The Roots - Kool On(feat. Greg Porn & Truck) | |
Come get your kool on | |
Stars are made to shine | |
Stars are made to shine | |
I’m in the double G, three-piece tux | |
Screaming dressed to kill | |
Hope somebody call my bluff | |
It’s a full house sipping on a royal flush | |
Two queens is on my cuffs | |
Good times is in the cards | |
Living on borrowed time | |
I’m paying the extra charge | |
To feel like something small is worth a hundred large | |
Swag is on retard, charm is on massage | |
Wit is on guard, I challenge you to a duel | |
Who needs a chain when every thought's a jewel | |
God bless the weirdo when everyone’s a fool | |
F*ck a genie and three wishes | |
I just want a bottle, a place to write my novel | |
I am like heroin to those that hear a rhyme and think | |
How do you find this upper echelon this time | |
Let’s toast to better days, a beautiful mind, | |
and a flow that never age | |
Come get your kool on | |
Stars are made to shine | |
Stars are made to shine | |
Yo, I’m never sleeping like I’m on meth-amphtamines | |
Move like my enemy ten steps ahead of me | |
Say my reputation precedes me like a pedigree | |
Gentlemanly gangsta steez beyond the seventies | |
Holdin fast money without running out of patience | |
Move in silence without running up in places | |
Cake by the layers, rich but never famous | |
Hustle anonymous still remain nameless | |
In hindsight gold come in bars like a klondike | |
The minute before the storm hit is what I’m calm like | |
Suited and booted for a shooting like it’s prom night | |
It’s suicide right pursuers tried like | |
To no avail and a hero’s what they died like | |
I’ve got em waiting on the news like I’m Cronkite | |
Not in the lime light or needed for the crime right | |
No boasts, just bodied, chalked close to the line tight | |
Come get your kool on | |
Stars are made to shine | |
Stars are made to shine | |
Yeah outside where the killers and the dealers swarm | |
And inside they dressed up like it’s a telethon | |
Black tie affair but they holding heavy arms | |
Straight cash with a stash in the cummerbund | |
More Bacardi and the bouncers of the party hum | |
Riots erupting around and still we party on | |
Made the quantum leap to a king from a pawn | |
But it was destined the conclusion was foregone | |
Serenade of the former slave promenade | |
Cause them long days in the sun | |
Have now become shade | |
So we doing high speeds in a narrow lane | |
Say cheese, free falling from the aeroplane | |
Another feather in the cap for all the years | |
That we spent in luxuries lap without looking back | |
Cause memories could sting like hornet | |
Damn it felt good to see people up on it | |
Come get your kool on | |
Stars are made to shine | |
