[00:00.00]Talkin' All That Jazz - Stetsasonic
[00:23.51]Well here's how it started
[00:24.71]Heard you on the radio talkin' 'bout rap
[00:26.67]Sayin' all that crap about how we sample
[00:29.04]Given examples
[00:30.14]Think we'll let you get away with that
[00:32.26]You critizie our method of how we make records
[00:34.71]You said it wasn't art so now we're gonna rip you apart
[00:37.37]Stop check it out my man
[00:39.81]This is the music of a hip hop band
[00:42.11]Jazz well you can call it that
[00:44.32]But this jazz retains a new format
[00:46.31]Point where you misjudged us speculated created a fuss
[00:50.76]You've made the same mistake politicians have
[00:54.11]Talkin' all that jazz
[01:13.21]Talk well I heard talk is cheap
[01:15.63]But like beauty talk is just skin deep
[01:17.80]And when you lie and you talk a lot
[01:20.14]People tell you to step off a lot
[01:21.84]You see you misunderstood a sample is a tactic
[01:24.22]A portion of my method a tool
[01:26.03]In fact it's only of importance when I make it a priority
[01:28.68]And what we sample of is the majority
[01:30.70]But you are a minority in terms of thought
[01:33.33]Narrow minded and poorly taught
[01:35.10]About hip hop playin' all the silly games
[01:37.27]You erase my music so no one can use it
[01:39.84]Step on us and we'll step on you
[01:41.76]Can't have your cake and eat it too
[01:43.72]Talkin' all that jazz
[02:02.24]Lies that's when you hide the truth
[02:04.62]It's when you talk more jazz than proof
[02:06.36]And when you lie and address something you don't know
[02:08.77]It's so whack that it's bound to show
[02:10.93]When you lie about me and the band we get angry
[02:13.15]We'll bite our pen start writin' again
[02:15.14]And the things we write are always true
[02:17.40]Suckers get a grip now we talkin' 'bout you
[02:19.83]Seems to me that you have a problem
[02:22.28]So we can see what we can do to solve them
[02:24.42]Think rap is a fad You must be mad
[02:26.45]'Cause we're so bad we get respect you never had
[02:29.12]Tell the truth James Brown was old
[02:30.97]'Til Eric and Rakim came out with 'I Got Soul'
[02:33.23]Rap brings back old R 'n' B
[02:35.20]And if we would not people could've forgot
[02:37.99]We wanna make this perfectly clear
[02:39.79]We're talented and strong and have no fear
[02:41.91]Of those who choose to judge but lack pizazz
[02:45.38]Talkin' all that jazz
[02:55.34]Now we're not tryin' to be a boss to you
[02:57.97]We just wanna get across to you
[02:59.80]That if you're talkin' jazz the situation is a no win
[03:02.16]You might even get hurt my friend
[03:04.69]Stetsasonic the hip hop band
[03:06.43]Like Sly and the Family Stone we will stand
[03:08.74]Up for the music we live and play
[03:11.11]And for the song we sing today
[03:13.35]For now let us set the record straight
[03:15.32]And later on we'll have an informal and a formal debate
[03:17.97]But it's important you remember though
[03:19.86]What you reap is what you sew
[03:21.45]Talkin' all that jazz
[03:25.92]Talkin' all that jazz
[03:30.48]Talkin' all that jazz
