Everything’s Cool

[Verse 1]

Saturday mornin', I'm off from work

Later on tonight, it's the time for the mic expert

Yeah, but I won't lose my shirt

Since I'm smooth, I play it Kool like Herc

I go to the park and play some ball

I ain't that tall but I bet I can slay 'em all

Ball handle like a Louie Vuitton suitcase

But I lost the ball when I saw a cute face

'Cause girlies me rollin' around 11 o'clock

I'm on the court hot, not missin' the shots

She sat on the bench by the fence, it was time to move

Lookin' intense, but everything's cool


[Verse 2]

She was watchin' every move that I made

'Cause I seen her smile every time I got paid

Then I had a thought, what was she doin' later on?

Went down court, turned around, she was gone

I still had a memory of her physical chemistry

If I saw her again, I'm sure she'll remember me

Played 'til it was dark and went back to the apartment

They quit cuz they know I'm the last brother to start with

Jumped in the car then I'm gone

To chill at the rest until the party later on

In the cassette deck was Kid Capri

Drove up the block and what did the kid see?

Girl from the park, was she eyeballin' me?

Turned the bass down, was she callin' me?

Pulled over to the sidewalk to talk

One wrong move, I won't rule

But everything's cool
