Dance On Me
GoldLink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance on me, dance on me
Break your back baby, just dance on me
Brought your heels to the party
Ain't here to hurt nobody
I'mma old soul and I rap gold
And I got scooped in a 'rari
But I'm a bad boy and you know
Dick game vicious, demolition nigga with a vengeance
Fake fat ass with extensions
God damn pimpin', any other nigga wanna hit this
He goin' have to pay for them titty tig ole' bitties
Yes Lord, can a young nigga hit that?
Can a young nigga do somethin' better but instead
I was trapping just to get that dough
Shit this cool, and you so fine
You so fine I eat behind, between yo' legs
In those jeans, take those off, now watch you spread
You so special and so pink, slightly hairy and don't stink
Lord I thank you for this good food that I'm happy to receive
She got that
You know I want you baby, don't
Ain't no one else above you baby, I know
I swear, I swear
Baby I need ya, I want ya
Baby I need ya, and I want ya
Baby I got it, come get it
Mayne, fuck wit' a nigga like me and shit
I'll make nigga bow on his knees and shit
While I please his bitch, while I cock the 5th
And I take her ass out, go to Saks and Fifth
And I hit my lil nigga, so I get it for the low
And my youngest lil nigga, gettin' back up in a ho
Better gettin' money and bein' an asshole, they can sleep
Motherfuckas' ain't goin' pay me for my doe
Mayne fuck that shit
Rush that nigga, while I rush that bitch too
I don't give a fuck about you
But I do what I see and I do when I feel what that mouth do
I'm a crazy nigga, I'mma start a fire like pay me nigga
I neva' hesitate to straight pump fake
And I might go and just taze me a nigga
Okay my nigga? So pay me nigga
The first verse of the song "Dance on Me" by GoldLink is a playful and sexually suggestive invitation to a woman to dance on him. The lyrics describe his admiration for her and her sexy appearance with her heels at the party. He then introduces himself as an "old soul" who raps gold and got to the party in a 'rari (referring to his Ferrari car). He also reveals himself as a bad boy who doesn't allow boyfriends at his party. The rest of the verse gets more explicit and sexually suggestive, describing the physical features he likes about the woman and what he wants to do with her. The second half of the song is a rap verse that includes references to selling drugs and making money. The overall message of the song seems to be about enjoying the pleasures of life, whether that be dancing or hustling to make money.

Im still comming back to this... One of the few songs that I've been keeping on my list for long enough to care about... It just has that vibe that sometimes i find so hard to get from other music or songs... "And After That, We Didn't Talk" first half is one of the dopest things I've ever listened in my life. This one, dark skin women, the intro, Zipporah went so hard on repeat for too long.
SO from Mexico
@shardaechanel5542
Still not understanding why this song didn't blow up. IM OBSESSED WITH IT.

This feels like... Late 80s and 90s RnB just clashed together with modern rap. I like it... Goldlink salute π
