Cool & Calm

[Intro]

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

[Verse 1]

Yo, what the heck? I demand respect

Girls pucker for a kiss and I give 'em a peck

On the cheek, so to speak, would never slob a freak

Like a movie of the week, my Timberlands don't leak

A trendsetter, and no one could do it better

Hot like summer and cold winter weather

I rob the rich just to give to the poor

Like Robin Hood, for the '91 tour

Many try to copy everything I do

You only got one brain while I got two

You say, "How'd he get two? Man, yo, that's dumb"

I got my two the samе way you got your one

Is Sonny Boy riffin'? Yo, shut your lip and

Listen to the night cap of rap on a mission

Pеte Rock's beats are like franks so I took 'em

And just like Ball Parks, they plump when you cook 'em

Clear the sector for the midnight wrecka

As I carve a rapper on my new Black & Decker

So don't leave yet, I'm gonna drop another bomb

But still, C.L. remains and calm

[Refrain]

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

[Verse 2]

I hate a no fro witch that got a crab-like itch

Just a girl I can knock from the back and switch

Not been around for years like peanut butter and jelly

But custom-made like a tire from Pirelli

Love all the cuties with the big, round booties

But if they pass gas, I cross my fingers 'cause your cooties

I can't stand a brother clockin' my spot

When I was young I used to always play Doctor a lot

Scopin' all the trim, fat, plump or slim

And fill 'em to the rim like the coffee brim

I'm smooth, solo, while you're small like Toto

Like the Wizard of Oz and, um, bitin' is a no-no

To me, the capital C you can't be

The chairman of the board so I snatched the re

And you get nathan, snackin' on Wheat Thins

While I rap soon as the song begins

The one, the only, never smokin' any stogie

Funny like Yogi, and in golf I hit a bogey

There's only one God quoted in Psalm

And when I pray, I remain cool and calm

[Refrain]

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

[Bridge Scratches]

("He keeps his cool") ("He keeps his cool")

("He keep, he keep, he keep, he, he keeps his cool")

("He keeps his cool") ("He keeps his cool")

("He, he, he keeps his cool")

[Verse 3]

People always say, "Yo Smooth, don't forget me"

Like I'ma break camp and move to Hawaii

I'm not going anywhere, you louse

I'm still living in town, I just moved to a bigger house

"But don't forget where you came from," man, you're dumb

'Cause I could never diss my people in the slum

You ring my bell enough, there's your proof

Even the professor in the DJ booth

Pete Rock, comin' from a middle class family

Not saying we're better, but yo, understand me

You could rise, just use your head

Just like you wouldn't wear a pair of shoes to bed

Yes, learn your culture, get your diploma

Instead of getting crazy girls pregnant on your sofa

If I wasn't on wax I'd probably be the next medical doctor or Malcolm X

Yo, I've been down in the dumps, took my lumps

But as I grew older I avoided the chumps

And listened to my dad as he read the Qu'ran

With advice, "Corey, stay cool and calm"

[Outro]

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

Cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm; cool, calm

Stay cool, stay calm; stay cool, stay calm; stay cool, stay calm; cool, calm
