[Intro]

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

[Verse 1: Kool Moe Dee]

Ice water, watch your daughter
Your mother and your sisters, aunts
Nieces and your wifes 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`mma 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

[Hook]

How cool
How cool
How cool
How cool can one blackman be? [x2]

[Verse 2: Kool Moe Dee]

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 wit`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 blow 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

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Kool Moe Dee]

Eaaaasy does it, not because it`s easy
Turn the heat on and it still won`t freeze me
Internal climate control controls the clim-ate
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 one in the millions, and 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

[Hook]

[Verse 4: Kool Moe Dee]

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 Kool Can One Blackman Be?
