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
