Lyrics
I bump Monk in the morning man That's my sorta jam Horace Silver on the keys Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard blowin' bubbles on his trumpet man That's really something man Ain't it something man? Well on the other hand A Miles solo flies me over to another land Miles smiles, miles in the sky Birth of cool, kind of blue Bitches brew, which are you? Guess it all depends on the situation that you facin' Or the day of the week Now jazz is a language that's crazy to speak Cause ya ain't sayin nothin if ya phrasing is weak I stay shaping the beat But it's a difficult task at hand to make ya neck snap Eva seen Art Blakey vexed at Elvin, Max Roach, Haynes or Philly joe Damn he kept the beat really tight like a philly roll With the rolls fills and the way that he filled the role But few steal the show like Jack DeJohnette, Jimmy Cobb Billy Higgins, really getting in the swing of things I love the feelin' swingin' brings I need Mingus for the bass I need Billie Holiday to sing this I need Coltrane, I need the fingers Of Jarret and Evans, I mean the thing is The way the note lingers Through the late hours as I'm soarin' Awaken in the mornin' Dexter Gordon oratory roarin up in my auditorium Transmittin' storybooks, in a stormy form Creating life within the song he formed Man you musta got the story wrong But this ain't nothing like the corny norm Nah this ain't nothing like the corny norm Keep it jazzy That's my only request Keep it swingin' Keep it swingin' and fresh We Keep it cool Keep it cool and tight We got the vibe We got ya feelin' alright Keep it jazzy That's my only request Keep it swingin' Keep it swingin' and fresh We Keep it cool Keep it cool and tight We got the vibe We got ya feelin' alright While the whole world wildin', I keep silent Knocked em all over with the bowling ball shit that we stylin Plus the beat got me smiling It's so chill, it's hard to come hardcore For real, to all the freshmen and sophomores We're the class of veterans schoolin the seniors Two queens MCs, with True demeanor of jazz cats Ayo pass that Too many famous MCs thats asscrack Look out below, the shit we droppin is hazmat Stand back Make sure you got ya helmet on and ya stance raw Hope you prepared for, the mad raw hands-on exhibit in a rare form The bass droppin' and hits you like a hail storm Hard to bail from the maelstrom but this is that official shit Put the stamps on your passport Your last thought, when did EC blast off This cat told me that jazz is elevator music I guess it's all relative depending how you view it We're takin' it straight up to the top floor And if you don't feel it why your head bop for? I got rhymes Like blue note's got records Enough for millions of measures I'm deep, but not feelin' the pressure My speech, got feelin' and gestures My reach, international sectors We free, not constricted or stressin' And we stay regeneratin' cool, fool Keep it jazzy That's my only request Keep it swingin' Keep it swingin' and fresh We Keep it cool Keep it cool and tight We got the vibe We got ya feelin' alright Keep it jazzy That's my only request Keep it swingin' Keep it swingin' and fresh We Keep it cool Keep it cool and tight We got the vibe We got ya feelin' alright
