King of Groove
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics

Everybody wants to be a star
Everyone desires to be famous and shine in the limelight.

Everybody wants to be accepted by the mass
Everyone wants to belong and fit in with the majority of people.

Everybody wants to be raging fire
Everyone wants to burn bright and make a significant impact on the world around them.

But their heat don't last
However, most people's desire to be acknowledged and celebrated fades away quickly.

Everybody want to peek into my dreams
People are curious about what I envision for my future or the things I aspire to do.

They try to figure out if I'm just full of jive
They speculate whether I'm truthful about the things I say or if they are just empty words.

Everybody want to ride in my limousine
People desire to be in my company or be associated with me because of my status.

But nobody wants to drive
However, no one wants to put in the work or time it takes to get to where I am.

[Chorus] But I'm the king I'm the king of groove Yes I'm the king I'm the king of groove He's the king of groove (I can't lose) (Summon the royal brass)
I am the ruler of the sound that ignites the energy in people and sets the tone for the dancefloor or party. No one can defeat me and my unique style of music.

Everybody want a piece of the pie
Everyone wants to benefit from the success or success that I've achieved.

But they'll take a pass
However, when given the opportunity, they will not commit or invest in their endeavors to be successful.

If it's a case of do or die
If it's a situation where people must act or face negative consequences, they will not take action.

The greener syndrome is at hand
The desire for something better and more prosperous is prevalent.

We'll kick the feline
We will take advantage of opportunities or use every resource available to benefit ourselves.

Or come forth and take a stand
Alternatively, we can also take a stand and work hard towards achieving our goals.

If you're wishing on a star
If you are dreaming of something greater or hoping for something better in life.

Ooh I pray your wishes bring you To receive the call
I hope that your aspirations lead you to be recognized and celebrated as I am.

The king of groove is going far
I am taking my music and my influence worldwide and expanding my empire.

And in my kingdom there is room for all
I am open to welcoming others and sharing my success with anyone who is looking to succeed as I have.

[Chorus] 'Cause I'm the king I'm the king of groove Yes I'm the king I'm the king of groove King of groove I can't lose, Stand back and watch my moves 'Cause I'm the king of groove I'm the king yeah I'm the king Yeah I-I-I-I'm the king of groove He's the king of groove That's right
I am the unrivaled master of the upbeat and lively genre of music that dominates the party and club scene. My reign is unassailable, and my glory cannot be matched by anyone or anything else.

Well, you've got your this of that And your that of this
You may have other things or people that you appreciate, admire or see as essential.

With the king of groove, baby You can't miss
However, nothing can compare to the power, magic, and influence of my unique style of music.

You got your Joan of Arc And your house of wax
You may hold something else or someone else in high regard, but they cannot match the impact of the music that I produce.

But with the king of groove You'll be jammin' back
However, if you listen and experience the sound of my grooves, you will have a great time dancing and enjoying life.

You got your Dukes of Hazzard And your Duke of Earl
There are other iconic or essential things or figures of culture that people love and celebrate.

And the queen of Sheba, She was one bad girl
Among notable figures in history or culture, there are women who are known for their beauty, strength or impact.

Aretha Franklin, She's the queen of soul
Aretha Franklin is widely regarded as a prominent figure in soul music, but I am not worried about her influence because I am the King of Groove.

But the king of groove Is in control
I am the one in charge of my genre of music, and my beats reign supreme over all others.

He's got the Lord of Lords And the King of Kings
My power and influence extend to even higher beings, spiritual figures who are in charge of the entire universe.

He keeps the king of groove Doing his thing
My power and influence match that of higher beings and help me to keep producing music that dominates the party scene.

You can't stop him No matter what you do
My influence and authority are absolute, and nothing can stop me from doing what I do best, producing the grooves that people love and enjoy.

'Cause you're dealing with The king of groove
Be careful who you are challenging because you may be dealing with one of the most powerful figures in music history.
