Grand Groove by Us3
Since before my adolescence remembrance of you
commences
Will never forget how you taught a scrub to catch and
connect with pitchin'
We'd sit and watch the Mets and Yankees
As bad as I was, can't remember if ya spanked me
While babysittin' this nigga, you became a father
figure
Mowed the lawn with ya whenever
Bourbon was your liquor
Who'd figure the strongest man I knew could have a bad
ticker
And the last time we'd see each other was Christmas '95
Without ever havin' a chance to say goodbye
You left the summer of '96, the 1st of July
Now reside in peace, released from all the pressure and
pain
Your grandson proclaims the name Nelson forever reigns
(chorus)
Grand groove, King of my crew
Grand groove, I dedicate this to you
You moved from Queens to Tennessee when in my mid-
teens, later Atlanta
Adopted Eileen when she was umpteen
Provided cream for your fam for years, retired
Now I understand what it is to be a man upon this
planet
