Kool Keith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

[Kool Keith]
Yeah, straight from the ranch
Motion Man {*echoes*}
J. Reno, cool Keith {*echoes*}
cool Keith

I used to rock a booty butt banger with a hanger
Snap back with back slaps, bypass them corny raps
Perhaps some action, maxin in the Turb' relaxin
Unique investigator, sportin More alligators
From here to Virginia, clubs when I step up in ya
Tell the maid from my toes, to my shoulder blade
Extreme act up on front stage, make em back up
You get that workout, that head piece gettin slapped up
Now turn yo' lip up, you drop that mic you turn yo' lip down
I spin on stage like, blowin mics, make you sit down
From here to North Carolina, 95 to South Carolina
Atlanta Georgia Florida flowin down, like I'm water
Mexican Indian, fly girls, the Puerto Ricans
Pum-pum-pump the eight-oh-eight-oh-eight-oh-eight-oh peakin
Now start spectacular, expert, them legs will work
Bronx Bomber watch em strip, Eddy tip that fine mama
Hydraulics expand, while drums bang like Gap Band
I clap hand, take his mic, give him five to my man
Switch his work to talent shows, I do concerts
Light up shirts like 4th of July atomic fireworks
Extraction attack, white backpacks on wack macks
Yeahhhhhhhh...

Chorus: Motion Man cool Keith (repeat 2X)
[M] Clifton! Santiago
[K] Keith, Telavasquez (PSYCH!)

[Clifton Santiago]
My name is Cadillac Clifton Santiago
At the bodega, I need a fat sandwich major
You know my switches, Impala drop, scrapin sparks
I mack these bitches, white Asian Puerto Rican
Black Russian Haitian, with jungle fever, I ain't hatin
A cup more Coppertone, I'm cappin on your kinky ear




Bitches they stare, cause I'm WILD cock diesel
Boy hopin that I recognize they

Overall Meaning

In this song, Kool Keith and Motion Man are spitting rhymes about their success in the rap game and their prowess on stage. Kool Keith starts off by reminiscing about his early days rapping, and how he used to use household items like a hanger to create beats before he made it big. He then goes on to describe himself as a unique investigator, sporting expensive alligator gear and making waves in clubs from Virginia down to Florida. He boasts about his ability to rock the mic and make the audience go wild, referencing his performances in North and South Carolina and Georgia.


After Kool Keith finishes his verses, the song switches to a chorus where Motion Man and Kool Keith repeat the names "Clifton Santiago" and "Keith Telavasquez." The next verse is delivered by a new voice, that of Clifton Santiago himself. He introduces himself as a man who rides in a souped-up Impala, attracting the attention of women of various races, including black, white, Asian, and Puerto Rican. He references his muscular physique, with the ladies staring at his "cock diesel" body. He ends his verse by saying he hopes that the boys trying to get his attention recognize his status and don't disrespect him.


Overall, the song is a braggadocious and somewhat absurd celebration of masculinity and success in the rap game. It features multiple voices, switching between Kool Keith, Motion Man, and Clifton Santiago, and boasts about everything from expensive clothing to impressive car modifications to irresistible sex appeal.
