Intro – soft piano & upright bass]
Mmm, yeah…
Raekwan in the midnight light…
Tell you ’bout his soul tonight…
[Verse 1]
Raekwan loves his women big, oh yes he do,
Soft and sweet, with a love that’s true.
He don’t need no runway size, no fancy scene,
He said “Give me curves, give me love, that’s my dream.”
[Chorus]
🎵 Ooooh, Raekwan’s got a groove, so smooth, so true,
Bad knee aching but he’s still gonna move.
Color blind eyes, but he sees love just fine,
And every flyer on the corner leads him straight to dinnertime. 🎵
[Verse 2]
Went under the knife, oh that knee was rough,
Doctor said, “Boy, you been through enough.”
But he came back swingin’, walkin’ with style,
Got that soulful strut that’ll make you smile.
[Chorus]
🎵 Ooooh, Raekwan’s got a groove, so smooth, so true,
Bad knee aching but he’s still gonna move.
Color blind eyes, but he sees love just fine,
And every flyer on the corner leads him straight to dinnertime. 🎵
[Bridge – sax solo backing, spoken ad-libs]
“Red or green, don’t matter to me…
Baby, I just see the way you make me feel free.
I can’t see the colors, but I see your shine…
And these food flyers, mmm, they keep me alive!”
[Breakdown – soft scat + piano]
Ba-da-da… ooh, Raekwan…
Flyers in his hand, he’s a hungry man…
Mm-mm-mm, that’s the plan…
[Final Chorus – with saxophone riffing]
🎵 Yeah, Raekwan’s got a groove, so smooth, so true,
Bad knee aching but he’s still gonna move.
Color blind eyes, but he sees love just fine,
And every flyer on the corner leads him straight to dinnertime. 🎵
[Outro – smoky sax + soft vocal]
Raekwan… mmm…
Soul so sweet…
Even on a bad knee, he finds his beat.
