Play It Kool

[Hook: Rakim sample cut and scratched by Doc Da Butcher]

"Cool.."

[Verse 1]

I play it Kool! Gettin' into it just like a jazz player

Your record player ain't nothin' without the funky rhyme sayer

Kool G. Rap, 'cause to the little I'm an idol

Attackin' the vital parts to maintain my title

Suckas panic, to the ladies I'm romantic

And gigantic just like the Atlantic ocean

As I flow in slow motion

And I be cookin' you suckas like tan lotion

The K-double-O-L G R-A-P and P-O-L-O

Would like to say hello to you mellow fellow

What are you, yellow? You're hidin' like a coward

And I don't allow it, you get devoured 'cause you can't cope

'Cause I'm dope, and you don't have a prescription

So just walk like an Egyptian

My instrumentals ain't up for rental

But come and try 'em, and if you wanna buy 'em, then I'll supply 'em

I got the source of an orchestra

But if you don't pay the cost to the boss, then I'm forcin' ya

You said you're ready like Freddie to battle me

But the real Freddie's Dead and I ain't Curtis Mayfield

All wise with four I's like Mississippi

You try to trip me, but I just play it Kool just like a hippie

To be like G, this is the number one rule — play It Kool

"Cool.."

[Verse 2]

I just glide, these are the tales from the brainside

With lyrics and the beats I provide, they collide to form a homicide

You get dragged in a big bag

Soundwaves ricochet, so watch 'em zig-zag

Off angle, but I'm in shape like a triangle

I need a sucka to strangle with my new single

All rhymes are terrifyin', you're dyin'

You might as well be in a cage with a mountain lion

When I hear the bell ring, I'm swingin' head level

Burnin' your block, my rhymes hotter than Red Devil

So peel off like a potat-ah

'Cause I play it Kool like the music inside a elevator

Doc Da Butcher is a true blue musician

I'm gettin' busy while suckas are goin' fishin' or out to lunch

As they munch and they crunch on a bunch of stolen rhymes

So I just give 'em a Hawaiian Punch

And let 'em stagger, givin' 'em lips thicker than Mick Jagger

Lyrics are sharper than a dagger

Agony! Yeah, I'm braggin', nobody's baggin' me

To the bedroom, your girlfriend is draggin' me

I make the hits radios won't swing, but that's OK

Hey! 'Cause everythin' is still Kool and The Gang

Let's party 'cause everybody plays the fool

But I play it Kool

"Cool.."

[Verse 3]

I play it Kool, makin' you kneel, squirm and squeal

My name ain't Rodney, but I'm standin' on the Dangerfield

And my shows, I bust 'em out just like a virgin

'Cause I get stupid, but I'm smarter than a brain surgeon

G. Rap is here to bury

So duck MC's, I send 'em to the Pet Cemetery

Your whole crew turns chicken when they finish watchin' you die

So please stand by as I fry

You're kinda sour, so I dip you in some flour

Read my book, it says cook for about an hour

Ring the dinner bell, brain cells are well done

It's time you got a story, don't tell none

So this here is the only time I'm sane

So play it Kool, or you'll be headin' for the death pool

I play it Kooler than a band in the North Pole

But I never freeze up, or catch a cold

Never stiff, I shoot the gift kinda swift

Try to riff, and you'll needin' a facelift

'Cause I'm a teacher and a trainer, a preacher and an explainer

World's greatest entertainer

I approach like a coach to the umpire

And like a live wire, I'mma start a dumb fire

This is Kool G. Rap, the principal of the new school

'Cause I play it Kool
