Soundcheck Jam Songtext

von Faithless

Ah! Yeah
Keep alive y'all, nine to five
My name is Maxi Jazz and I ain't no joke
I make you choke on the mic when I go for broke
When I come in to a jam I tear off my shirt
I have no knowledge of fear ‘cause I'm here to do work, huh
When I rock a party it's a serious thing
I'll make you feel so good
I'll make you wanna sing
Make you scream, cry, wonder why
You ever listen to those other guys telling you lie
You know my position, the top of the tree
And it's a make or break decision to ramp with me
So, let's see who wants to kick it all the count of three
Don't try to take this lightly ‘cause I'm fun and I'm mighty, huh
Maxi Jazz, you got the name correct
And I'ma show you why the name gets enough respect
You see, it's not easy to by ad funky as me
You have to learn this and be just to be free
You have to give up all the things that hold you back
Like doing drugs or crime or running with the pack
That's why all the party people know that Max is with that

‘Cause I thought about it, I got up and did it
I got perfect timing, my face all shining, huh
You in a trance and you dance when I'm rhyming
If you ever need to know exactly how it gets done
Well, step up to this stage and check the number one
It's like this and I keep it just going
We keep it just flowing, it's always like this, yeah

Check it out, y'all
It's like this when you kick it to a higher degree
Slam the beat on the people, turn the heat up to three and then burn, huh
It's ready when it's black as can be
We have the remedy, call it a recipe, just to be safe
Went to have a taste, just in case, say we need more bass
So when you hear the boon, take the spoon from your face
I force the hot sauce or burn down my place
And never go to waste ‘cause suckers make a pace make haste
And get chased down the street, getting laced
And by the next day rhymes are in place to erase that worries look on your face
The style is kinda new from '92, we're coming through like International Rescue, huh
You never know, we got two ways to play
I got musicians in back improvising and devising melody on the check
In face all we want is a contract
It's like a vapour, but I check for respect more than a piece of paper
Shape of things to come
We have been found number one in Brixton, more licks to come
And then some, now come, I show you how it's done
Pick up the band, gonna give you another one
I said now come, I show you how it's done
We got the band, gonna give you another one
