Lizz Wright & Kenny Banks - Jazz Ain't Nothing Lyrics

Lizz Wright & Kenny Banks Lyrics

"Jazz Ain't Nothing"

Jazz is makin' new potatoes and grits
Standing up each time you get hit
Jazz ain't nothing but soul

Jazz is living high off nickels and dimes
Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind
Jazz ain't nothing but soul

These trumpets, cousin, saxophones
Havin' rhythm, making love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people
For me jazz is just the truth to be found
Never mind who's putin' it down
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul

Jazz is makin' new potatoes and grits
Standing up each time you get hit
Jazz it ain't nothin' but soul

Jazz is living high off nickels and dimes
Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind
Jazz, it ain't nothing but soul

It is trumpets, cousin, saxophones
And the rhythm is makin' love
All the people wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people
For me jazz is just a truth to be found
Never mind who's putting it down
Jazz, it ain't nothin' but soul

Jazz, it ain't nothin' but soul, yes
Jazz, it ain't nothin' but soul
