Kool G Rap & DJ Polo
Play It Kool
[Hook: Rakim sample cut and scratched by Doc Da Butcher]
"Cool.."

[Verse 1]
I play it Kool! Gettin' into it just like a jazz player
Your record player ain't nothin' without the funky rhyme sayer
Kool G. Rap, 'cause to the little I'm an idol
Attackin' the vital parts to maintain my title
Suckas panic, to the ladies I'm romantic
And gigantic just like the Atlantic ocean
As I flow in slow motion
And I be cookin' you suckas like tan lotion
The K-double-O-L G R-A-P and P-O-L-O
Would like to say hello to you mellow fellow
What are you, yellow? You're hidin' like a coward
And I don't allow it, you get devoured 'cause you can't cope
'Cause I'm dope, and you don't have a prescription
So just walk like an Egyptian
My instrumentals ain't up for rental
But come and try 'em, and if you wanna buy 'em, then I'll supply 'em
I got the source of an orchestra
But if you don't pay the cost to the boss, then I'm forcin' ya
You said you're ready like Freddie to battle me
But the real Freddie's Dead and I ain't Curtis Mayfield
All wise with four I's like Mississippi
You try to trip me, but I just play it Kool just like a hippie
To be like G, this is the number one rule — play It Kool

"Cool.."

[Verse 2]
I just glide, these are the tales from the brainside
With lyrics and the beats I provide, they collide to form a homicide
You get dragged in a big bag
Soundwaves ricochet, so watch 'em zig-zag
Off angle, but I'm in shape like a triangle
I need a sucka to strangle with my new single
All rhymes are terrifyin', you're dyin'
You might as well be in a cage with a mountain lion
When I hear the bell ring, I'm swingin' head level
Burnin' your block, my rhymes hotter than Red Devil
So peel off like a potat-ah
'Cause I play it Kool like the music inside a elevator
Doc Da Butcher is a true blue musician
I'm gettin' busy while suckas are goin' fishin' or out to lunch
As they munch and they crunch on a bunch of stolen rhymes
So I just give 'em a Hawaiian Punch
And let 'em stagger, givin' 'em lips thicker than Mick Jagger
Lyrics are sharper than a dagger
Agony! Yeah, I'm braggin', nobody's baggin' me
To the bedroom, your girlfriend is draggin' me
I make the hits radios won't swing, but that's OK
Hey! 'Cause everythin' is still Kool and The Gang
Let's party 'cause everybody plays the fool
But I play it Kool

"Cool.."

[Verse 3]
I play it Kool, makin' you kneel, squirm and squeal
My name ain't Rodney, but I'm standin' on the Dangerfield
And my shows, I bust 'em out just like a virgin
'Cause I get stupid, but I'm smarter than a brain surgeon
G. Rap is here to bury
So duck MC's, I send 'em to the Pet Cemetery
Your whole crew turns chicken when they finish watchin' you die
So please stand by as I fry
You're kinda sour, so I dip you in some flour
Read my book, it says cook for about an hour
Ring the dinner bell, brain cells are well done
It's time you got a story, don't tell none
So this here is the only time I'm sane
So play it Kool, or you'll be headin' for the death pool
I play it Kooler than a band in the North Pole
But I never freeze up, or catch a cold
Never stiff, I shoot the gift kinda swift
Try to riff, and you'll needin' a facelift
'Cause I'm a teacher and a trainer, a preacher and an explainer
World's greatest entertainer
I approach like a coach to the umpire
And like a live wire, I'mma start a dumb fire
This is Kool G. Rap, the principal of the new school
'Cause I play it Kool
