Q-tip:
Woo...grand groovegrand groove (2x)
Roughroughrugged
Tough like a nugget
Listen to the abstract poeticdon't snub it
The midnight marauder is the hype beat arranger
Don't front on the lyrics or the two cuz it's danger
Hook you like a junkieyou'll flip like a monkey
To the openness of the rhythmso proceed because I'm funky
I get downdown like a fly hooker's panties
Make you catch a spirit and motivate a fanny
I be the fly poetrappersthey get jelly
Upset when I rockcuz yothey beats is smelly
SeeI got it goin on like a forbes tax return
Listenin to these lyrics when it's hot will make it burn
Baby burnbaby burnup into the heavens
The skies up abovethe one you think of
Is the highly regardedhell of the people
Your mic and my mic? come onyono equal
So if ya wanna do it to yourself
That is to mess around with the jazzthen just blame yourself
Cuz you made your bedso now you lay in it
That's your (shit) on the floorthen go and play in it
I refuse to catch a 'l' in a battle
Cuz yoI got the jazz and I'll whup a rapper's (ass)
Into little next to nuthin
Test me if I'm frontin
I'm passin flyin colors cuz yo...
Chorus (q-tip):
Who got the jazz? (we've got the jazz) (7x)
We've got the jazz
Come on
Come onphife
Phife:
No need for introductions cuz you know who I be (the phife dawg)
Yepthe one who loves to slaugher mcs
I got stylegrace and razamatazz
I'm like my girl patrice rushenyo
I add pizazznow
Most people remember phife from the phife like smoothness
But now it's time to hit you with roughneck rudeness
I'm still vexedfuminggots to come raw
The first punk that tries to flexI'll be cracking your jaw
I'll mold youfold youroll you up like a spliff
Don't ever try to test or else that (ass) will get whipped
I'm forever poppin junkit's like a fat invite
To any mc who wants to flexyowe can do this tonight
Gel up my posse up on linden and 1-9-2
Pull up my brothas from sayers ave.the brooklyn zoo
All my crew up in strong islandso yodon't sleep
Cuz it only takes a peek to watch that (ass) get beat
Brothas wanna play roughbut they can all get some
Wanna be herobut you're a zerothat means you gets none
Don't ever try to step to a kid you can't get with
Why mess with a brotha that your girl once slept with?
I'm a negrohe's a negrowanna be a negro too?
But beatin on a womanis somethin that a puss would do
I love jazzbut that doesn't mean that I'm timid
Not really a gangsta rapper but I can swing it for a minute
Q-tip:
Who got the jazz? (we've got the jazz) (3x)

Who got the jazz? (we've got the jazz) (3x)
Come on
