how kool can one blackman be

Singer:kool moe dee

yeah

yeah

yeah

ice water

watch your daughter

your mother and your sisters

aunts

nieces and your wife's ought to

know

ain't nobody safe when i'm in the place

i'm dropping more bass when face-to-face

erase haste with the taste of a steady pace

ain't no time to waste and it ain't no race

you state your case and work your weights

without a trace. and just wait

for double-black to double back and make that move

break it to ya

i'ma do ya

and i ain't that cool

enough to take you plus i ain't just

here to bust

so you know what: it ain't just

another brother or another joke with money

cause i'm giving you something to work with honey

you can feel the heat but it ain't no pressure

when i turn the heat on

the cool breeze'll refresh ya

how cool

how cool

how cool

how cool can one black man be?

how cool

how cool

how cool

how cool can one black man be?

put it in flow-motion

ice cool with a nice cool breeze

native-sung native tongue for the young ladies

dropping rhymes

rocking minds and concubines

treat it like a king of this hip hop thing that rhymes

manifest as a vehicle

and see a full

picture i'm with'cha

i'll hit'cha with mixtures

and become a fixture inside your heart

make you feel the pulse of my beat even miles apart

ain't no mountain high enough

or a valley low

to stop kool moe

i got a cosmic flow

i glow like a moon

it dictates your mood

but cool ain't a mood

it's an attitude dude

it's a tone

it's a tempo

a mindset

a rhythm

a lifestyle

religion

it's just how you're livin'

i'm righteously cool while here and hereafter

i'm so cool that i have to ask ya

how cool

how cool

how cool

how cool can one black man be?

how cool

how cool

how cool

how cool can one black man be?

easy does it

not because it's easy

turn the heat on and it still won't freeze me

internal climate control controls the climate

that's why i rhyme at the temperatures i'm at

usually freeze competitive emcees

and breaks them down in threes

and lights them up like christmas trees

fortified with tranquility

to deal with the trilogy

i got the ability for upward mobility

break calm

genetically athletically mental

exercising thoughts cause i went through

party like a trooper

complete mind fighter

and now i'm known

a super elite rhyme writer

now there's women and millions in dollars and loads

fly gear to wear as the stage explodes

role model for the people cause i keep a level head

when i look into the mirror the reflection said

how cool

how cool

how cool

how cool can one black man be?

how cool

how cool

how cool

how cool can one black man be?

i never lose my composure cause i ain't supposed to

i rose for the occasion

thoughts never froze

i chose

a pattering pattern that patterned to the battle zone

you can get rattled home

so don't even travel

roam

or drift or wander into my vicinity

i'll respond and conk with no affinity

identity scrape

broken down on tape

and it ain't no escape

and you gets no breaks

i make few mistakes cause i strive for perfection

head for the hills if i shoot in your direction

protection's limited

heroic images

are broken down

hell-bound from the minute its

image is amplified

i'll be damned if i

believe the hype of stereotypes

i plan to die

like a warrior

fight until i'm free

how cool can one black man be?

how cool

how cool

how cool

how cool can one black man be?

how cool

how cool

how cool

how cool can one black man be?
