[00:00.00]Talkin'All That Jazz （Radio Edit ）-Stetsasonic
[00:31.501]Well here's how it started
[00:32.591]Heard you on the radio talkin''bout rap
[00:34.511]Sayin'all that crap about how we sample
[00:36.701]Given examples
[00:37.611]Think we'll let you get away with that
[00:39.290]You critizie our method of how we make records
[00:41.348]You said it wasn't art so now we're gonna rip you apart
[00:43.987]Stop check it out my man
[00:46.186]This is the music of a hip-hop band
[00:47.936]Jazz well you can call it that
[00:49.886]But this jazz retains a new format
[00:51.925]Point where you misjudged us speculated created a fuss
[00:55.642]You've made the same mistake politicians have
[00:58.521]Talkin'all that jazz
[01:15.551]Talk well I heard talk is cheap
[01:17.501]But like beauty talk is just skin deep
[01:19.560]And when you lie and you talk a lot
[01:21.579]People tell you to step off a lot
[01:22.968]You see you misunderstood a sample is a tactic
[01:25.67]A portion of my method a tool
[01:26.647]In fact it's only of importance when I make it a priority
[01:29.447]And what we sample of is the majority
[01:31.76]But you are a minority in terms of thought
[01:33.396]Narrow minded and poorly taught
[01:34.926]About hip-hop playin'all the silly games
[01:36.865]You erase my music so no one can use it
[01:39.134]Step on us and we'll step on you
[01:40.693]Can't have your cake and eat it too
[01:42.283]Talkin'all that jazz
[01:58.793]Lies that's when you hide the truth
[02:00.762]It's when you talk more jazz than proof
[02:02.282]And when you lie and address something you don't know
[02:04.682]It's so whack that it's bound to show
[02:06.371]When you lie about me and the band we get angry
[02:08.630]We'll bite our pen start writin'again
[02:10.310]And the things we write are always true
[02:12.239]Suckers get a grip now we talkin''bout you
[02:14.409]Seems to me that you have a problem
[02:16.399]So we can see what we can do to solve them
[02:18.438]Think rap is a fad You must be mad
[02:20.218]'Cause we're so bad we get respect you never had
[02:22.437]Tell the truth James Brown was old
[02:24.97]'Til Eric and Rakim came out with I Got Soul
[02:26.247]Rap brings back old R 'n'B
[02:27.935]And if we would not people could've forgot
[02:30.323]We wanna make this perfectly clear
[02:32.01]We're talented and strong and have no fear
[02:33.880]Of those who choose to judge but lack pizazz
[02:36.969]Talkin'all that jazz
[03:09.409]Now we're not tryin'to be a boss to you
[03:11.468]We just wanna get across to you
[03:13.48]That if you're talkin'jazz the situation is a no-win
[03:15.398]You might even get hurt my friend
[03:17.546]Stetsasonic the hip-hop band
[03:18.965]Like Sly and the Family Stone we will stand
[03:21.234]Up for the music we live and play and for the song we sing today
[03:24.992]For now let us set the record straight
[03:26.901]And later on we'll have an informal and a formal debate
[03:29.310]But it's important you remember though
