Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 2]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude (It's the young nation)
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 3]
As I'm strolling down the park with really nothing on my mind
Laid back and I'm just thinking of old times
Pop in our Isley Brothers tape, then I'm maxin'
Peeping through my sideview, checking out my waxin'
Hey, I gotta say, today's a good day for me
To lap around the way
Ho, time to hit the six-four
And pump the bass at 'em, just to let 'em know
Aaliyah's in the house, so I think you'd better check my flow
Hello, hello
I'm the young nation and young nation is me
So here we go from the one, the two until the three
[Verse 4]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude ('Cause we're the young nation)
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 5]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 6]
I check my cellular because my beepers beepin'
Booty calls are creepin'
Fellas on the corner peepin' me
(Don't set it off)
And so I pick up my girls and hit the strip just because
Jazz-aray, hey, it's Saturday and
The sun is blazing, it's so amazing
And if you are a YNP and you're rollin' with the BGE
Congratulations
I know I got the skills to make you trip
R. Kelly's flipping tracks, so grab a hold and don't you slip
The negative young nation that steps to me gets dealt with
So raise your hands if you're sure
Are you a young nation?
[Verse 7]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude ('Cause you're the young nation)
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 8]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude (Peace to the young nation)
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 9]
Well, 6 o'clock, girls are 'round and now I'm steppin'
Stop to get some dressin', to the mall I'm flexin'
You know to get them funky croaka sacks
Tonight I'm hitting the town, ain't holding nothing back
Hey, well alright, tonight is the night
Well, I'm in the mood for celebration
Or even some jazzy conversation
Hey, it's okay, here I come, so make way
I'm the young nation and young nation is me
So here we go from the one, the two until the three
[Verse 10]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude ('Cause you the young nation)
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 11]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude (Young nation)
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 12]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 13]
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth
[Verse 14]
Hey, it's a great day
The lover on the way
Young nation
