New Jack Theme Lyrics


Buy and die, sell and be free
We are the new jacks, this is our reality
Do unto others, leave no one alive
This is our creed, we will survive
No control is how I'm livin'
On the edge with no forgivin'Things get rough when you've got time to kill
You've got the cash then I've got your thrill
I make more money than a judge or a cop
Give me a reason why I should stop
Large is how I'm livin'
On the edge with no forgivin'Some people say that my soul is lost
I'll lose my life if I start to turn soft
From where I am there is no turning back
Crack is the master, I am a new jackDoes it anybody see me, yeah?
Does it anybody hear me, yeah?I'll never change, I'll never stop
I've got cold cash, I'm on the top
We can get busy if you want to play
I'll have the last laugh when I blow you awayDon't you see me, yeah?

Can't you hear me, yeah?
Don't you see me, yeah?
Can't you hear me, yeah?
Don't you see me, hear me?
Don't you see me, hear me?
Don't you see me, hear me?
...

Living Colour is a funk metal group formed in New York city in 1984. They signed to Epic Records in 1987 and released their first album, Vivid, in 1988.

Stylistically their music is a creative fusion influenced by guitar-based rock such as hardcore punk and heavy metal, and traditional African-American music such as jazz, funk, and hip-hop. They are linked to the funk metal/alternative metal movement of the late 1980s typified by bands such as Fishbone, Jane's Addiction, Primus, Faith No More, and 24-7 Spyz. They are best remembered for the hit Cult of Personality, which won a Grammy Award for best hard rock performance in 1989. They were also named Best New Artist at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards. The singer, Corey Glover, had a role in the movie 'Platoon', directed by Oliver Stone.

The first two albums bassist Muzz Skillings contributed to the music, before leaving in 1992 due to creative differences. They were inactive from 1995-2000, and since their return have operated as a regular touring unit, as well as releasing one new studio release, Collide0Scope, one compilation of b-sides & rarities, and one live album from their early performances at the now mythical CBGB's. All four have released solo albums and session work, Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun also are in both Jungle Funk and Head>>Fake, Corey Glover is also doing musical theatre, Vernon Reid has several projects, and Wimbish also has returned to various projects related to his other longstanding collaborators Adrian Sherwood, Keith Leblanc, and Skip McDonald.

The band are set to release their new album, The Chair in the Doorway, on September 15th of this year on Megaforce.
