Be Cool - Live AVS In-Studio Performance

Since the last time we spoke, shxt kind of hit the fan
I left the moon with a vision and a plan
Like fxck the world nigga, I'm a get them bands, but
I crash landed in this bxtch with different plans, like nigga here I am
I been tripping with the fam
And found out I love my missing father like a man
But still I love that nigga, he just didn't understand
Why would I wanna suffer
Instead of picking cotton up, and fixing Massa supper
Nigga I'm a grown man
I think I rather plow, and till my land
And reap and sow and grow from both my own hands
Cause nowadays everybody wanna dance, but nobody wanna stand
And since everyone's a fan, rooting for they favorite rapper
Somebody have to take the lumps, so they can have someone to fantasize and obsess about
Just pay the cost, and be a boss, don't let em stress em out
And lil' homie be cool

One day, you"ll learn and grow with me
Through the fire and rain, I just hope you be cool
Through it all be cool
Hey, through it all be cool
That day, you look, and I hope you see
Everything that I mean, when I told you be cool

Since the last time we spoke, I ain't hardly sleeping
Busy stressing, if my lady and my daughter breathing
Asking questions of the Lord, "Am I called for preaching?"
Nigga, you know what you are, time to start believing
If I couldn't be a artist, prolly fall for teaching
But that ain't no way to exorcise these awful demons
Somebody gotta do it
Somebody going through it
Missing church, skipping school, listening to music
And that's who I influence
I get the bigger picture
Fxck your degree, and your religion, shxt you still a nigga
And everybody bleed blood, so we all need love
Don't let em tell you different, niggaz tripping
They just listen to what they been told
Good slaves, never question, they just play they role
Good phrase for a lesson, "Nigga save your soul, keep your heart"
The devil is a lie, when you speak those thoughts, just be cool

One day, you"ll learn and grow with me
Through the fire and rain, I just hope you be cool
Through it all be cool
Hey, through it all be cool
That day, you look, and I hope you see
Everything that I mean, when I told you be cool

Since the last time we spoke well
Shxt, don't really know what to say
I been wrestling with my problems, tryna throw em away
But it's hard to find an option without nowhere to stay
It's amazing, how impatient you can grow in a day
It take time just to get a start
Before you get ahead, make sure you get a heart
Never lose it in the dark
Never choose a different part
Caue when you get the truth
That's when the world come and try to knock that shxt a-loose
Nigga just resist the noose, never let em choke em up
Might not be the brokest but, my struggle has been mo' than tough
I just keep my focus up, actin' like I know what's up
Looking at the cloud coverage, like "It's bout to open up"
And nigga that's enough, I ain't here to bother you
Talking my issues, like you aint got ya problems too
But if your problems do, find a way to bother you
Let this lil' message follow you
Through it all, be cool

Be cool
Through it all be cool
Be cool
That day, you look, and I hope you see
Everything that I mean, when I told you be cool
Through it all be cool
