Right on You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother - (Shut your mouth) Anybody who has heard these lyrics before knows that the deep, sultry voice who sings the funky beat is talking about "Shaft."

Could we see Reeves…chain smoking? Making dry yet knife-edged remarks about mental patients? Acting mildly misogynistic? I think so.
