Well here's how it started

Heard you on the radio

Talkin' 'bout rap

Sayin' all that crap about how we sample

Given examples

Think we'll let you get away with that?

You critizie our method of how we make records

you said it wasn't art, so now we're gonna rip you apart

Stop, check it out my man

This is the music of a hip-hop band

Jazz, well you can call it that

But this jazz retains a new format

Point, where you misjudged us

Speculated, created a fuss

You've made the same mistake politicians have

Talkin' all that jazz



Talk, well I heard talk is cheap

But like beauty, talk is just skin deep

And when you lie and you talk alot

People tell you to step off alot

You see, you misunderstood

A sample is a tactic

A portion of my method, a tool

In fact it's only of importance when I make it a priority

And what we sample of, is the majority

But you are a minority, in terms of thought

Narrow minded and poorly taught

About hip-hop, playin' all the silly games

You erase my music, so no one can use it

Step on us and we'll step on you

Can't have your cake and eat it too

Talkin' all that jazz



Lies, that's when you hide the truth

It's when you talk more jazz than proof

And when you lie and address something you don't know







It's so whack that it's bound to show

When you lie about me and the band we get angry

We'll bite our pen, start writin' again

And the things we write are always true

Suckers, get a grip, now we talkin' 'bout you

Seems to me that you have a problem

So we can see what we can do to solve them

Think rap is a fad? you must be mad

'Cause we're so
