The Ernies Jive! Lyrics:
Well, I thought about the scene a lot and I've
come to the conclusion, back in the day we used to
admit to the confusion that exists between real
styles and illusion, but I must tell you if you
think that we are losin our honesty because we are
bustin' out like confusions on those of you who
think that you are choosin the right of way
because you hear it everyday, well turn off your
radio turn it off all the way. We're not ska-core,
reggae, jazz, we're not hip hop or rock or pop,
you know we won't stop groovin', it's like a thing
called Jive!, you mix it up and keep the people
satisfied no need to classify or nullify the
claims that say we're insane, so to pacify those
of you who need a label call it what you want I
know you'll kick it if you're able. We call it
Jive! Don't get me wrong, I don't think that we're

special just cuz our sound is not that commercial,
or maybe it is, maybe that's not for me to say,
but I've seen less honest music everyday, just
like our soundless souls that are sold on the
radio melodramatic lyrics made up like Fabio, they
hide reality in a well made allusion to a world
where the real is illusion. We call it Jive! Well,
I remember the times we used to hit downtown
Richmond got kicked out the Metro, me and my Blind
Jeans, my Indy hat ended up on the street and I
went back for a smoke in my Capri. Back then is
when we used to swang, rankin, and skankin was the
thang until the music scene back home sold out,
that's when me and my crew decided to show them
what it's all about for the old skool we were
late, we put down the skates, started grabbin'
guitars horns drums and the bass kickin it live
inside the garage hittin' them with a lyrical
barrage but it's like we're trippin' tips shit got
drastically of a sudden , the need to play
bombastically, we lost sight of what is real it
took us this long to get back on the reel to reel.
We call it Jive!
