Talkin' All That Jazz - Stetsasonic

[00:01.39]Talkin' All That Jazz (Dim's Radio Edit Remixed By Dimitri From Paris) - Stetsasonic
[00:31.5]Well here's how it started
[00:32.59]Heard you on the radio talkin' 'bout rap
[00:34.51]Sayin' all that crap about how we sample
[00:36.7]Given examples
[00:37.61]Think we'll let you get away with that
[00:39.29]You critizie our method of how we make records
[00:41.34]You said it wasn't art so now we're gonna rip you apart
[00:43.98]Stop check it out my man
[00:46.18]This is the music of a hip-hop band
[00:47.93]Jazz well you can call it that
[00:49.88]But this jazz retains a new format
[00:51.92]Point where you misjudged us speculated created a fuss
[00:55.64]You've made the same mistake politicians have
[00:58.52]Talkin' all that jazz
[01:15.55]Talk well I heard talk is cheap
[01:17.5]But like beauty talk is just skin deep
[01:19.56]And when you lie and you talk a lot
[01:21.57]People tell you to step off a lot
[01:22.96]You see you misunderstood a sample is a tactic
[01:25.06]A portion of my method a tool
[01:26.64]In fact it's only of importance when I make it a priority
[01:29.44]And what we sample of is the majority
[01:31.07]But you are a minority in terms of thought
[01:33.39]Narrow minded and poorly taught
[01:34.92]About hip-hop playin' all the silly games
[01:36.86]You erase my music so no one can use it
[01:39.130005]Step on us and we'll step on you
[01:40.69]Can't have your cake and eat it too
[01:42.28]Talkin' all that jazz
[01:58.79]Lies that's when you hide the truth
[02:00.76]It's when you talk more jazz than proof
[02:02.28]And when you lie and address something you don't know
[02:04.68]It's so whack that it's bound to show
[02:06.37]When you lie about me and the band we get angry
[02:08.63]We'll bite our pen start writin' again
[02:10.31]And the things we write are always true
[02:12.23]Suckers get a grip now we talkin' 'bout you
[02:14.4]Seems to me that you have a problem
[02:16.39]So we can see what we can do to solve them
[02:18.43]Think rap is a fad You must be mad
[02:20.20999]'Cause we're so bad we get respect you never had
[02:22.43]Tell the truth James Brown was old
[02:24.09]'Til Eric and Rakim came out with I Got Soul
[02:26.24]Rap brings back old R 'n' B
[02:27.93]And if we would not people could've forgot
[02:30.32]We wanna make this perfectly clear
[02:32.0]We're talented and strong and have no fear
[02:33.88]Of those who choose to judge but lack pizazz
[02:36.95999]Talkin' all that jazz
[03:09.4]Now we're not tryin' to be a boss to you
[03:11.46]We just wanna get across to you
[03:13.04]That if you're talkin' jazz the situation is a no-win
[03:15.39]You might even get hurt my friend
[03:17.54001]Stetsasonic the hip-hop band
[03:18.95999]Like Sly and the Family Stone we will stand
[03:21.23]Up for the music we live and play and for the song we sing today
[03:24.99]For now let us set the record straight
[03:26.9]And later on we'll have an informal and a formal debate
[03:29.31]But it's important you remember though
