Make your body stop
Strike a love that's so deep
Make your body stop
Turn your head this way, baby, I'm focused in on you
Turn a little, babe, left, blend into the light
I'd like to do you perfectly right
And I want to snap, out, you, strike a love that's so deep
And I want to snap, out, you, 'Cause I like to move thee
Click on over here, baby, the color of your face
Expose your beauty and grace
Ow, out, you, strike a love that's so deep
Said I want to snap, out, you, yeah, hey, 'cause I like to move thee
Come a little closer, got the total view
Like to get and show to you
Your jeans they fit so tight, the camera takes all of you
In my darkroom turn out the light
Said I want to snap, out, you, 'cause I like to move thee
And I want to snap, out, you, strike a love that's so deep
Mmm, the upper persuasion from the lower invasion
Ow, out
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Said I want to snap out, out, you, strike a love that's so deep
Gonna use my telephoto, zoom it in on you
I look so serious too, uh-huh

A shot of you, you sexy thing
And I want to snap, out, you, baby, strike a love that's so deep
And I want to snap, out, you, I do, oh, oh, oh, yi-yi, 'cause I like to move thee

The song "Snap Shot" by Slave appears to be about capturing the essence of a person's beauty and sensuality on film. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to take a photo of their subject, focusing in on them and creating an image that perfectly represents their beauty. The repeated refrain of "Make your body stop" seems to indicate that the subject is so stunning that they render the singer speechless, and they want to freeze that moment of beauty forever.
There is a sense throughout the song that the singer is in control of the situation, telling the subject how to pose and manipulating the camera to get the perfect shot. But there is also a shared sense of excitement between the two, as they work together to create this moment of artistic beauty. The lyrics about the "upper persuasion from the lower invasion" suggest that there is a sexual tension between them, adding to the intensity of the moment.
Overall, "Snap Shot" is a song about capturing beauty and sensuality in a moment in time, through the lens of a camera. It is both a celebration of beauty and a testament to the power of art to capture and preserve it.

Mark Adams was a freak of nature on the bass!! His tone, his ability to make the bass growl and roar like a lion is what got me started as a bass player back in the day!! He was definitely a great funk bass player and he needs to be remembered as such. Rest In Peace MARK"The Hansolor"ADAMS and MARK"Drac"HICKS!!
