[Verse]
Head hotter than a stovetop, pressure like a timepiece
Tickin’ on my patience, streets ain’t never been a dime piece
Tryna walk straight but the pavement got cracks
Snakes in the grass, whisper rumors, spittin’ facts
Heavy crown, weight of choices, can’t escape the pull
Dreams feelin’ distant, my ambition on a bull
Runnin’ through the red flags, horns sharp as razors
Cool head’s a treasure, but the heat my only savior
[Chorus]
Cool head, cool head, tryna keep a cool head
World on fire, ice in my veins
Cool head, cool head, tryna keep a cool head
But this storm gon’ drown my name
[Verse 2]
Grew up on survival, trust is just a fairytale
Heart’s a vault, locked tight, buried deep like holy grail
Potholes in my path, tryna dodge ‘em like a sprinter
But the chill of winter creepin’ in, I’m still a sinner
They tell me stay calm, but the beast got claws
When life’s a tightrope, balance wobbles, no applause
Shadowboxing demons, swingin’ heavy for the win
Cool head’s the goal, but the world love to spin
[Bridge]
How you keep it cool when the block so hot?
How you stay composed when the shots don’t stop?
How you keep your balance when the world off tilt?
Cool head’s a temple, but the fire’s gettin’ built
