Popularized by the STWO remix, “Stay On My Cool” is a great example of good vibes and great instrumentation off of Jay Prince’s “Mellow Vation” tape
[Verse 1]
Figured I'd get my figures
I used to wanna rap like Jigga
Chilling with the team, dreamclub my nigga
Figured I'd get my figures and make a way much bigger
Mum needs a new crib
That's the shit that a nigga gotta do quick
Flip mode when I get in my zone
Nobody can tell me I won't
Nobody can tell me I don't do
What I gotta do when I step into the booth
Truth, fronting with the new new
Now they asking "who's that?"
Who's who? "Jay, since when did you rap, my dude?"
Since I was a kid, my dude
Just trying to make a living for the Queen, my Dukes
Fake niggas always wanna try and kill my mood
Do you, nigga. Do you, nigga
I'm just trying to make a living, I'm ain't trying to do moves
Never used to think about life like this
Never used to really write songs like this
Came from the bottom of the pit
Now they surprised a nigga reappeared
Now I'm alive, I think about the life that I'm living
Thinking 'bout the time I was missing from the soul
That was [?] sitting in the kitchen in the morning
Told me "keep your head up", uh, "head up", uh
[Pre-hook]
We ain't going nowhere, no
We ain't going nowhere, no
They just wanna bring you down
So we got to tell 'em "no way"
So we got to tell 'em "no way
We ain't going nowhere, no
We ain't going nowhere, no
It's the same old shit
So we got to tell 'em "no way"
So we got to tell 'em "no way"
[Hook]
I stay on my cool shit
I stay on my cool
I stay on my cool shit
I stay on my, I stay on my
I stay on my cool shit
I stay on my cool
I stay on my cool shit
I stay on my, I stay on my
[Verse 2]
Imma tell you how I'm living cause a nigga always chillin'
Yeah, I'm with the homies, yeah, we sipping something different
People always talking but they never really listen
So I'm asking what the deal is
So I'm where the real is
I just want to love live life to the fullest
Imma show you how I do
Because a nigga really did it
Niggas want to tell me different
We don't really give a damn about that fool
Get that, uh, fool back
Ain't tryna let a brother hold me back
Don't give a damn if they told me no
Just know that a brother coming right back
Yeah, I just want to live my life like a brother
That's living right like a brother that's living life
Yeah, and my mother finally smilin'
Divine moments that define the finer things in life
I find that maybe
That is all I need
That is all I need
Good times, good vibes, yeah
That is what it be
Don't give a damn about what people say and
Things I couldn't be
Good times, good vibes, yeah
That is what it be
