Cool, Calm and Easy

Ooh

I try my best to stay cool

Why dem so wicked and cruel?

I try my best to stay cool, calm and easy

While the world is set on fire

War and destruction dem admire

Nuff innocents a fall, fi dem man haffi chant a prayer, woy

How come wi still a trust dem liad?

Someday it ago buss, wi cyan't avoid di riot

Why wi nuh lay wi eye pon di genocide in the miggle east area?

Hiding di body, piles, and dem haffi smile in front a di camera

The pickney die cah food nah reach, it's a drama, families left inna trauma

So wi fi rise together and fight dem evilous endeavor

I try to stay calm but dis a no wonderland, oh-oh

And mi still a wonder why

Mi a try to stay wise cah dis world is wild

Try to stay cool, calm and easy after all

Haffi run wen di gun dem poppin', be mentally sharp and strappin'

Oh, still mi wonder why

Mi a try to stay wise cah dis world is wild

Try to stay cool, calm and easy after all

Di rich dem fly to Panama, hide di money, den fly to the Bahamas

Thief di poor man dollar and keep blaming di one dem wid a different colour

Di fascist wave dem banner and don't get worried by di force of order

While di students dem get hammered, mi nuh think it is so normal

Mi cyaan believe dem bag a lies

Look out and realize seh

Babylon watch wid dem devil eyes

And normalize violence wid wah dem tellyvise

Pree smart, be mentally wise

One ting mi advise

Watch who you talk to 'cause money lies

Bet yuh neva know, suh gwaan, roll e dice

I try to stay calm but dis a no wonderland, oh-oh

And mi still a wonder why

Mi a try to stay wise cah dis world is wild

Try to stay cool, calm and easy after all

Haffi run wen di gun dem poppin', be mentally sharp and strappin'

Oh, still mi wonder why

Mi a try to stay wise cah dis world is wild

Try to stay cool, calm and easy after all

Politicians talk loud, the fact is they're puppets on a string, real-life actors

Not for the people, but there for the taxes, burn up any one of dem pagans, standard

Real-life sadness, watching the TV's madness

Genocide, it gets sidetracked, helpless

Too easy for the cunts that dealt dis (Wah gwaan?)

Care for the people you know, but the ones that you don't know need it more

They're done with the war, they're born into that

It's deep to the core, but the human life ain't a score

They be shovelling, hiding, running, try to get to safe ground yet begging

Worldwide, people, they're protesting, but the governments never gonna listen (Why?)

Money and power, run by cowards living their life in towers

Counting life by the hours, leaving a taste all bitter, manna wanna call that sour

Learn to be loving, stop all the beefing, everyone's equal, all got feelings

Education is key, everyone stand together and listen

I try to stay calm but dis a no wonderland, oh-oh

And mi still a wonder why

Mi a try to stay wise cah dis world is wild

Try to stay cool, calm and easy after all

Haffi run wen di gun dem poppin', be mentally sharp and strappin'

Oh, still mi wonder why

Mi a try to stay wise cah dis world is wild

Try to stay cool, calm and easy after all

I try to stay calm

But I'm still searching for a sign to restore my faith in human kind, woah-oh-oh

Try to stay wise

Wisdom haffi find, tek care a di older and di younger one, hey

Try to stay calm

Cool and calm and keep level-headed

I recommend you follow that method

Keep it strong 'til the story's ended

Try to stay wise

Spreading that love and light through music until we die

Keeping them spirits alive
