In The Beginning
Chuck Roberts Lyrics

In the beginning there was Jack
At the start, there was an embodiment of the spirit of house music named Jack.

And Jack had a groove.
Jack had an innate rhythm that defined not just his life, but the essence of what would become house music.

And from this groove
The style of music that would soon be called house was born from Jack's unique groove.

Came the grooves of all grooves
House music became the epitome of groovy music, and all other groovy music was influenced by the style created by Jack and those like him.

And while one day vicously throwing down on his box
While passionately playing his music to the audience, Jack suddenly had an epiphany.

Jack boldly declared, let there be house.
Jack declared to the world that his music style was not just another genre, but something completely new and revolutionary - house music.

And house music was born.
Thus, the genre of house music was created and the world would never be the same again.

I am u see, I am the creator and this is my house.
The artist of the song, perhaps an embodiment of the spirit of house music, claims to be the creator of the genre and the owner of the house where it is played.

And in my house there was only house music
House music is the only style of music allowed in the house that the artist owns.

But i am not so selfish,
The artist claims to share the spirit of house music with everyone who enters the house, implying that house music is for everyone and not just for the creator.

Because once you enter my house
Once people immerse themselves in the sound and rhythm of house music, they are part of the culture and community of house music.

It then becomes our house and our house music
The ownership of the house and the music played in it is shared by those who embrace the spirit of house music.

And you see no ONE man ownes house

House music is a genre of music that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries, and can be appreciated by anyone who is open to it.

Spoken and understood by all
Just like any other universal language, house music can be spoken and comprehended by anyone who has an ear for its rhythm and melody.

You see House is a feeling
The essence of house music is not just in its sound, but in the emotions and feelings that it evokes.

That no one can understand really
Despite people's attempts to explain the allure of house music, it remains something that is best experienced and felt rather than described.

Unless you are deep in to the vibe of house
Only those who are fully immersed in the energy and essence of house music can truly appreciate and understand its power.

House is a uncontrolable desire to jack your body
House music creates an irresistible urge to move one's body in a rhythmic and ecstatic way, a desire that is difficult to resist.

And as i told you before
The artist reiterates his earlier statement about the ownership and universality of house music.

This is our house and our house music
House music is not just a genre of music, but a way of life and the embodiment of the spirit of those who embrace it.
