Keep Coolin’ Lyrics

[Verse 1: Raw Elementz]
As I maintain my cool and keep these thoughts sane
On a road to the riches, dealin' with these hunger pains
Fame, comin' slowly niggas actin' like they know me
Niggas usin' mind tricks on me, I'm too wise, I've been Kenobi
Nigga, on a quest for my tribe, like Jarobi
I sword on these beats my ninja, my rap game been shinobi
I spill my heart in raps and niggas still don't know my pain
Obviously my flow is still in vain

Niggas steady reachin', bitches steady schemin'
Friends steady hatin' when they should be motivatin'
Niggas don't wanna see you succeed, at first they didn't believe
Now every time you make a move, they critique
My lyrical physique makes these MC's take a seat
Don't believe these so-called rappers, and they're deceit
A lot of bullshit in this game makes it hard for a nigga to keep movin'
But I learned to ride and just keep it coolin'

[Verse 2: Chuuwee]

Genius Annotation

The whole song concept is a mirror reflection of before and after effects.
Of course the obvious point of the song is to remain cool with all the bullshit the music industry sends your way, but you have a young promising newbee “Raw” telling his story of early troubles, followed by a more seasoned artist “Chuuwee” who’s been in the game longer and has had some shine and spills out his current tribulations. “Chuuwee who’s name been constantly elevating after years of striving feels lugubrious, bearing the woes of acquiring new success, while Raw portrait himself as a promising new comer, dealing with new criticism as he push further along the career path of a growing emcee.” – Yoh (from tapedeck.net)
