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,
Its still the same
We all need a minute to get away
So let it go and feel the flow
If youve got soul, let the world know

Were gonna set the mood (set the mood off right)
Gonna go back to an old school groove (go back to an old school groove)
Gonna rewind to another time
When the originators, innovators were alive, yeah

Here we say now
So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
Your Lady Day, and Coltrane
Turn up your 45s, bring back to life
The sound and vibe of yesterday
Open your mind, enjoy the ride,
Live out tonight and grab that Soul Train

Take it back, take it
Back in the day, back in the day
Oh baby
Back in the day, back in the day
Wont you take me back?
Back in the day, back in the day
Ill do it
Back in the day, back in the day

Ohh yeah

Yall 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
Whats Going On, Lets Get It On
Such classic songs, dont forget them
Though times have changed
They still remain my inspiration everyday
So give it up for the ones
Who came before, opened up that door

Were gonna set the mood

Gonna go back to an old school groove

Gonna rewind to another time
