Everybody get up, it's time to slam now
We got a real jam going down
Welcome to the Space Jam
Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam
All right

Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam
Come on and slam, if you want to jam

Hey, you, what you gonna do?
Hey, you, what you gonna do?
Hey, you, what you gonna do?
Hey, you, what you gonna do?
Party people in the house, let's go
It's your boy Jayski all right so
Pass that thing and watch me flex
Behind my back, you know what's next
To the jam, all in your face
What's up, just feel the bass
Drop it, rock it, down the room
Shake it, quake it, space KABOOM!
Just work that body, work that body
Make sure you don't hurt nobody
Get wild and lose your mind
Take this thing into overtime
Hey DJ, turn it up!
QCD, going to burn it up
Come on, y'all, get on the floor
So hey, let's go all right

Everybody get up, it's time to slam now
We got a real jam going down
Welcome to the Space Jam
Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam
All right

Wave your hands in the air if you feel fine
We're going to take it into overtime
Welcome to the Space Jam
Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam
All right

Come on, it's time to get hyped, say, "Hoop, there it is!"
Come on, all the fellows say, "Hoop, there it is!"
Come on, one time for the ladies, say, "Hoop, there it is!"
Now all the fellas say, "Hoop, there it is!"
Come on and run, baby, run
Come on, come on, do it, run, baby, run
Yeah, you want a hoop . . . so shoot, baby, shoot
Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam
Come on and slam, if you want to jam
Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam
Come on and slam, if you want to jam

Slam, bam, thank you ma'am
Get on the floor and jam
It's the QCD on the microphone
Girl, you got me in the zone
Come on, come on and start the game
Break it down, tell me your name
We the team, I'm the coach
Let's dance all night from coast to coast
Just slide, from left to right
Just slide, yourself the night
QCD, drop the base
3-point-1 all in your face
Jam on it, let's have some fun
Jam on it, one on one
You run the hole and I run the D
So come on, baby, just jam for me

Everybody get up, it's time to slam now
We got a real jam going down
Welcome to the Space Jam
Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam
All right

Wave your hands in the air if you feel fine
We're going to take it into overtime
Welcome to the Space Jam
Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam
All right

Hey ladies!
"Yeah?"
Y'all ready stop?
"NO!"
Y'all want to know why?
"Why?"
Because it's a Slam Jam

Fellows
"Yeah?"
Y'all ready to stop
"NO!"

Everybody get up, it's time to slam now
We got a real jam going down
Welcome to the Space Jam
Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam
All right

Wave your hands in the air if you feel fine
We're going to take it into overtime
Welcome to the Space Jam
Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam
All right

    My Interpretation

    This is a great song that I love, and it is very intelligent and poetic. The song uses the imagery of light and darkness to show how people's ignorance and apathy destroys their ability to communicate even on simple levels.

    Its theme is man's inability to communicate with man. The author sees the extent of communication as it is on only its most superficial and "commercial" level (of which the "space jam" is representative). There is no serious understanding because there is no serious communication - "Everybody get up, it's time to slam now". No one dares take the risk of reaching out ("Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam") to disturb the sound of the space jam. The poet's (character in the song) attempts are equally futile ("Hey ladies! 'Yeah?' Y'all ready stop? 'NO!' Y'all want to know why? 'Why?' Because it's a Slam Jam"). The ending is an enigma. The words tell us that when meaningful communication fails, the only sound is that of the space jam.

    One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
