Jessy Wilson - stay cool Lyrics

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
