Lyrics

(Am)Grips on your waist, front way, back way, you know that I don’t play.

(Dm)Streets not safe, but I nev er run a way, e ven when I’m a way.

(Am)O T, O T, there’s nev er much (C)love when we go O T.

I pray to make it back in one piece.

I pray, I pray.

That’s why (Am)I need a one dance, got a Hen nes (C)sy in my hand.

One more (Dm)time ’fore I go, high er pow ers tak ing a hold on me.

(Am)I need a one dance, got a Hen nes (C)sy in my hand.

One more (Dm)time ’fore I go, high er pow ers tak ing a hold on me.

Ba by,

I like your style.

One Dance — Visual Piano Sheet Music

65 people have learned this song

"One Dance" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of A, 104 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with three closely related chords — Am, C, and Dm — while your left hand holds a steady pedal bass note that anchors the whole groove.

Start hands-separate: get your right hand comfortable moving between those three shapes first, paying attention to the Am-to-Dm shift where your fingers need to reposition cleanly without hesitation.

At 104 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the hip-hop feel relies on keeping your rhythm locked in and even, so practise with a metronome before you speed up.

Your left hand's repeating pedal pattern should feel almost automatic — if it doesn't yet, loop just the left hand until it's effortless.

The trickiest moment for most students is the C-to-Dm transition mid-phrase; slow that spot down and nail the fingering before playing through.

This is the piece that'll make minor-chord voice leading feel like second nature.
