Keep My Coo
LIL PEEP Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(B-b-bis Los on the track, boy)

I could keep my cool under pressure (under pressure)
Clouds of that loud, like the weather
Showtime, bitch, Kiki Shepards (Kiki Shepards)
If I didn't like you then, then I ain't gon' like you never (like you never)
I could keep my cool under pressure (under pressure)
You could keep your cool, but it take you twice the effort (for sure)
She can not keep your cool, and you let her (and you let her)
I could keep my cool while I'm eating lemon pepper (lemon pepper)

I could
I could, I could
Uh, uh

I could keep my cool under pressure like a fool (like a fool)
Eatin' lemon pepper, with a lepper playin' pool
Damn, my man a Cheetah, no, my man a cougar
I don't put tobacco in my motherfuckin' hookah
Straight sativa, motherfuck a Dutch
Motherfuck a twenty gram doobie with a crutch
When it come to that stuff, I can not get enough
So I'm strictly smokin' wax , 'cause that kush gettin' tax, damn
Catch me smokin' dabs with your dad, why you mad, bitch?
Sad boys, money gain, I need me a sad bitch
My life ain't lavish, I ain't ever had a shit
I'm quick to take that dollar from your wallet if you had it
I be playin' Madden, smokin' weed and rappin'
Ain't no haters 'round him, on my throne laughin'
Lil Peep spazzin', skeetin' on your mattress
Creepin' through the night time, blood on my classics

I could keep my cool under pressure (under pressure)
Clouds of that loud, like the weather
Showtime, bitch, Kiki Shepards (Kiki Shepards)
If I didn't like you then, then I ain't gon' like you never (like you never)
I could keep my cool under pressure (under pressure)
You could keep your cool, but it take you twice the effory
She can't keep your cool, and you let her (and you let her)
I could keep my cool while I'm eating lemon pepper (lemon pepper)

I could, I could
I could, I could, uh

She said, "Why you got so many tattoos?"
So when your daddy see me, yeah, he know I'm bad news
She said, "Why you always wear them black boots?"
'Cause the blood don't show, hoe
I can not, and I will not ever be stuck
It's just a short amount of time before your somethin' is nothin'
You've gotta do what you can't do, 'fore the puffin'
Gon' have to end the discussion, I hear the police comin'
I could smell them from a block away, aroma like bacon
They'd be jealous of the dirty money people be makin'
So then they point their finger blamin' but the judge is mistaken
Was that money for the taking? 'Cause I witnessed them take it
But you ain't got no damn wallet, just a pocket of dust
And the lawyer they provided you will quickly choke up
And what you gon' do then, spend your life in the pen?
Because the cops are corrupt, are you gon' call up your man?

I could keep my cool under pressure (under pressure)
Clouds of that loud, like the weather
Showtime, bitch, Kiki Shepards (Kiki Shepards)
I ain't gon' like you never
I said I could keep my cool under pressure (under pressure)
You could keep your cool, but it take you twice the effort (twice the effort)
She can't keep your cool, and you let her (and you let her)
I could keep my cool while I'm eating lemon pepper (lemon pepper)

(Twice the effort)
(Under pressure)




(Twice the effort)
(Under pressure)
