Les paroles de la chanson
« Jam »
A Tribe Called Quest
(girls talking on phone)
Q-tip:
It was friday afternoon in the middle of june
Heineken bottle caps and the aroma of boom
Around the time everybody had just got home from class
Shootin dicetalkin shithopin the cash would last
Yothis was around the time when I didn’t know no better
Juney moved around in a tinted out jetta
Phife:
Then he introduced me to that hydro smoke
Then I took one tokeyoI almost choked
See I never smoked before and my nerves got shot
Then he told me about the party at the spot jam rock
It was guaranteed on but I said "sonchill"
There’s a joint around the way that’s supposed to be real
Word
Q-tip:
He said we got no jsso we gonna do it right
Hit your man’s joint firstthen jam rock at one night
Then I said "aight"then I jumped inside the jetty
Let me take a showerI’m sweatyand then I’ll be ready
Tonight is the night I get my groove on steady
And get my drink on with that ford named betty
I went upstairs to get flybroke my tie
On some liquorto meet my high quicker
NowI’m tightthem knowthe party is the m.o.
Me and my crewwe get it started like a demo
Eleven in the eveninI’m feelin like a heathen
This thing is goin down and I highly doubt I’m leavin
Booty cheeks start to motion and the kids is drinkin potion
Word is bondthat black moon joint got me open
(don’t front)
Consequence:
A yothe dj put this short groove on
The good shit that makes a kid lose his drink
Blendin risin to the top and got these shorties hoppin
Nuthin but coppinain’t no stoppin me now
YoI’m bound to win until that thing kicked in
The alazay had me drunkI don’t know where to begin(echoed)
Phife:
Not I’m feelin kinda jadedwildly coherent
Me and the fellas acted very irreverent
Butt grabbinmad laughin and assin
Consequence:
When that chick caught upthe shorty lookin fed up
They say you drug one with this onegibbin with that one
Q-tip:
A yoI’m just doin my thingyo I’m just havin fun
You don’t see me in here wylin pullin out no gun
YoI see some of that thing girl and I want some
So let’s step inside this corner so that we can rap on
Over this bumpin ass song and some dom perignon
Phife;
I hit ya with the good lovin plus fillet mignon
(yeahyeah scrammy scramsyothat’s that same old song)
(a yotell me why the hell your breath smells so strong)
Consequence;
Yoput some brakes on your yappin or you won’t live long
(please niggapush on)
Alright scramssee you later (scrams)
Can’t mess with these street sharks or these alligators
Phife:
I can’t take it no moreyo it’s damn near four
I’ve been partyin and drinkin since I came out my door
Q-tip (consequence)
Look at these kids about to mix itdamnwhere’s the exit?
(sonjetted to the ride and got the burner out the lexus)
Yohe cocked his joint back like he’s about to let him have it
(kidI kept it movin like the energizer rabbit)
A yo yoit’s time to skateain’t no time to contemplate
(all: whoopslooka therethere’s jake)
