Grits - Jazz lyrics

Jazz is the substance and base
Of manifestation of Grit's for Nubian taste
The voice of the horn cries
For freedom of imprisonment
Releasing the soul from
The shackles of environment
The bass is like the blood in your veins
Pumping breath to your organs so
Life can maintain
Of course we need the skins
To keep the timin'
Like your heart plays the part
Of keepin' everything in line
Like brain waves the keys sound
Signals in spurts and harmony
Where would you be without the melody
The vocalist in this quartet is the Spirit
Or better yet the Son of Man
So there you have it broken down anatomically
Grit's illustrated for the ones that doubt
Cause the heart is expressed in
The music and always has
This is what I think about Jazz

Jazz is the mother and Hip Hop's the child
She died and revived now
Her child's runnin' wild
Grit's is the tool and Hip Hop's the Nation
Sent to teach those of Truth and Creation
Jazz is the mother and Hip Hop's the child
She died and revived now
Her child's runnin' wild
Grit's is the tool and Hip Hop's the Nation
Sent to teach those of Truth and Creation

The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
The jazz, the jazz, the jazz, the jazz

Rap is not Hip Hop so
Let's get it straightened
Hip Hop is life and culture not revenue
Birthed from the generation of the younger
The hunger for equality fathered this child
The mother is the music
Which influenced it's creation
Jazz was the cry from the
Parents of this new Nation
Since it's birth I've grown
With it even though
It's been the target of murder
And a victim of rape
Yet it still live's never givin' in
Takin' deeper breaths grippin' tighter
Than a vise
Many misunderstand it's true meaning
They think it's economic and
This causes drama
Black-birthed, black-grown, black-owned
Was the thought intended
But now the plans demented
Will a million Blacks even
Support it's own Creation
Until then I'm teachin' other's
Of the strugglin' Nation

Jazz is the mother and Hip Hop's the child
She died and revived now
Her child's runnin' wild
Grit's is the tool and Hip Hop's the Nation
Sent to teach those of Truth and Creation
Jazz is the mother and Hip Hop's the child
She died and revived now
Her child's runnin' wild
Grit's is the tool and Hip Hop's the Nation
Sent to teach those of Truth and Creation

The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
The jazz, the jazz, the jazz, the jazz

The jazz, the jazz, I love the jazz
And always have it represents my culture
My roots stem from a musical background
Ancestral voices sing to my spirit
In the wind I hear it's messages telling me
To stay strong through the hatred of others
Love thy enemy sounds so wrong to me
The reward is in the end so I feel suicidal
Strength unseen is laced in the chords
I consume volumes at a time when I hoard
My survival lies in my faith in the Savior
And the Savor of jazz music in my ear

The jazz is the mother and
Hip Hop's the child she died and revived now
Her child's runnin' wild
Grit's is the tool and Hip Hop's the Nation
Sent to teach those of Truth and Creation
Jazz is the mother and Hip Hop's the child
She died and revived now
Her child's runnin' wild
Grit's is the tool and Hip Hop's the Nation
Sent to teach those of Truth and Creation
Jazz is the mother and Hip Hop's the child
She died and revived now
Her child's runnin' wild
Grit's is the tool and Hip Hop's the Nation
Sent to teach those of Truth and Creation
