Vinyls been vital, the whole of my life Back in the day, my favorite album was white We'd be play wrestling til it became a real fight And everybody sent to their room for the night Funny by me, I went to study emcees Dancin' in my room, learning how to be free This is the origin myth of the kid It was me john (and the butler twins) I got three feet high- daily, twice Learned every dance step from vanilla ice Right when he broke, before he was a joke Before I had a toke or got my heart broke It was all soon to come, to the sound of the drum All the peeps come and gone, and all I keep is the song And then I push it along, somewhere I learned how to push it along
Just dancing in my room, dancing in my room, dancing in my room all alone
Catholic school white boy, tight black polyesther pants Acting a fool, with a melancholy glance Morning rush, yellow school bus, a couple of us Driver yellin at us, floor covered in mud The floor was wet, I saw a cassette, It slid to the back, threw it in the pack Side b said rastaman vibration I got a better education from that little tape than All i would recieve from my subsequent education A ten year old white boy, thinking he's jamaican Singing ‘chase those crazy baldheads out of town' I didn't even know what those words meant back then, But they stuck with me as I grew to be the man That I have now become, to the sound of a drum
Keep dancing in your room, keep dancing in your room, dancing in your room all alone
My hands would shake, the walls started to vibrate A young boy, so incoherent Put him in isolation, four vacant walls staring Turretts, epilepsy, a.d.d. Whatever you say by me, It's just a young soul finding a way to be free Keep your prozac, no dream, get it out my bloodstream I’m waking up to the vision of one dream And I don't really know how my story's gonna end But all along the way, yellow red brown black or white, Let's all be friends……
Just keep dancing in your room Dancing in your room Dancing in your room all alone.
