The Tribute - Colossus

People

Give a toast to these audio architects

Who came here tonight to get your soul right

Prepare to be amazed

As we perform unbelievable feats

With these beats by via satellite

So come one, come all

Some of y’all are gonna leave here breathless (breathless)

We launching off in about five minutes

So make sure that you’re on the guest list (guest list)

Or catch us the next time we landing

To witness something that is clearly outstanding

Yo Colossus bring the band in

I need horns to emphasize, vibes you visualize

Give them something until the main course comes (course comes)

Huge helping of hip-hop then swing drum

See we’re about taking the chance

We wanna put (?) in a b-boy stance

(Musical break)

Its all related, its just differently dated

A combination of time frames

Traditional styles with brand new names

Whether its Duke, Jazzanova, or Bob James

Man you feel the groove, the love is the same

The drum’s giving you the essence of our origin

A story in itself with all those merging fully together to see your musical self

So give a hand to the narrators

The personal tour guide that’s bringing out your jazz side

In fact we raise the bar of orchestration and rap by far

'Cause we study what it means to be authentic

Payin' a tribute to the ones that invented

Sorta like connect the dots (connect the dots)

We got riffs for days that’ll wreck the spots

With a whole lotta swing to it

Remind you of something your parents would listen to (yup)

But of course with a new school sway to it

With a little bit of Cab Calloway to it
