HOOK (Flow Zen)
Cuz if you don’t close your eyes, then you can’t dream
But if you don’t know who we is, then you can’t see
Cuz life without jazz and hip hop, it can’t be Cuz life without jazz and hip hop, it can’t be Verse 1 (Flow Zen)
Its like floating on the notes, getting carried away
Like the foam riding the waves as they hit the coast
Or outside under the summer sky, never wondering why
I never want to come inside
Following the path of those before us making music
Those are big shoes to fill so i’m making sure the shoes fit
But who’s this? the truth is it’s these two kids
Taking jazz and combining it with some new digs
Running amuck proving this jazz hop movement
Is nothing short of dope, never making excuses
Cuz musical combinations are endless like a Rubik’s
Mic in my hand keeping my arm strong, Louis
So like him competition i’mma trump it Heading to the function looking fresh like out the oven
Never bumbling and i keep my system bumping
The real music so you know the mainstream wasn’t
Hook (Kuga)
Cuz if you don’t close your eyes, then you can’t dream
But if you don’t know who we is, then you can’t see
Cuz life without jazz and hip hop, it can’t be Cuz life without jazz and hip hop, it can’t be Verse 2 (Kuga)
Have you ever heard the jazz in hip hop it’s so smooth
It makes a massive difference on them damn tunes
It’s got you moving and vibing, the movement is fine
And when your’e holding the mic then you know that it’s time to Press, bombs away dropping lines with volume
My mind seeks what you seek, so i speak for all you
Get a rush from it, sink it in like i do Take all the negatives and cleanse for revival
Damn it’s fresh, hotter than a summer in Tokyo
Cooler than scope, it’s dope i need it in my life yo It reminds me of my youth when i went to fuji jazz fest
David Sandborn killing it on the saxophone
Made me stand up and enjoy every single fucking song
So when you mix the two, its glue, you can never separate it Cuz this hip hop and jazz got me hella elavated

Cuz if you don’t close your eyes, then you can’t dream
But if you don’t know who we is, then you can’t see
Cuz life without jazz and hip hop, it can’t be Cuz life without jazz and hip hop, it can’t be Verse3(funky dl)
The jukebox aficionado the serenity of Monte Carlo
Jazz in a bottle — twist the cap off and take a swallow
Drunk like a wino from the cocktail, bring the bravado
Hip-hop is mine yo, leave the bar a tip for tomorrow
Made on an impulse handing over a blue note
Stepping away with prestige feeling like I got kudos
Take a stroll down the riverside like I got verve, Marcus D On the beat and NjS and D on the words
The other side of the Atlantic — bringing you the semantics
How Hip-hop and jazz live together
The advantage is lavish and so demanded, upstanding like we are bandits
33 and a 3rd revolutions on this planet
Like Dammit, it’s so organic — it’s a natural vibe
That’s gonna resonate from now until the day that I die
So I’mma be-bop, wearing my Kangol and my Reebok’s
And keep this jazz and Hip-Hop moving even
When the beats stops
Hook (All)
Cuz if you don’t close your eyes, then you can’t dream

Cuz life without jazz and hip hop, it can’t be Cuz life without jazz and hip hop, it can’t be
