Muziki

Listen to the music and let the beat

Be the sound that makes life so neat

Dance to it, get the rush and feel the heat

Such an amazing feeling, it is so sweet!

Bump your head to the beat, then some krumping

Music like crunk gives you the feeling of no stopping

Get on the floor, show them how it’s done and start stomping

Express yourself, go ahead pop, lock and drop it.

Let’s go hip hop, the hippy to the pop hop

Then jump, change it and don’t let it stop.

It’s not about you or me or our different tribes,

It’s about you and me using music to feel the vibe.

From the 70’s came a dance called break,

Nothing sexy like the Caribbean shake,

But music and dancing is what you make

Of a personal expression and it’s yours to take.

Ease your stress, let loose and stop whining,

Get on the floor, get with it and start dutty winin’

From the Caribbean island of Jamaica came a reggae theme,

Jumping up and down became the new thing

Then came days we switched it up and brought in ragga,

Dancehall moves then became the new swagger.

Remember when we all were Gully creeping,

Then Serani pulled through the new style of skipping

Sexy moves all over the place, everyone’s grinding,

Music brings us all out no shame, no hiding.

Music is global; from hip hop, genge to kwaito,

Go ahead and mingle through the argentine tango,

Let the rhythm flow through then just let go,

Like some punk, all you got to do is the pogo.

Techno, house all through to trance

Listen to Stromae and Kanye rapping Alors on danse

Make music your love, your new romance

You will only know if you give it a chance

Ever since I was born and through my upbringing,

I loved music coz it gave me an orgasmic feeling,

Such an amazing rush as though my head is spinning

So to this day, I’m with my music and that’ll keep me smiling

Even in church we worship through prayers and singing

Thing with music is that you choose what you prefer hearing

What you pick is unique and is worth sharing

I am me

Through music that lets me be

Expressing emotions and how I feel

Layer by layer I take to peel

Till I reach my inner core in which no one can see

It’s so rich and it’s nothing that you have to steal

It’s free, soothing and perfect to heal.
