Jimmi Diggin’ Cats

Lyrics

[Intro: Butterfly, Mecca & Doodlebug] Yo, everybody's goin' retro, right? Word And I was thinking If the '60s and '70s were now Isaac Hayes would have his own 900 number I know, and MC Hammer woulda been a pimp, right? Yo, and Jimi? Jimi woulda dug us, right? Word [Verse 1: Butterfly] Get yours, float up to the stars Planets hits a spot 'bout six blocks east of Mars Air-sole kicks and crushed velvet hats Hanging 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 getting 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 eight-tracks From the '90 tops with the twists and plaits Look beneath my hat Find the braids that hit ya, metro quite equipped Knows of all the funk that was laid in seven zips Funk is phat, homie, homie, 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 Ficky sticky fingers stuck us, loot junkies If you digging rhyme, then you digging rap Jimi's digging this and we be digging that Yeah [Bridge: Jimi Hendrix, Butterfly, Ladybug & Doodlebug] The song is by some groovy cats If you can dig the cats, you can dig the song Yo, the Black Panthers woulda had their own cartoon, right? I know and eight-track Walkmans, right? True, The Jackson 5 woulda had dreads Word, my man Tito would look fly, right? Word, and Jimi woulda dug Dig Planets for real, word [Verse 2: Butterfly] Planets busting out of this L7 square Check out the wares, check out the hairs Sweetback chills with Shaft on the ave Jimi's digging cats 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 rolls up Funk cannot be measured while the pleasure grows up Life ain't what it seems, life is but a dream Planets wreaking havoc is as constant as the rain Yeah [Outro: Digable Planets & Jimi Hendrix] Jimi's digging cats, Jimi's digging cats Jimi's digging cats, Jimi's digging cats Jimi's digging cats, Jimi's digging cats Jimi's digging cats, Jimi's digging cats The 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, uh, get down with the sound as it is today The way they're bringing it all together, they're cool Brothers are doin' it right And they're paying good respect to the masters I can dig it Exactly the way it should be Yeah
