[Intro:] Ahhh, damn it's hot in here... but you know what? [Refrain:] I stay cool (yes I will) I stay cool (oh yes I will) I stay cool [Verse 1:] Yeah, I need to unwind and loosen up Lay back and chill out Cause I don't feel like doing much I need to calm down, take a break Kick back, relax, let the day just fade away And yeah I guess it is the weekend And my boy wants to club hop But I can barely stay awake I'll lay in bed, give me a hammock and a sandwich and I'm chilling Plus I don't play the dating game Nah I'm staying home playing crazy eights Maybe blaze a J Play some old Jay-Z tapes (uhh) Or I can play a lil Babyface Get my lady in the mood And bang her with my babycakes The world is running at a dangerous pace To keep up we've got these Red Bulls and Gatorades I'm trying to slow down and walk this amazing race Oh life is such a crazy place [Refrain] [Hook:] And when you're on your last nerve, stay cool When the heat's on, chill Under pressure, calm down, breathe to the beat Stay cool under pressure Chill when the heat's on Calm down, breathe to the beat [Verse 2:] Now can you hear the calmness of my voice The coolness of my flow The relaxed attitude When I choose to let it go Everybody's too excited Worried, getting amped up Feeling like a prisoner Handcuffed with their hands up (get em up) Nah bring it down a bit I like the energy But in the right amount of it I'm trying to stay cool and calm When we're living in express mode Trying to hustle hard And turn our shack into the penthouse Puddle to a lake, canoe into the love boat Upgrade your life but without sunshine it's sunstroke It's too hot and I realize Ì got a way to go And all I need to get me there is water and a way to float If you ain't happy broke, you won't be happy rich Don't spend your whole life unhappy trying to capture it Relax a bit, loosen up your suit and tie And your collar quick before you call it quits [Refrain] [Hook] [Verse 3:] And I don't need no stunner shades I keep it cool like a rain shower On a hot summer's day Sweating in the running race Push on (and on) When it's hard for you to go on Cause life's tough and life's f**ed And so on and so on The bills don't stop, the rent's not paid The baby's crying, mamma's yell Another hot day and when you sweating And you bought to blow ya top through the roof Take a breath and breathe man don't lose your cool (I stay cool) [Refrain] [Hook]
