Damn. I never knew those were the lyrics. Wasn't this song on the radio?! Sounds to me it's supposed to be about a slave owner raping his slave. I'm assuming that with the upbeat nature of the song and the lyrics that almost sound like they're glorifying the rape that it's all supposed to be ironic. That song is actually pretty disturbing now. Awesome.
