Jimmi Diggin' Cats

Digable Planets in the house

Yo everybody's going retro right? word

And I was thinkin', if the sixties and seventies were now

Isaac Hayes would have his own 900 number

I know and MC Hammer wouldn't have been a pimp, right?

Uh huh, yo and Jimmi

Jimmi would have dug us, right?

Word, yeah

Get yours, float up to the stars

Planets is a spot bout six blocks east of Mars

Air sole kicks and crushed 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

Placebos gettin' blocked, funky joints get rocked

Jive is not found we fly from the flesh

Whether Jeep or 'Lac?

Peak it as you render and float to them raps

Butterfly's planets for the jam eight tracks

From the knotty tops with the twist and plaits

Look beneath my hat

Find the brains that hit ya, metro quite equip

Knows of all the funk that was laid in seven zips

Funk is fat, 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

Vicky sticky fingers stuck us loop junkies

If you diggin' rhyme then you diggin' rap

Jimmi's diggin' this and we be diggin' that, yeah

This song uh, is by some groovy cats

If you can dig the cats, can dig the song

Yo, the Black Panthers woulda had their own cartoon right?

I know and eight track Walkmans right?

True and Jackson 5 woulda had dreads

Word my man and Tito would look fly right?

Word and Jimmi woulda dug dig plans for real, word

Planets bustin' out of this L7 square

Check out the wears, check out their hairs

Sweet back chills we shaft on the ave

Jimmi's diggin' cat and that's just the half

Where'd they find the stuff to freak it like a wizard

Slick just like a lizard, really weird or is it

It's just the logic from how we rocks it

Pop shock picks it up and drops its

We, the synthesis of then and now melts

Channeled to the masses by a dj and some felts

Long haired hippies, afro blacks

All get together, 'cross the tracks

Because when we shows up, rhythm rose up

Funk cannot be measured while the pleasure grows up

Life ain't what it seems, life is but a dream

Planets freakin' havoc is as constant as the rain, yeah

Jimmi's diggin' cats

Jimmi's diggin' cats

Jimmi's diggin' cats

Jimmi's diggin' cats

Jimmi's diggin' cats

Jimmi's diggin' cats

Jimmi's diggin' cats

Jimmi's diggin' cats

This song is by some groovy cats

If you can dig the cats you can dig the song

Yeah, I can really dig the way the cats are

Gettin' down with the sound as it is today

The way they bringin it all togther, really cool

The brothers are doin' it right

And their payin' good respect to the masters

I can dig it exactly the way it should be, they out
