Текст песне : Quasimoto. 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
