Jimmi Diggin' Cats |
Yo, everybody’s goin retro, right? |
And I was thinkin… if the 60's and 70's were now, |
Isaac Hayes woulda have his own 900 number. |
I know, and MC Hammer would’ve been a pimp, right? |
Word, and jimmi would’ve dug us right? |
Word. |
Yeah. |
Get yours, float up to the stars |
Planets hits a spot 'bout six blocks east of Mars. |
Air soul kicks and crush velvet hats, |
hangin off the ave with the beautifulest naps. |
Ride in the crest with the blessed, give a yes. |
Planets kinda funky, as if you hadn’t guessed. |
Placebo’s gettin blocked, funky joints get rocked |
Jive is not found, we fly from the flesh |
Whether Jeep or 'Lac, Peak you as you been there and |
Float to them raps, Butterfly’s planets for the |
Jam 8 Tracks… from the 90-tops with the |
Twists and plaits, look beneath my hat |
Find the braids that hit ya, metro quite equiped |
Knows of all the funk that was laid in 7-zips |
Funk is phat, homey homey don’t you know me? |
Cool is back, give some skin, lay it on me |
Groovy you could call it, hip, yeah, you could call we, |
Fikky sticky fingers stuck us, loot junkies. |
If you diggin rhyme, then you diggin rap |
Jimmi’s diggin this and we be diggin that… |
yeah… |
(The song is by some groovy cats. If you can dig |
the cats, you can dig the song). |
Yo, the black panthers would’ve had their own show right? |
I know, and 8-track walkmans, right? |
True, The Jackson Five would’ve had dreads. |
Word, my man Tito would look fly, right? |
Word, and Jimmi would’ve dug Dig Planets for real, word. |
Planets bustin out of this L-7 square |
Check out the wares, check out the hairs |
Sweetback chills with Shav, on the ave |
Jimmi’s diggin cats, and that’s just the half |
Where’d they find the stuff to freak it like a wizzard, |
Slick just like a lizzard? |
really weird, or is it? |
It’s just the logic, from how we rocks it Pop shock picks it up and drops hits |
We, the synthesis of then and now melts |
channeled to the masses through a DJ and some felts |
Long haired hippies, Afro blacks, |
All get together across the tracks |
Because when we shows up, rythm rolls up Funk cannot be measured while the pleasure grows up Life ain’t what it seems, life is but a dream |
Planets wreakin havok is as constant as the rain |
Yeah… |
(The song is by some groovy cats. If you can dig |
the cats, you can dig the song. |
Yeah, I can really dig how these cats get down with the |
sound as it is today. |
The way they’re bringing it all |
together, they’re cool. |
Brothas are doin it right. |
And |
they’re paying good respect to the masters, I can |
dig it. |
It’s exactly the way it should be. |
