​stay cool

Patrick Carney, Jessy Wilson

[Verse 1]
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 be anyone other than yourself"

[Verse 2]
There's a lot of heavy traffic jammed up in the city
Lot of trains runnin' late right now
A riot of perfumes fills the air I breathe
Street poets telling tales right now
Pigeons gather round' crumbs on the pavement
Junkies stumblin' through hell right now
Kinky reggae cutting through all the madness
Mama I just wanna wail

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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 it's 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

[Verse 4]
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 crackin' crack vials right now
Write my name in graffiti on a wall so if I die
I can live just a little bit longer
I'm coughing up a lung
Cigarillos and a blunt
Mixing goo spirits with some cheap vodka

[Verse 5]
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 it's 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

[Outro]
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
