We gotta motto to represent the mood that we be in
That we be in c’mon
We stay mellow, stay smooth, stay cool, let it move with the wind
Tell it to you again so you know
We gotta motto to represent the mood that we be in
That we be in c’mon
We stay mellow, stay smooth, stay cool, if you can choose it well then
What better mood to be in? I don’t know

Ay yo man, what’s wichya face?
Lookin’ all squished up wrinkles in ya forehead
Eyebrows gettin’ close to ya nose
With the corner of ya lips pointed down at the floor man
What’s that? Ya mad face? Well oh damn
I’d advise when you wanna show that, to hold back
You lookin’ silly but really wuddn’t goin’ for that
All worked up, but for what? Make no sense
Stop and think about it a moment
Take a deep breath, oh yeah
All gassed up but need to slow down
Simmer simmer down y’all it ain’t so bad
It’s a mind state, divine place that all can
Come to find just gotta get with the program
Understand that it’s all on you
And notta ‘nother can take you outta ya zone man
No say in, no fazin’, no chance
I remain in this amazin’ mode and
If ya wanna too, remember these four things
Stay mellow, stay smooth, stay cool, stay golden

Ima wake up and get mine homie (homie)
Soon as my eyes unzip I’m on it (on it)
I’m out the door!
With an extra pep in my step feelin’ fresh to death from my head to my toes
Tell it by the way that I walk (like a pimp!)
Movin’ like Jell-o cuz mellow is my mode
Ima stay in this place so don’t bother (don’t bother)
With the drama, not about it, not today, not tomorrow (‘marra)
cool as a cucumber smooth operator
As-salāmu ‘alaykum Namasté mutha fucka!

If it hasn’t made it through
Tell it to you again
I remain in this cool
Mellow mood that I’m in
Not a thing to prove
Got no room to pretend
Never move, stay true to the mood that I’m in

If it hasn’t made it through
Tell it to you again

You crazy if thinkin’ you’d faze me, I doubt it
Ima stay in this place so don’t even think about it
Cool as a cucumber smooth operator
Lose the attitude or dude I’ll see you later

Ima maintain, whatever they sayin’ about it
Not hearin’ a dang thang even if they were to shout it
Ima do what I do and what I do everyday
Is stay coolin’ and I do it in the mellowest way
