lyrics

Dig!
Y' really wanna flip your lid?
Step up & give a listen to the singer.
Hip or square, say a prayer.
When money's stiff, she’ll make it on a riff. She turns the major into minor cool.
All over town she is renown. Woman’s the crown jewel of sound.
_____________ Dig it!
That Sassy’s on a hipper trip.
Rhythm, she can sharpen to a stinger.
Blows insane. That’s her lane.
She keeps it loose, a ballad or a blues Ten thousand hours on a thousand gigs.
Takin’ the crown, uptown or down. She is the baddest around. _____________
She’s brazen. / Simply amazin’.
She’s blazing. / Shit is hair-raisin’.
Vibration’s a brain invasion.
But her phrasing’s just like a saxophone. ___________
Workin' in the daytime. Jammin’ ev'ry night.
Blowin' over changes that would give most cats a fright. People call her “Sassy”. That’s her attitude.
Actin' like the devil. But when she sings her blues, you know what she’s goin’ through…
She’s brazen. / Simply amazin’.
She’s blazing. / Shit is hair-raisin’.
Vibration’s a brain invasion.
But her phrasing’s just like a saxophone. ___________

Watch Sassy take another swig. Now she’s gettin’ evil with the people
Cigarette… Final Set. Don’t wanna miss a prelude to a kiss.
Even the trumpet player’s smilin’ know. She’s walkin’ the line, cuttin’ in rhyme, she is divine all the time
Workin' in the daytime. Jammin’ ev'ry night. Hangin’ with the fellas, till she’s ready to ignite.
People call her sassy, cuz she knows her mind. She became a living legend from songs she redefined

She’s brazen. / Simply amazin’.
She’s blazing. / Shit is hair-raisin’.
Vibrations her own creation.
Her phrasing just like a saxophone.
She’s brazen. / Simply amazin’.
She’s blazing. / Shit is hair-raisin’.
Vibrations her own creation.
Her phrasing just like a saxophone.
