lyrics

CHORUS / Jazz (x4) / VERSE ONE / When it's asked what they know of me I tell them it's jazz, flowing smoothly on a rhythm even though it moves fast, listen to the bass roll while the Saxophone blasts, while the others make their replica's that's not in my class, beats, beats, rhymes, rhymes cos it's still in my blood, yeah I do it for the money not forgetting the love, yeah I do it for the honeys that be up in the club and I'm repping for them backpack dudes and them thugs who be jumping all around just like the House of Pain, or they chillin' with their Shorty bumping John Coltrane, this a smooth rendition of just how we get down, call it what you want but this is an intelligent sound, Yo the beats on fire so I guess that it's hot and it may sound simple but I tell you its not, this is verse one over yo I finished my task, let the Saxophone run over this thing called Jazz / VERSE TWO / Verse T.W.O continue the flow, this is eloquent music for the people who know, this is hip-hop back into the Golden Era, everybody that I talk to say they know it's much better than the corny 808's that they put on a Synth, then they think that it's a hit but yo they living a myth, I create the kind of music from the raw ideas that will keep the people coming back for many a year, people hit me on the email and they tell me I'm ill, cos I got the kind of records that allow you to chill and I got the kind of music that will thought provoke, when the beats start banging you can smell all the smoke, Real music, it's found in the dustiest breaks, from the dustiest of records in the dustiest crates, Now its verse two over, I've completed my task, so turn this Saxophone backwards on this thing we call Jazz / BREAKDOWN / VERSE 3 / Now this is the final lap and I'm seeing the end and I refuse to settle for any less than a ten and I put the word Classic in the music I make in the lyrics that I quote and in the beats I create, people tell me it reminds them of A Tribe Called Quest, well that's cool cos that reminds me I'm not far from the best and I have to thank God for my musical spirit, when its playing on a record in my mind it sounds different, see there's something kind of different about the way that I do it, it's a certain kind of flow that's a reflection of fluid and some people may not understand the style that I got, especially if they are only used to listening to pop but I still stick to it homie nevertheless and I make it sound tidy homie never a mess this is verse three over, yo I finished my task so let the Saxophone blast in this thing we call Jazz / CHORUS
