After the Dance

Tell me sir, why you dance your dance?
It is because its comfort soothes you?
Do you think your dance is romance?

May i ask the reason that dance feels so good to ya?
When you hold that dance and entrance that dance,
Would u choose another dance if the dance that you dance did not feel as good as a dance should?
Did you pick a partner when you should have picked a potnah?

Hey brotha, are the shoes that you dance with made to fit you?
Is the fit too small? If you stay in that small shoe, will you be callused?
Are the shoes that you wear too big for you?
You feel they are made for someone else, they don't get you, right.

If you profess that the fit is good Right Wonderfully majestic,
Then tell me, do they draw close to those parts that need binding when the dance gets tiring, too weary?
Do the laces weave in around and thru you to keep you from coming undone?
Are those shoes, those good Right shoes support to your soul?
Can you pull on the strings of your wonderfully majestic shoes and know
beyond a shadow of doubt that they will not fray, unfurl, break?

Is it the right shoe for you?
Is it a ballet slipper when you dance your tap dance?
When you need to don your jazz shoes are the shoes that you dance with combat boots?

Out on the dance floor where you dance your dance are you hypnotized by the music?
Are the beats and rhythms in line with the dance that you dance on that dancing floor?
Does the melody of said music resonate wholly in your being?
Old school, new school, salsa, reggae, hip hop, jazz or blues, sir
Is the dance and the music that you dance to the same?
What is that? You say you dance the paso-doble but the music is opera.
Now i've watched Dancing With the Stars enough to know that you gotta have the right downbeat if you gone do the lead.
Can't keep dancing that dance if the music is all wrong!

It gotta feel good in every way.
Gotta make you feel that thang feel like you don't ever wanna stop movin to its pulse
its cadence The timbre, the melody.
Why mister, if the music ain't in touch with that place that makes the world seem not large enough to conquer and the sky so close you can touch it, then what makes you think its the right music to groove to?
This dance that you love to dance

Will you retire from your dance or do you love her that much that you will never ever never never ever never let her go?
