Jazzie’s Groove Lyrics

[Interlude: Jazzie B]
However do you want me?
Um, what is Soul II Soul?
Uh, well, we're a sound system
An amalgamation of good dance music
There is, um, three of us from the north side
And two from the east
And through our style, you know, people just came to recognize us as the funky dreads
I need a—
Well, you know, trust has always meant a lot to all of us
For us to stay together
Where one would make a decision and the rest would follow
I don't know, you know?
That's the way we thought the way things should be
I guess the way things should go
Soul II Soul
I need a—
I don't know, it took us a real long time to get things together, you know?
But hopefully we're on our way

A little bit of pressure here and there, you know, we had our ups and downs
For everybody who can remember the Africa Centre

That gave us the, um, idea to now make our own music, creating our own styles here in London
I need a—
The future? Ha-ha, the future for Soul II Soul
A happy face, a thumping bass for a loving race
Peace
