XV - Shuck & Jive lyrics

Run it I don't care i know I might get a
Few people angry with this oneor
Confused but that's what
Art is right? Expression so I'm
Going to express myself
Hahaha I don't got no snaps in me butlook

Came in the game, you know damn well
I had this game all in
Control like a handheld remote control
Hope that soul comes back in a hurry
But James Brown and Isaac Hayes
Passing got me worried
Kids don't know an MC from a McFlurry
And rappers started dancing like
You gotta serve me
I know it's all funny, they just kids
But come on and ride the train in my day
Came and just went isn't it Ironic
I listened to Alanis Morissette
Before The Chronic
And that's just being honest
Wasn't from the 'burbs
Just a nerd reading comics
With a bunch of girlfriends but
They all were platonic maybe I don't got it
But, I ain't giving in
This is my opinion and nobody can knock it
And I ain't on no Ice T shit, what hip hop is
I'm just trying to make people
Stand up like comics

Shuck and jive shuck and jive
All I see these niggas doing
Is a shuck and jive they just shuck and jive
Shuck and jive it don't matter anymore if
You can't fucking rhyme
Long as you shuck and jive shuck and jive
All I see these niggas doing
Is a shuck and jive shuck and jive
Shuck and jive stand the fuck up nigga and
Have some fucking pride

So if you nigga start a movement like Gena 6
To be on Myspace showing off ridiculous
Flow A, B, C like controllers on Genesis
That's when I know it's more
Than just me being envious
Baby powder niggas spitting that is not crack
You fools on youtube like that's not Smack
And I ain't trying to confuse
Or do backpack rap
Fuck that I'm trying to bring
The Rap Pack back you ain't soulful fool
You got as much soul as the soul
Sole on the shoes of a homeless dude
And I understand there's fans out in the
Stands throwing up their
Hands so it must be in demand
So you think you can rap
Then come and test me
Nah, you need to be on so
You think you can dance
Here's some shoe polish nigga
Paint on your face i ain't trying to judge
I'm just stating my case while y'all

Shuck and jive shuck and jive
All I see these niggas doing
Is a shuck and jive they just shuck and jive
Shuck and jive it don't matter anymore if
You can't fucking rhyme
Long as you shuck and jive shuck and jive
All I see these niggas doing
Is a shuck and jive they just shuck and jive
Shuck and jive stand the fuck up nigga and
Have some fucking pride

Yeah and that's just interpretation of
The situation you see
Hip hop is an art form right?
It's a way of expression
But there's a difference from expressing
Yourselfin dancingand somebody who told
You to act like a god damn fool you see
You think everybody laughing with
Youand having a
Good time with you but they laughing
At you! Look at you! Hahaha i'm
Just speaking the truth man yeah
