Memories, in the corner of my mind
ย
This is the groove with the smooth sound
Something like jazz, but more like the Motown
A lot of good memories come to mind
When my parents threw parties back in '59
All they had was three things, a party would rock
Hi-Fi, Johnny Walker, and a chitlin pot
Dim the lights, do the move, check the set
Throw on the Motown soft sound of Otis Redding
On and on, through the early morning
Music kicking, and he frying up the chicken
Drunk Uncle Bill, now he wants to ill
Lost in the card game, now he wants to kill
Pop pulled him to the side, tell him, "Yo chill, man
It's all an act, you just want your money back"
In the beginning, he knew he wasn't able to deal
With the action at the card table
Tension in the air, everybody's steamed
My pop break it down with a little bit of Al Green

I'm reminiscing
(Looking back, over the years)
Yo, those was the days, man
(Looking back, over the years)
Those were the days
(Looking back, over the years)
I'm reminiscing
(Looking back, over the years)
Yo, Groove, you got any fond memories?
It's simple and plain
Once you heard the rhyme on the hook, I knew you knew my name
And if you're still confused, then please allow me to explain
You see, I'm gonna break it down, it's me
(Everyone knows it's Groovy)
And now, don't you forget the C, the H, the I, the double L
Well easy if you say it, I mean you can stand right here and spell
Could never be better a partner to rap with
So listen 'cause I'm telling you now
Be successful, the maestro, the one who puts the B in Groovy Chill
Composed together rhythms so the people can't sit still
The intro is over, but continue to listen
As I start reminiscing
Looking back, over the years, I guess we've shedded some tears
I'm reminiscing
Looking back, over the years, I guess we've shedded some tears
In '85 or '86, three brothers sat down
Getting into the mix of the hip-hop sound
There was Chill, there was B, there was Groove
Leschee was on the boards, making sure the rhythm moved
Stanley D and the Body kept the faith
'Cause it took some time to put the rhyme on wax once on the tape
D.L., a definite true brother, deep inside the soul
Had to put him down before the G would roll
And now it's 1990, four years are behind me
And you know it can be found
That the Groovy Chill Posse can never be stopped
See, 'cause now we're rolling around with Uptown
I'm reminiscing
Looking back, over the years, I guess we've shedded some tears
I'm reminiscing
Looking back, over the years, I guess we've shedded some tears
You know what I'm saying, I'm just reminiscing
Looking back, over the years, I guess we've shedded some tears
Crazy thoughts and memories
Looking back, over the years, I guess we've shedded some tears
From the corners of my mind
