[00:00.30]Woo...grand groove, grand groove (2x)
[00:18.15]
[00:20.55]Rough, rough, rugged
[00:22.36]Tough like a nugget
[00:23.22]Listen to The Abstract Poetic, don't snub it
[00:25.70]The midnight marauder is the hype beat arranger
[00:28.21]Don't front on my lyrics or the tool 'cause it's danger
[00:30.85]Hook you like a junkie, you'll flip like a monkey
[00:33.43]To the openness of the rhythm, so proceed because I'm funky
[00:36.02]I get down, down like a fly hooker's panties
[00:38.81]Make you catch a spirit and motivate a fanny
[00:41.14]I be the fly poet, rappers, they get jelly
[00:43.93]Upset when I rock, 'cause yo, they rhymes is smelly
[00:46.44]See, I got it going on like a Forbes tax return
[00:49.00]Listening to these lyrics when it's hot will make it burn
[00:51.48]Baby burn, baby burn, up into the heavens
[00:54.23]The skies up above, the one you think of
[00:56.76]Is the highly regarded, hell of the people
[00:59.40]Your mic and my mic? Come on, yo, no equal (Word!)
[01:02.61]So if ya wanna do it to yourself
[01:04.52]That is to mess around with the jazz, then just blame yourself
[01:07.03]'Cause you made your bed, so now you lay in it
[01:09.69]That's your shit on the floor, then go and play in it
[01:12.41]I refuse to catch a 'L' in a battle
[01:14.91]'Cause yo, I got the jazz and I'll whup a rapper's ass
[01:17.63]Into little next to nuthin'
[01:18.83]Test me if I'm frontin'
[01:20.11]I'll pass with flying colors 'cause yo, I am that brotha that can rock
[01:23.12]
[01:23.48]Who got the jazz? (We've got the jazz) (Repeat 4X)
[01:30.40]We've got the jazz, we've got the jazz, come on
[01:33.46]Who got the jazz? (We've got the jazz) (Repeat 4X)
[01:40.62]We've got the jazz
[01:42.37]
[01:42.55]Come on, come on, Phife
[01:43.81]
[01:44.01]No need for introductions 'cause you know who I be
[01:46.00](The Phife Dawg) Yep, the one who loves to slaugher MC's
[01:48.64]I got style, grace and razamatazz
[01:50.08]I'm like my girl Patrice Rushen, yo, I add pizzazz, now
[01:53.63]Most people remember Phife from the Phife like smoothness
[01:56.55]But now it's time to hit you with roughneck rudeness
[01:59.01]I'm still vexed, fuming, gots to come raw
[02:01.52]The first punk that tries to flex, I'll be cracking your jaw
[02:04.05]I'll mold you, fold you, roll you up like a spliff
[02:06.79]Don't ever try for test or else that ass will get whipped
[02:09.64]I'm forever poppin' junk, it's like a fat invite
[02:11.81]To any MC who wants to flex, yo, we can do this tonight
[02:14.45]Gel up my posse up on Linden and 1-9-2
[02:17.09]Pull up my brothas from Sayers Ave., the Brooklyn Zoo
[02:19.65]All my crew up in Strong Island, so yo, don't sleep
[02:22.23]'Cause it only takes a beat to watch that ass get beat
[02:24.87]Brothas wanna play rough, but they can all get some
[02:27.27]Wanna be hero, but you're a zero, that means you gets none
[02:29.86]Don't ever try to step to a kid you can't get with
[02:32.60]Why mess with a brotha that your girl once slept with?
[02:35.48]I'm a negro, he's a negro, wanna be a negro too?
[02:38.04]But beatin' on a girl, is somethin' that a puss' would do
[02:40.54]I love jazz, but that doesn't mean that I'm timid
[02:43.05]Not really a gangsta rapper but I can swing it for a minute
[02:45.64]
[02:45.90]Who got the jazz? (We've got the jazz) (Repeat 4X)
[02:55.64]Come on
[02:56.16]Who got the jazz? (We've got the jazz) (Repeat 3X)
