[Verse 1]
Everything must change
But not for me
I still believe in my song
I'm gonna do my thing
I'll never change my swing
In my younger days, the vibe was chill
The music real and I sing
What I was born to do
To make it right for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Check out my joint, it's kinda hot but it's goin' strong
I'll never sacrifice my groove, I'll never change my song
And by the way I'm doing this song 'bout you're staring
What does the music have to do with what I'm wearing?
You wanna see my grooves, I'm sorry that is not for me
Why must you take your mind somewhere it doesn't have to be
Let your focus be the fat sounds you're hearin'
Lyrics, you will see, now, what I'm feelin'

[Chorus]
True to me from my soul
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah, hey, yeah
Crazy grooves, moving flows
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah, hey, yeah

[Verse 2]
Ooh, as the music plays
I wanna sway, side to side, feelin' good
Never thinkin' of the right or wrong ways
On and on and on, my day
Pump this heavy bass
Never stop, keep it up, never change
Soul is where this groove of mine stays
Follow closely in my maze

[Pre-Chorus]
Check out my joint, it's kinda hot but it's goin' strong
I'll never sacrifice my groove, I'll never change my song
And by the way I'm doing this song 'bout you're staring
What does the music have to do with what I'm wearing?
You wanna see my grooves, I'm sorry that is not for me
Why must you take your mind somewhere it doesn't have to be
Let your focus be the fat sounds you're hearin'
Lyrics, you will see, now, what I'm feelin'

[Chorus]
True to me from my soul
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah, yeah
Crazy grooves, moving flows
Can you get with it?
I did all legit, yeah
So true to me

[Bridge]
Hey, believe me, I need it because it's so free
Can't let go 'cause it's got such meaning
I don't need to hear what you think I ain't doin'
I know I got a crazy groove for showin'
Ain't no need in sellin' out with sex or usin' my woman parts
'Cause makin' good music never took away the dancin' and the groovin'
I'm steady movin'
And if you're dancin', close to jolly, see we're always groovin'

[Chorus]
True to me from my soul
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah
Crazy grooves, moving flows
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah (Oh yeah)
True to me from my soul
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah
(Ooh, true to me, baby)
Crazy grooves, moving flows
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah
(You got to be true to me, baby)
True to me from my soul
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah
Crazy grooves, moving flows
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah
True to me from my soul
Can you get with it?
I did it all legit, yeah

Brownstone is an female R&B trio that came to fame in the mid-90’s. The original members of the group were Nicci Gilbert, Monica “Mimi” Doby, and Charmayne “Maxee” Maxwell.

They released their debut album From The Bottom Up on Michael Jackson’s MJJ Music label. It featured the #1 R&B smash “If You Love Me”.

Before recording their second album Still Climbing, they replaced Monica “Mimi” Doby with Kina Cosper. The second album yielded a solid hit in “5 Miles To Empty”, but the group disbanded before a third album could materialize.
