 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

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
