. She has been classified as unable to function or make decisions.

Months after being put under the arrangement her handlers had her releasing an album and embarking on a world tour, The Circus Starring Britney Spears. She has been on 4 world tours, performed a residency 4x a week for 4 years, judged X factor and produced 4 albums since then. Why is a woman deemed too sick to make basic personal decisions working an absolutely gruelling load?

Yet, she has not been allowed to have a phone with internet access, email, or make calls without supervision. She is watched by 24/7 security she didn’t choose, and even her children have only been allowed to visit her so long as the conservators are happy with her behaviour.

She has protested this since the beginning when she was held on a 5150 and her father, who Britney says has always been an abusive alcoholic, filed for a temporary conservatorship on the basis that she has dementia. The arrangement is now permanent & shows no signs of stopping thanks to corrupt judge Brenda Penny, court appointed attorney Samuel Ingham, and scummy business manager Lou Taylor profiting greatly from its existence. Most of the entities involved are under investigation for other abuses of powers and people.

Late 2018, Britney was coming off her 4+ year Vegas residency, looking and performing at an absolute peak. She allegedly stopped taking the medications forced on her, so her dad pulled support from her projects and forced her into a mental facility for 3 months against her wishes.

Impersonating Britney on her Instagram as they have done and still do, they wrote a statement that she made the choice to take the time off to help care for her ailing father. Once the information leaked that she was actually forced into the centre, the handlers pivoted and fed the press statements about her “cocktail of medications” becoming ineffective, claiming she was near death, so they had no choice but to commit her. Following the statements, the recent Instagram posts showing her in tip-top shape were deleted, because they couldn’t push their false narriative of her being near death when her feed showed an extraordinarily able-bodied performer with a sound mind.

Britney found the strength to speak out against them in court despite the courts denying her every basic human right and any due process since this entire charade began so long ago. She spoke about being forced medications and having her children used as pawns, begging again for her freedoms to be reinstated.

Ever since Britney spoke out, she seems to have mentally declined at an alarming rate. Britney now rocks back and forth while speaking in her Instagram videos, her pupils are often times noticeably dilated, and she behaves nothing like the woman that owned the world before she was put under these controls.

Let’s remember, she is not in charge of her own medical decisions. She does not control her own Instagram page. She has been gaslight, isolated, drugged, stripped of her wealth and children, for over twelve years.

The conservatorship is currently under investigation. Her doctor passed away days before he was due to give his report on her medical care. There have been no other findings presented to the courts from the investigation yet.

Britney is on hiatus from work as a protest against the arrangement. So, the handlers dug out all her old costumes and props, stuck them in an abandoned K-mart, and are charging $60 a head for people to walk through it. They also release hideously cheap looking but overpriced merchandise at lightning speed. The pathetic and transparent attempt to milk Britney’s legacy for everything it’s worth (with none of the proceeds going to Britney herself) is called Britney The Zone .

Please, spread the word, public pressure is the only thing that could possibly help unwind this.

So, is Britney okay?! No!
