Back in the Day

What we're gonna do right here is go back

Way back, back into time

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Donny Hathaway, Lena Horne

Miss Aretha, The Real Thing

James Brown, Billie Holiday

Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight

Louis Armstrong, Minnie Riperton

Otis Redding, Etta James

Back in the day they used to say

Play that song, get it going and the band played

And still today you hear us say

Play that song all night long, Mr. DJ

Though times have changed it's still the same

We all need a minute to get away

So let it go and feel the flow

If you've got soul let the world know

We're gonna set the mood

Gonna go back to an old school groove

Gonna rewind to another time

When the originators, innovators were alive, yeah

So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James

Your Lady Day and Coltrane

Turn up your 45's, bring back to life

The sound and vibe of yesterday

Open your mind, enjoy the ride

Get out tonight and grab that Soul Train

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Y'all remember back in the day, you dig?

Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald

Now 'Chain of Fools' and 'Respect'

Was the anthem of a woman Aretha said

'What's Going On', 'Let's Get It On'

Such classic songs, don't forget them

Though times have changed

They still remain my inspiration every day

So give it up for the ones

Who came before, opened up that door

We're gonna set the mood

Gonna go back to an old school groove

Gonna rewind to another time

When the originators, innovators were alive, yeah

So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James

Your Lady Day and Coltrane

Turn up your 45's, bring back to life

The sound and vibe of yesterday

Open your mind, enjoy the ride

Get out tonight and grab that Soul Train

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

So get up, re-live it, gotta let yourself flow

Give up your praise, come celebrate

Just get up, get on it, get yourself on the floor

Don't back away, come celebrate

So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James

Your Lady Day and Coltrane

Turn up your 45's, bring back to life

The sound and vibe of yesterday

Open your mind, enjoy the ride

Get out tonight and grab that Soul Train

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

I said, oh, baby, I said, I'll do it

Oh baby, woah, yeah, yeah

Woah, woah woah, yeah, yeah

Back in the day

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
