Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grips on your waist
Front way, back way
You know that I don't play
Streets not safe
But I never run away
Even when I'm away
I pray to make it back in one piece
I pray, I pray
That's why I need a one dance
Got a Hennessy in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Higher powers taking a hold on me
I need a one dance
Got a Hennessy in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Higher powers taking a hold on me
Baby, I like your style
Strength and guidance
All that I'm wishin' for my friends
Nobody makes it from my ends
I had to bust up the silence
You know you gotta stick by me
Soon as you see the text, reply me
I don't wanna spend time fighting
We've got no time
And that's why I need a one dance
Got a Hennessy in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Higher powers taking a hold on me
I need a one dance
Got a Hennessy in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Higher powers taking a hold on me
Got a pretty girl and she love me long time
Wine it, wine it, and she love me long time
Ooh yeah, very long time
Back up, back up, back up and wine it
Back up, back up and wine it
Girl, just back up, back up, back up and wine it
Ooh yeah, very long time
Back, up, back up and wine it, girl
Ooh, tell me
I need to know, where do you wanna go?
'Cause if you're down, I'll take it slow
Make you lose control
Where, where, where
Where, where, where, where (ooh yeah, very long time)
(Back, up, back up and wine it, girl)
'Cause if you're down (back up, back up and)
'Cause if you're down (back up, back up and)
'Cause if you're down (back up, back up and)
I need a one dance
Got a Hennessy in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Higher powers taking a hold on me
I need a one dance
Got a Hennessy in my hand
One more time 'fore I go
Higher powers taking a hold on me
The song "Dance" by R2bees featuring Wizkid, is an upbeat and catchy tune about enjoying life and love without any restrictions. The first verse suggests that the singer likes the girl's style and is not afraid of the dangers of the streets, which is emphasized by the line "Streets not safe, but I never run away." The lyrics also indicate that there is not much love when they go out and pray for their safety.
The chorus reveals that the singer needs a dance, with a Hennessy in his hand, one last time before he goes. He feels that higher powers are taking hold of him and he cannot resist the temptation to dance. The second verse highlights that the singer wishes for strength and guidance for his friends and emphasizes the importance of sticking together. The lines "Soon as you see the text, reply me, I don't want to spend time fighting, we've got no time" suggest that time is precious and they should not waste it on petty arguments.
The bridge of the song features Wizkid singing about a pretty girl who loves him for a long time and is willing to dance with him. The lyrics reveal that the singer wants to know where the girl wants to go and if she is down for a slow dance. The repetition of the lines "Where, where, where" indicate the singer's curiosity and willingness to accommodate the girl's wishes.
