Stay Cool Chords by The Roots

_ [Bm] Bass [Am] when your face hides, so [Bm] your eyes don't blink
[Am] Black anchors arrive, all [Bm] rise
Rule 1's keep [Am] that thing at your side, be [Bm] alright
Motherfuckers, Philly, [Am] we up in here, we [Bm] all live
I'm puffin' this [Am] cohiba, mami cool in her [Bm] heels
All she ever seem [Am] to do is play it cool, for [Bm] real
She be pushin' pop, [Am] that's what's in her shoes, that's [Bm] it
But her hand keeps [Am] slippin' on the wood grain [Bm] whip
But it's cool, we never [Am] slippin' when it's moves to [Bm] make
Especially when what we [Am] talkin' ain't your usual [Bm] case
I pump bass for y [Am]'all bathin' apes, to get [Bm] charged
Nah, I'm not [Am] a dealer, I'm a poet at [Bm] large
We in the wind with the [Am] roof back, lettin' the [Bm] breeze hit us
The bathrobe [Am] on, the sweatpants and [Bm] slippers
Comin' to pay [Am] a visit to whoever on the [Bm] hit list
Some of y'all been [A] tryin' for years, you never [C] get this fool

[Bm] Crip hop my main [Am] bitch, I got a few on the [Bm] side
The game sticks, yo, I'm [Am] doin' my job
Grew up [Bm] against the norm, it's odds, [Am] wouldn't break a sweat
Money [Bm] make a bet, funny son, you [Am] a threat
But I ain't shakin' [Bm] yet, 24-7 [Am] killin'
Tougher than pen and [Bm] stillin' from the block
With a [Am] crooked cop, killin' like a [Bm] villain
Children in the [Am] hood gettin' rocked
[Bm] Bodybuilders and brothers, across [Am] the board
Gettin' knocked by the [Bm] millions, distressed
Got me [Am] ignitin' the potent [Bm] marijuana leaf
Tryin' to play it [Am] cooler than the polar bear [Bm] colony
You feel the [Am] music norm over there, [Bm] probably
Flippin' on the [Am] same system that forever [Bm] shorted me
I got the [Am] soul of a young Sam [Bm] Cooke when I spit
It make you [Am] wanna make a new dance up
[Bm] It's all to the good, [Am] shorty, go on, do that stuff
[Bm] It's not another sound [A] system, rockin' steady as I

Yeah, [Bm] when I'm cruisin' in my [Am] vehicle, the chase [Bm] harass me
They never ride [Am] past me, they really comin' [Bm] at me, right
They want it [Am] more with the drugs, guns, and [Bm] cash
They probably wanna [Am] get me to run so they can [Bm] blast me
Just blast me [Am] in your box, play my shit
[Bm] I know it's padded at the [Am] top, cause I'm on the tip
[Bm] And that's as high up at the [Am] top as a brother could get
[Bm] And how I do it make a [Am] lot of motherfuckers upset
[Bm] But it's fine, read [Am] Zizzle and I'm back on my
[Bm] In case y'all gettin' [Am] tired of the same old shot
[Bm] And I'm calm, [Am] calculated and perfectly aligned
[Bm] The way I'm operatin', [Am] what is it, surgery or rhyme?
[Bm] It's not a thang when I [Am] lower the gradient lens [Bm] frames
I'm cooler than Clyde [Am] Stubblefield, drummer for [Bm] James
Hip hop is out of [Am] Hustleville, comin' for [Bm] change
I exercise till the [D] muscle feel, breakin' the [Em] chains and I'm cool
