《Jazz (We’ve Got)》歌词

[00:00:00] Jazz (We've Got) (爵士乐) - A Tribe Called Quest (探索一族)

[00:00:10] Stern firm and young with a laid-back tongue

[00:00:13] The aim is to succeed and achieve at 21

[00:00:16] Just like Ringling Brothers I'll daze and astound

[00:00:18] Captivate the mass cause the prose is profound

[00:00:20] Do it for the strong we do it for the meek

[00:00:23] Boom it in your boom it in your boom it in your Jeep

[00:00:26] Or your Honda or your Beemer or your Legend or your Benz

[00:00:28] The rave of the town to your foes and your friends

[00:00:30] So push it along trails we blaze

[00:00:33] Don't deserve the gong don't deserve the praise

[00:00:35] The tranquility will make ya unball your fist

[00:00:38] For we put hip-hop on a brand new twist

[00:00:41] A brand new twist with the homie-alistic

[00:00:43] So low-key that ya probably missed it

[00:00:46] And yet it's so loud that it stands in the crowd

[00:00:48] When the guy takes the beat they bowed

[00:00:51] So raise up squire adjust your attire

[00:00:54] We have no time to wallow in the mire

[00:00:56] If you're on a foreign path then let me do the lead

[00:00:59] Join in the essence of the cool-out breed

[00:01:01] Then cool out to the music cuz it makes ya feel serene

[00:01:06] Like the birds and the bees and all those groovy things

[00:01:11] Like getting stomach aches when ya gotta go to work

[00:01:13] Or staring into space when ya feelin' berserk

[00:01:15] I don't really mind if it's over your head

[00:01:16] Cuz the job of resurrectors is to wake up the dead

[00:01:20] So pay attention it's not hard to decipher

[00:01:21] And after the horns you can check out the Phifer

[00:01:23] (Chorus)

[00:01:36] (Verse Two: Phife)

[00:01:37] Competition dem Phifer come sideway

[00:01:37] But competition dey mus' me come straightway

[00:01:43] Competition dem Phifer come sideway

[00:01:43] But competition dey mus' me come straightway

[00:01:45] How's about that it seems like it's my turn again

[00:01:46] All through the years my mike has been my best friend

[00:01:49] I know some brothers wonder can Phifer really kick it

[00:01:51] Some even wanna dis me but why sweat it

[00:01:54] I'm all into my music cuz it's how I make papes

[00:01:56] Tryin' to make hits like Kid Capri mix tapes

[00:01:58] Me sweat another I do my own thing

[00:02:01] Strictly hardcore tracks not a new jack swing

[00:02:03] I grew up as a Christian so to Jah I give thanks

[00:02:07] Collect my banks listen to Shabba Ranks

[00:02:09] I sing and chat I do all of that

[00:02:12] It's 1991 and I refuse to come wack

[00:02:14] I take off my hat to other crews that intend to rock

[00:02:17] But the Low End Theory's here it's time to wreck shop

[00:02:20] I got Tip and Shah so whom shall I fear

[00:02:22] Stop look and listen but please don't stare

[00:02:24] So jet to the store and buy the LP

[00:02:27] On Jive/RCA cassettes and CD's

[00:02:29] Produced and arranged by the four-man crew

[00:02:32] And oh sh*t Skeff Anslem he gets props too

[00:02:36] Make sure you have a system with some phat house speakers

[00:02:39] So the new sh*t can rock from Mars to Massapequot

[00:02:43] Cuz where I come from quality is job one

[00:02:44] And everybody up on Linden know we get the job done

[00:02:46] So peace to that crew and peace to this crew

[00:02:48] Bring on the tour we'll see you at a theatre nearest you

[00:02:52] (Verse Three: Q-Tip)

[00:02:52] Hey yo but wait back it up huh easy back it up

[00:02:55] Please let the Abstract embellish on the cut

[00:02:56] Back and forth just like a Cameo song

[00:02:59] If you dig this joint then please come dance along

[00:03:00] To the music cuz it's done just for the rhyme

[00:03:03] Now I gotta scat and get mine underlined

[00:03:06] The jazz the what The jazz to move that a**

[00:03:09] Cuz the Tribe originates that feelin' of pizzazz

[00:03:11] It's the universal sound best to brothers on the ground

[00:03:13] And the ones six below ya didn't have to go

[00:03:17] Some say that I'm a sinner cuz I once had an orgy

[00:03:20] And sometimes for breakfast I eat grits and porgies

[00:03:22] If this is a stinker then call me a stink I ask

[00:03:26] "What What What " - check it out

[00:03:28] All my peoples in Queens ya don't stop

[00:03:29] Now all my peoples in Brooklyn ya don't stop

[00:03:32] And all my peoples uptown ya don't stop

[00:03:34] That includes the Bronx an' Harlem ya don't stop

[00:03:37] Now to that girl Ramelle ya don't stop

[00:03:39] I say because Ladies First ya don't stop

[00:03:42] And to the JB's ya don't stop

[00:03:44] And De La Soul ya don't stop

[00:03:47] To my Brand Nubians ya don't stop

[00:03:49] And to my Leaders of the New ya don't stop

[00:03:52] To my man Large Professor ya don't stop

[00:03:55] Pete Rock for the beat ya don't stop

[00:03:57] Everybody in the place ya don't stop

[00:04:00] Ya keep it on to the rhythm ya don't stop

[00:04:04] And last but not least on the sure shot

[00:04:06] It's the Zulu nation
