Paroles Jive! de Ernies (The)

Textes et Paroles de Jive!

Well i thought about the scene alot
and i've come to the conclusion
back in the day we used to admit
to the confusion that exists between
real styles and illusion
but i must tell you if you think
that we are losin our honesty
because we're busting out like contusions
on those of you who think that
you are choosin the right way because
you hear it everyday
well turn off your radio
turn it off all the way

we're not ska-core, reggae,
jazz or funk, we're not
hip-hop or rock or pop
you know we won't stop groovin
its like a thing called jive
you mix it up and keep the
people satisfied no need to
classify or nullify the claims
that say that we're insane
so to pacify those of you
who need a label call it what you want
I know you'll kick it if you're able

We call it jive!

Don't get me wrong i don't think
that we're special just cause our
sound is not that commercial
or maybe it is, maybe that's not
for me to say but i've seen less honest
music everyday just like the soul-less
souls that are sold on the radio
melodramatic lyrics made up like Fabio
they hide reality in a well-made
illusion to a world where the real is illusion

We call it jive!

Well i remember the times
we used to hit the shows
in downtown Richmond (VA) got
kicked out the metro
me and my blind jeans, my indy
hat ended up in the street and i
went back for a smoke in my capri
back then is when we used to swang
rankin and skankin was the thang
until the music scene back home sold out
me and the crew decided to show them
what its all about
for the old skool we were late
we put down the skates and
started grabbin guitar, horns,
drums and the bass
kickin it live inside the garage
hittin 'em with a lyrical barrage
but like we're trippin tips shit got drastic
all of a sudden the need to play
hit bombastically
we lost site of what is real
it took us this long to get
back on the reel to real

We call it jive!
