Buckshot LeFonque - Phoenix lyrics



Chorus:
Music evolution change
Sometimes the common makes it sound strange

To make sure jazz and hip hop is at the tip top
But wait, we must cross roads to get it straight
in rhyme there's a thin line between love and hate
Some state rap will never make it out the gate
But I'm here to cause a debate and contemplate
Why jazz and hip hop is considered second rate
