CHORUS (x2) / I write rhymes like I come from New York City,
my DJ spins the record down to the nitty gritty my DJ spins the record down to the nitty gritty / VERSE ONE / I got a new understanding of life, understanding my mics, understanding of hype, I got a new understanding of nice, understanding my price, understanding what's right so I write words, write nouns and write verbs, for hustlers, MC's and minors, and I’m finally at that place of understanding and overcame that feeling of an Island when you stranded, I guess it's natural cos no one could have planned it (Original) Homie they call me the Jazz Bandit, one of very few who really do it on this planet, I've been marketed, promoted, I've been branded, Ever since that classic day that my music landed and the people they loved it cos it was candid but it aint like I never ever got slandered, maybe cos I'm young, maybe because I’m right handed maybe it aint me maybe it's something that my friends did, I don’t really care about it, dude I take my chances so while these young girls talk pretty, and these fellas they be squawking and walking around the city, my DJ spins the record down to the nitty gritty / CHORUS (x2) / VERSE TWO / I got a new understanding of beats understanding of heat, understanding of sweet but I don’t really understand defeat and I don't really understand why dudes wanna cheat, well I do, one hundred and sixty, eight hours they weak (week), an eye for an eye or should we turn the other cheek?
I may not find everything that I seek but you may find a lot if you hearing the words I speak, as they flow smoothly over this melodic beat (Fantastic!) Yep and it's so surreal, the kind of music that can make you just wanna chill and do the things you wanna do cos it's making you feel (Inspiration) I built my name on a solid (Foundation)and do it all because there aint no (Limitation) and I'm still representing and still comes together like when I'm building a sentence and still get love like I didn't score in tennis, yeah I'm saying this for all ladies and fellas, so while these young girls talk pretty and these fellas they be squawking and walking around the city, my DJ spins the record down to the nitty gritty / CHORUS (x4)
