[Chorus] These jazz chords hit different — suspended tension Long dominant 9ths, pure soul ascension Struggle in the flats, success in the sharps I burn through the changes with a lion’s heart [Verse 1] I attack these keys like Coltrane on a mission Altered dominant chords fueling my ambition Long sustained Cm9 ringing out like a warning While I spit raw fire on this late night morning Passion personified — I embody the grind From broke in the dark to owning what’s mine They threw minor 7ths at me, full of despair I flipped it to major 13s — now I’m floating on air Clenched fist on the sustain, teeth grit through the pain Every complex voicing screaming I’m back in the game No simple triads, this that rich jazz tension Turned my lowest lows into pure ascension [Chorus] These jazz chords hit different — suspended tension Long dominant 9ths, pure soul ascension Struggle in the flats, success in the sharps I burn through the changes with a lion’s heart [Verse 2] I’m the struggle made flesh when the half-diminished hit Turned that dark chord into power — I never quit Veins popping, soul scorching on every long hold While the piano plays lush, my story stays bold From Bellingham cold to the top of the mountain I took every flat 5 and turned pain into fountain This that gritty jazz rap, aggressive and real Minor 11ths in my chest, but my outcome is steel Success ain’t pretty, it’s sweat, blood, and minor 9ths I roar over the loop while the chord progressions shine Let it sustain long… let the tension release I’m the beast in the keys — I brought war to the peace [Outro] Yeah… play them jazz chords… Let ‘em ring… let ‘em burn… Struggle to triumph… watch the tables turn…
