Gang Starr - Jazz Music lyrics

rate me

[guru]

The music started in the hearts and drumsfrom another land

Played for everyoneby sonsof the motherland

Sendin out a message of peaceto everybody and

Came across the oceans in chains and shame

Easing the painand it was without name

Until some men in new orleans on rampart street

Put out the soundsand then they gave it a beat

I'm talkin bout jelly rollkingand satch

I'm talkin bout the music that had no match

Yes the musicand it was born down there

We're gonna use itso make the horn sound clear

It's jazz music... jazz music

Yothe music that popsand other cats made

It stayedcause people love when they played

To the northit took a riverboat shuffle

To the big citieswith lots of hustle and bustle

To chicagoand to the apple too

This was a scenethat our forefathers knew

Go get your crewI know they'll get into

The jazz music... jazz music

The music called jazz had the razzamatazz

It had the flavorand a lot of pizazz

The big band beat was very neat and unique

The swing was kingit made you tap your feet

There was benny and duke and of course the count basie

The melody was smooth and yesvery taste

There was hapthe prezand lady day and

Dizzy bird and milesthey were all playin

They brought it to the people of the foreign lands

Back across the oceans and the desert sands

Where it echoes in the distant sounds of drums

And it rises with the sun on days begun

This is the musicthat we give tribute to

They gave it to usthat's why we give it to you

The jazz music... the jazz music

The jazz music... uh.. uh.. uh..
