《Talkin’ All That Jazz(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Talkin' All That Jazz (LP版) - Stetsasonic

[00:00:23] Well here's how it started

[00:00:24] Heard you on the radio

[00:00:25] Talking 'bout rap

[00:00:26] Sayin' all that crap about how we sample

[00:00:29] Given examples

[00:00:30] Think we'll let you get away with that

[00:00:32] You critizie our method of how we make records

[00:00:34] You said it wasn't art so now we're gonna rip you apart

[00:00:37] Stop check it out my man

[00:00:40] This is the music of a hip-hop band

[00:00:42] Jazz well you can call it that

[00:00:44] But this jazz retains a new format

[00:00:46] Point where you misjudged us

[00:00:49] Speculated created a fuss

[00:00:50] You've made the same mistake politicians have

[00:00:54] Talking all that jazz

[00:01:13] Talk well I heard talk is cheap

[00:01:15] But like beauty talk is just skin deep

[00:01:18] And when you lie and you talk alot

[00:01:20] People tell you to step off alot

[00:01:21] You see you misunderstood

[00:01:23] A sample is a tactic

[00:01:24] A portion of my method a tool

[00:01:26] In fact it's only of importance when I make it a priority

[00:01:28] And what we sample of is the majority

[00:01:31] But you are a minority in terms of thought

[00:01:33] Narrow minded and poorly taught

[00:01:35] About hip-hop playing all the silly games

[00:01:37] You erase my music so no one can use it

[00:01:40] Step on us and we'll step on you

[00:01:42] Can't have your cake and eat it too

[00:01:43] Talking all that jazz

[00:02:02] Lies that's when you hide the truth

[00:02:04] It's when you talk more jazz than proof

[00:02:06] And when you lie and address something you don't know

[00:02:08] It's so whack that it's bound to show

[00:02:11] When you lie about me and the band we get angry

[00:02:13] We'll bite our pen start writin' again

[00:02:15] And the things we write are always true

[00:02:17] Suckers get a grip now we talking 'bout you

[00:02:19] Seems to me that you have a problem

[00:02:22] So we can see what we can do to solve them

[00:02:24] Think rap is a fad you must be mad

[00:02:26] 'Cause we're so bad we get respect you never had

[00:02:29] Tell the truth james brown was old

[00:02:31] 'Til eric and rakim came out with I got soul

[00:02:33] Rap brings back old r&b

[00:02:35] And if we would not people could've forgot

[00:02:37] We wanna make this perfectly clear

[00:02:39] We're talented and strong and have no fear

[00:02:42] Of those who choose to judge but lack pizazz

[00:02:45] Talking all that jazz

[00:02:55] Now we're not tryin' to be a boss to you

[00:02:57] We just wanna get across to you

[00:02:59] That if you're talking jazz the situation is a no-win

[00:03:02] You might even get hurt my friend

[00:03:04] Stetsasonic the hip-hop band

[00:03:06] Like sly and the family stone we will stand

[00:03:08] Up for the music we live and play

[00:03:11] And for the song we sing today

[00:03:13] For now let us set the record straight

[00:03:15] And later on we'll have an informal and a formal debate

[00:03:18] But it's important you remember though

[00:03:19] What you reap is what you sew

[00:03:21] Talking all that jazz

[00:03:26] Talking all that jazz

[00:03:30] Talking all that jazz
