i remember that one time 
Hev called on my way from port authority to atlantic city 
and he was like 'jess you been writing?'
'just remember don't ever be anyone other than yourself' 
 
theres a lot a heavy traffic jammed up in the city 
lot a trains runnin late right now 
i riot of perfumes fills the air i breathe
street poets tellin tales right now
pigeons gather round crumbs on the pavement 
junkies stumbling through hell right now 
kinky reggae cutting through all the madness
mama i just wanna wail 
 
you're high then you're low 
ya hot then ya cold 
you're young then you're old 
ya junk then ya gold 
but you gotta stay 
 
cool like my mama made
cool like the box when the bills stay paid 
cooler than some ice on a hot summer day 
in my liquor 
cool cause its all we got 
cool my expression when the block gets hot 
even though we know we go through a lot 
 
we just gotta stay 
cool 
you know we gotta stay 
cool
 
daddy got his green card but he lost his woman 
brother out there doing deals right now
walking to the pop, pop, pop, of a .45
sneakers cracking crack vials right now 
write my name in graffiti on a wall so if i die 
i can live just a little bit longer 
im coughing up a lung 
cigarillos and a blunt 
mixing good spirits with some cheap vodka 
 
cool like my mama made
cool like the box when the bills stay paid 
cooler than some ice on a hot summer day 
in my liquor 
cool cause its all we got 
cool my expression when the block gets hot 
even though we know we go through a lot 
 
we just gotta stay 
cool 
you know we gotta stay 
 
you're high then you're low 
ya hot then ya cold 
you're young then you're old 
ya junk then ya gold 
the world is cold 
but you can't lose your soul
you just gotta stay  
everybody stay
you know we gotta stay 
namaste 
cool
