BUCKSHOT LEFONQUE - Music Evolution lyrics

rate me

Cause you have a good shinin' man

Do what you can

Once upon a time not long ago

When all the cats went to hear Satchmo blow

Groovin' at a tempo fast or slow

Jazz was at a new plateau ready to grow

Also

Developin' ways to make dough

Although

We always heard no when at a show

The Klan couldn't keep the man from makin' mo'

Better Blues

Kinda confused here's the news

These grooves is better than your blue suede shoes

Some G's are fake and some will make moves

I prove

Jazz gone up another level

Real without making a deal with the devil

And so

I'm about to let the world know

That bebop and skattin' was an old school flow

Callaway was a dope MC, you didn't know?

Now that the years gone by some will try

Try to make that hip hop and jazz thing die

When it was skat before it was rap,

Yo it was fly

Now it brings tears to the eye, oh my

I didn't hear that back in the days

I wonder why

Ennie, meenie, minie, mo

Let's pick a song

Let's make it long

And add the rap to make it strong

And if it's wrong

Then I'll chill and let it stop

If not, then I'll bust chops to get props

To make sure jazz and hip hop is at the tip top

But wait

We must cross roads to get it straight

In rhyme there's a thin line between love and hate

Some state

Rap will never make it out the gate

But I'm here to cause a debate and contemplate

Why jazz and hip hop is considered second rate

But what' the use

If I proceed to break it loose

There's always an excuse why the rapper gets abuse

Don't wanna tangle

Because the angle is obtuse

Same kinda case that was facin' the Juice

My tongue can get necks hung

Where's the noose

My hypotenuse was to make rap fun

But what I done

Has put the Soldier on the run

From sun to sun

Carryin' weight that weights a ton

Convinced without a gun

Forget the fame of your name

They need someone to blame for murder one
