Verse 1
Heard you on the radio
Talkin' 'bout rap
Verse 2
Think we'll let you get away with that?
You criticize 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
Dm
Am
This is the music of a hip- hop band
Jazz, well you can call it that
Dm
Am
But this jazz retains a new format
Point, where you misjudged us
Dm
C
Am
Speculated, created a fuss
You've made the same
C
Am
Talkin' all that jazz

Verse 3

G
Talk, well I heard talk is cheap
Am
G
But like beauty, talk is just skin deep
Verse 4
Am
People tell you to step off alot You see, you
misunderstood
A sample is a tactic
Dm
Am
A portion of my method, a tool
In fact it's only of importance
when I make it a priority
Dm
Am
And what we sample of, is the majority
But you are a minority,
in terms of thought
Dm
C
Am
Narrow minded and poorly taught
About hip- hop, playin' all the silly games
Dm
Am
You erase my music,
so no one can use it
Step on us and we'll step on you
Dm
Am
Can't have your cake and eat it too

Verse 5
Dm
Am
It's when you talk more jazz
than proof
Verse 6
something you don't know
Dm
Am
It's so whack that it's
bound to show
When you lie about me
and the band we get angry
Dm
Am
We'll bite our pen, start writin' again
And the things we write are always true
Dm
C
Suckers, get a grip,
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 bad we
get respect you never had
Tell the truth, James Brown was old
Dm
C
'Til Eric and Rakim came
Rap brings back old R&B
Dm
Am
And if we would not,
people could've forgot
We wanna make this perfectly clear
Of those who choose to judge
Dm
Am
but lack pizazz
Talkin' all that jazz
Dm
Am
Verse 7
Dm

Verse 8
Now we're not tryin' to be a boss to you
Dm
Am
That if you're talkin' jazz,
the situation is a no- win
You might even get hurt,
my friend
Stetsasonic, the hip- hop band
Up for the music we live and play
Dm
Am
And for the song we sing today
For now, let us set the record straight
Dm
C
And later on we'll have a for
But it's important you remember,
though
What you reap is what you sew
Dm
C
Talkin' all that jazz
Am
Dm
C
Talkin' all that jazz
