Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm-hmm
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Grandma's record spinning on a Sunday morn
Motown bassline knocking through the kitchen door
I got syrup on my plate and dreams on the floor
Every crack in the wall got a story to pour
I used to trace the grooves with my fingertips
Felt the soul in every needle skip and slip
Now I'm carving my own path through the trap
Mixing Motown feelings with a digital snap
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh the past and the present dancing close
Old school honey with the modern dose
Every voice I heard is part of me
Every note that played set me free
[Chorus]
Round and round the rhythm goes
Where I'm from everybody knows
Round and round the rhythm goes
Soul in my blood and gold in my flows
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Let it ride
Let it ride
[Verse 2]
My uncle sang falsetto in the living room
Windows open wide underneath a June full moon
Now I'm in the studio at 2 AM
Sampling every heartbeat I remember then
Clap my hands where the tambourine used to shake
Turn the porch light on for old times sake
Every city block humming underneath my feet
Two worlds colliding on a brand new beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh the past and the present dancing close
Old school honey with the modern dose
Every voice I heard is part of me
Every note that played set me free
[Chorus]
Round and round the rhythm goes
Where I'm from everybody knows
Round and round the rhythm goes
Soul in my blood and gold in my flows
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Let it ride
Let it ride
[Bridge]
Motown morning
Trap night
Two highways
One light
Sing it soft
Count it loud
Same fire
Different crowd
[Chorus]
Round and round the rhythm goes
Where I'm from everybody knows
Round and round the rhythm goes
Soul in my blood and gold in my flows
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Let it ride
Let it ride
