歌词
[Intro]
I had a grandfather on my father's side, he is 95 years old.
His great-grandfather came from Nigeria from the Igbo tribe.
I don't look like my mother and I don't look like my father.
I look exactly like my grandfather. I act like him
Do you act all the time?
Not all the time. No.
[Verse 1]
You work all day and men you know
The wheels must turn to keep the flow
[Verse 2]
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
Build on up
Don't break the chain
Sparks will fly when the whistle blows
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, slave to the rhythm
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, slave to the rhythm
Work to the rhythm, mhm
[Verse 4]
Build on up
Don't break the chain
Sparks will fly when the whistle blows
Fire burns
Hearts beats strong
Sing out loud
The chain gang song
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, slave to the rhythm
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, slave to the rhythm
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Slave to the rhythm
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Slave to the rhythm
[Bridge]
Never stop the action
Oh, never stop the action
Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up
Oh, never stop the action
[Verse 5]
Slave to the rhythm!
Keep it up, keep it up!
Never stop, never stop!
Keep it up!
[Verse 6]
Work to the rhythm!
Slave to the rhythm! A-ha
Live to the rhythm!
Love to the rhythm! A-ha
