[Hook]
Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

[Verse 1]
As I'm strolling down the block with really nothing on my mind
Laid back and I'm just thinking of old times
Pop in a Isley Brothers tape and I'm maxing
Peeping through my side view, checking out my waxing
Hey, I gotta say
Today's a good day for me to live around the way (ho)
Time to hit the 6-4
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 1 the 2 and 2 the 3

[Hook]
Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

[Verse 2]
I check my cellular because my beeper's beeping
Booty calls are creeping, fellas on the corner peeping
Me (wassup); time to set it off
And so I pick up my girls and hit the strip just because
Jazz array hey, it's Saturday and
The sun is blazing, it's so amazing
And if you are a YNP
And you're rolling 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?

[Hook]
Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

[Verse 3]
Well, 6 o' clock rolls around and now I'm stepping
Stop to get some dressing, to the mall I'm flexing
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 1 the 2 and 2 the 3

[Hook]
Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

Young nation under a groove
Keepin' it smooth with a jazz attitude
Young nation under a groove
Keeping it smooth

[Outro]
Hey, it's a great day
The lover on the way
Young nation
