[Intro]
Tap tap
On the kitchen tile
Got a whole world trippin
On my two-step smile
[Verse 1]
Alarm clock ring
I’m already on beat
Slide in my socks
Down the hallway street
Spoon in the cereal
Shoulder lil’ sway
Turnin’ every slow morning
To a matinee
[Pre-Chorus]
Little lean
Little bounce
Shake the worry
Out the counts
All that heavy
Leave it light
Let the rhythm
Hold you right
[Chorus]
Groove is a way of life
Step left, step right, feel alive
Hands up high, let the day move by
Groove is a way of life
Da-ba-da, ba-da, ba-da-bop (hey!)
Skidda-dat, dit-dit, drop
Groove is a way of life
[Verse 2]
Bills on the table
Still I bop, still I glide
Snap on the sidewalk
Turn the walk to a ride
Grandma in the window
With a chair two-step
Says “boy that little rhythm
Been our secret wealth”
[Pre-Chorus]
Little roll
In your neck
Turn the doubt
To a flex
When the world
Gets loud
Find that pocket
In the crowd
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Scat it out, don’t say too much
Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, feel that touch
Skibba-skee, skee-bop, we don’t stress
We just sweat out all that mess
(Oh) shimmy with the plate in your hand
(Yeah) pivot like you leading a band
Life got curves, we just slide
On the downbeat, we still rise
[Chorus]
