[Verse 1]
[Bm]Bass for y[Am]our face,
highs for your eyes
Don't [Bm]blink, Black [Am]Ink has arrived, all rise
[Bm]Rudebwoys keep dem thi[Am]ng at your side,
be alright
[Bm]Muh'fuckers Philly we up[Am] in here,
we all live
I'm puffin this Cohiba mami
coolin' her heels
All [Bm]she ever seem to [Am]do
is play it cool f'real
She be [Bm]pushin', pop [Am]vessel,
and her shoes is ill
But her [Bm]hand, keep [Am]slippin on the
woodgrain wheel
[Bm]But it's cool, we never [Am]slippin' when
there's moves to make
[Bm]Especially when what we [Am]talkin'
ain't ya usual cake
I pump [Bm]bass for [Am]y'all bathin' apes,
to get charged
[Bm]Nah, I'm not [Am]a dealer,
I'm a poet at large
We in the wind with the roof back,
lettin' the breeze hit us
The [Bm]bathrobe on [Am]with
sweatpants and slippers
Com[Bm]in' to pay a [Am]visit to
whoever on the hit list
[Bm]Some of y'all been [Am]tryin' for years,

[Verse 2]
you'll never get this fool
[Am]Check it [C]out (stay [Bm]cool) stay cool
[Am]daddy (stay [Bb]cool)
Stay cool ma (hey, hey) c'mon
[Am](Sta[Em]y cool motherfuckers y'all know[D]
[Em]the [Am]rules[Bm])
(Hey, stay [C]cool, stay cool)
[Bm]There [Am]it is (Y[G]eah
[D]hah hah, stay [Bm]cool)
Hip- Hop my main [Am]bitch, I got a few on the side

[Verse 3]
The [Bm]game
stitched y'all
I'm [Am]doin' my job
Go up against enorm[Bm]ous odds
[Am]Wouldn't break a sweat,
money make her bet
[Bm]Funny son [Am]you threat,
well I ain't shakin' yet
[Bm]Twenty- [Am]fo' sev'
chillin', tougher
than penicillin
From the [Bm]block where the [Am]crooked
cops killin' like a villain
Chil[Bm]dren, in [Am]the hood gettin'
rocked by they buildings
And broth[Bm]ers, 'cross [Am]the board gettin'
knocked by the millions
[Bm]The stress, got [Am]me ignitin'
the potent marijuana leaf
Tryin' to play it cooler than
a polar bear colony
[Bm]You feel the m[Am]usic know
I'm over there probably
Pimpin on the same system
that forever shorted me
[Bm]I got the soul[Am] of a young
Sam Cooke when I spit
[Bm]It make you want[Am] to make
a new dance up
It's all [Bm]to the good s[Am]horty
'gwan do that stuff
It's not an[Bm]other sound [Am]system
rockin steady as us
And it's cool
[C](Stay cool) yeah

[D](Yeah hah hah, stay cool)

[Verse 5]
Yeah, when [Bm]I'm crusin' in my v[Am]ehicle,
the chase harass me
They [Bm]never ride [Am]past me, they
really comin' at me right
[Bm]They want to know [Am]where the drugs
guns and cash be
[Bm]Probably want to [Am]get me to run,
so they can blast me
[Bm]Just, blast [Am]me in your box, play my shit
I know it's [Bm]crowded at the [Am]top,
cause I'm on the tip
And that's [Bm]as high up at the [Am]top,
as a brother could get
And how I [Bm]do it make a l[Am]ot of
muh'fuckers upset
[Bm]But it's fine,
[Am]re- gizzlin' I'm back for mine
In case [Bm]y'all gettin' [Am]tired of the
same ol' shine
[Bm]And I'm calm,
calcu[Am]lated and perfectly aligned
The way I'm [Bm]operatin' [Am]what is
a surgery of rhyme
It's not a [Bm]thang when I [Am]lower
the gradient lens frames
I'm cool[Bm]er than Clyde St[Am]ubblefield,
drummer for James
Hip- [Bm]Hop is out [Am]of Hustleville,
comin' for change
I exer[Bm]cise 'til [Am]a muscle build,
breakin' the chains
[C]And I'm [Bb]cool[C]

[Verse 6]
