The song "Slave" by VA is a fun, upbeat track with a strong emphasis on movement and dancing. The first few lines of the song are a countdown, setting the stage for the energetic and lively tone of the track. The lyrics are playful and carefree, urging listeners to "go down" and move their bodies without inhibition. This theme of letting loose and having fun permeates throughout the entire song.
The verse of the song is where we get a little bit of storytelling. VA talks about a female who is a "goal" and how she knows it. He also boasts about his own status and wealth, saying that he has "two" and is the "new Noah." The line "Come and take her if you get liver" implies that he is confident in his ability to keep her because he's not worried about anyone else being able to match up to him.
The chorus asks a simple question: "Do you really want to get down?" This is the central theme of the song, and the answer, according to VA, is a resounding "yes." The call to action is to "go down," and not to stop but to keep going around. The repetition of the chorus and the overall rhythm and beat of the song make it perfect for dancing and letting go.
