Slapbak is lead singer/bassist Jara Harris, rapper/vocalist TJ Quake, co-lead singer Aleida, guitarist Jeff "J-Rok" Harris, drummer M.A.T.T. and turntablist DJ Ruffnek. Jamming in a circle with all members facing each other, they push each other to dizzying heights of intensity. Leader Jara rocks the center, concealed by a cap as he effortlessly sings and serves his bass a serious thumpin’. J-Rok wrings blistering runs and righteous rhythms from his axe. Aleida - eyes squeezed shut – gyrates and croons much `tude over the groove…lost in music. Ruffnek telegraphs beat back-up on a digital pad to his left while scratchin’ up a desert storm with his right. M.A.T.T. straight body slams his kit with a 2-n-4 you can set a Swiss watch to. And “The Quake” - with arm muscles flexing and throat veins bulging – stomps in and out of the circle spittin’ venomous hooks and verses. As an impenetrable cipher, Slapbak hammers out a funk fortified force field that’ll knock the uninitiated to its knees!
The Key
SlapBak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's my day, moving
Come here
I want to play
I like it rough baby
I like it rough, moving
I like it rough baby
I like it rough
I like it rough
Like a magnet
I'll attach
I'd feel the mac
Coming over me
and I'll attack
So I hope you're open
24 hours
'cause I got the power
To do it every hour
Will I take of you
I think I've the sting
The way i'd do it to you
It's so obsecene
I'd drop down on you
It's like loving you
I was only you
You and I too
You gotta put in the key
And turn it over
You gotta put in the key
And turn it over
You gotta put in the key
And turn it over
You gotta put in the key
And turn it over
You're running through my mind
My hands been down my fly's
you see my cause going wild
You've got ........ (?)
That's why it's off my skin
To feel a .... (?) like sin
My heart beats
To every sound you make
when you are there in down
Talk to me
Give me your fantasy
I know you want to baby
To squeeze
And hold me baby
'Cause all i want to do
Is to be in you
And nothing better
Will I take of you
I think I've the sting
The way i'd do it to you
It's so obsecene
I'd drop down on you
It's like loving you
I was only you
You and I too
You gotta put in the key
And turn it over
You gotta put in the key
And turn it over
You gotta put in the key
And turn it over
You gotta put in the key
And turn it over
The lyrics to SlapBak's "The Key" suggest an intense desire for sexual gratification. The use of "rough" and "attack" indicate a preference for more aggressive and dominant behavior during sexual encounters. The lyrics also reference the need for a "key" to unlock this desire - perhaps suggesting a level of emotional or psychological complexity that needs to be understood by the partner in order to fully satisfy the needs of the singer.
The line "My heart beats to every sound you make" could suggest a certain level of infatuation or obsession with the partner, further emphasizing the intensity of the singer's desire. The repetition of "you gotta put in the key and turn it over" throughout the song could be interpreted as a metaphor for the act of fully unlocking and fulfilling the singer's sexual desires.
Overall, the lyrics to "The Key" depict a raw and intense sexuality that might be unsettling to some listeners, but are indicative of the sexually charged nature of the music genre within which the song falls.
