Jazz Cats Pt. 1

Yo, I be getting lit listening to Sun Ra

Early George Benson on down the Hampton Hall

Steve Cole, George Cables all up in the Rhodes

See the Walt and Herbie Hancock drop the heavy load

Gene Harris and the Three Sounds for soul jazz listeners

Bobby Hutcherson up late geared to the Jazz Messengers

Horace Silver, Bill Evans to Terry Gibbs on the vibe

Gary Burton and album archives

Like Donald Byrd George Duke and Lee Morgan

Shirley Scott, Groove Holmes and Jimmy Smith up on the organ

Gene Russell, the artist symbol of Chicago

Inivators like Michael White push out the Cal Tjader

Classic shit like Weather Report or Max Roach

Laid back like Freddie Hubbard trumpet notes

Cannonball Adderley, Eddie Harris, Mill Jackson

Like Ron Carter's bass lines will beat you like a backspin

Yeah, like a backspin

We got the jazz, my man

Yo, who's got skills like Rahsaan Roland Kirk

Or conduct like William Fisher, go to work with the swisher

Up and John Coltrane up in my headphones

Gary Bartz, Mister Rub produce Lovetones

Even Cool and the Gang got jazz for that ass

Modern Jazz Quartet always got the A class

Johnny Hammis met Carl Sanders

Paul Bley, Thelonious Monk, Norman Conners

Albert Ayler, John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner

Dizzy Gillespie is presented by Don Sebesky

I be cranking mad jack, got mad stacks of cool-out

You know we pull the smoke tool out

I give props to Bluenote and Black Jazz

Impulse, CTI records and Plusga

Verve to Milestone, Atlantic and Muse

There's plenty more that I could name but ya'll won't put them to use

Anyway, I love jazz my man

We got the jazz

We got the jazz

Freedom throughout the universe

Freedom throughout the universe
