Chorus:Music evolution changeSometimes the common makes
it sound strangeAdd a little this,
take out a little thatThen you'll come up with jazz
called rapWhere it's at, bring it backBecause it is
an ill format(Repeat)Once upon a time not long agoWhen
all the cats went to hear Satchmo blowGroovin' at a
tempo fast or slowJazz was at a new plateau ready to
growAlso developing ways to make doughAlthough we always
heard no when at a showThe Klan couldn't keep the man
from makin' mo'Better blues,
kinda confused here's the newsThese grooves is better
than your blue suede shoesSome G's are fake and some
will make movesI prove jazz gone up another levelReal
without making a deal with the devilAnd so,
I'm about to let the world knowThat bebop and skattin'
was an old school flowCallaway was a dope MC,
you didn't know?Now that the years gone by some will
tryTry to make that hip hop and jazz thing dieWhen
it was skat before it was rap,
Yo it was flyNow it brings tears to the eye,
oh myI didn't hear that back in the daysI wonder whyChorus:Ennie,
meenie, minie, moLet's pick a songLet's make it long
and add the rap to make it strongAnd if it's wrong,
then I'll chill and let it stopIf not,
then I'll bust chops to get propsTo make sure jazz
and hip hop is at the tip topBut wait,
we must cross roads to get it straightin rhyme there's
a thin line between love and hateSome state rap will
never make it out the gateBut I'm here to cause a debate
and contemplateWhy jazz and hip hop is considered second
rateBut what' the use, if I proceed to break it looseThere's
always an excuse why the rapper gets abuseDon't wanna
tangle because the angle is obtuseSame kinda cas that
was facin' the juiceMy tongue can get necks hung,
where's the nooseMy hypotenuse was to make rap funBut
what I done has put the soldier on the runFrom sun
to sun carryin' weight that weights a tonConvinced
without a gunForget the fame of your name they need
someone to blameFor murder oneChorus
