Cool Ways Lyrics by Declaime, Madlib

In the Beginning Vol. 1

2021

[Intro: Declaime]
Y'all niggas
Stand clear
Train wreck

[Chorus: Declaime]
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
And I gots to have it
New goal, path towards my soul

[Verse 1: Declaime]
This is it, time's up, 'cause I waited for too long
Right the wrong when I'm done, then I'm gone with the wind after I send
Niggas to the deep end when I begin
To open up new pathways in these Cali' ways
I stays on my toes 'cause I rose to the peak
With what I speak, keeping niggas on the streets
And check with my mic check, so don't step
I got this rep to keep up
Never will I slip up
And always run up
On the slow pace
Who disgraces art with they ways and actions?
This is it, no more relaxin'
I'm taking action

[Chorus: Declaime]
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
And I gots to have it
New goal, path towards my soul

[Verse 2: Declaime]
This is it, I've had it up to here with this shit
Y'all trying to feed me bullshit, I must admit
Some of them concepts is cool, but you all know if they was true, you'd be locked up, shot up, or killed
Trying to move the crowd with a fake feel
Make 'em think you was real and still
Weak minds always eat it up
Now I'm getting heated up
So when we meet 'em up
We will get amuck
On the real
I used to pack steel
Now I just chill 'til them niggas like you come along
Say, "My dear, y'all's all wrong"
You might as well quit if you haven't got it
'Cause this it

[Chorus: Declaime]
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
And I gots to have it
New goal, path towards my soul

[Verse 3: Declaime]
I have this cool way of making niggas retreat
I comes correct when I def and delete
Niggas from the stage with rage
Twist your chapter, flip the page
Boy, what you wrote, and, must I quote
Niggas fake ideas
Fucking up shit for years
So I steers in all the right directions
And it's God who gives blessings
Let me reach my peak and teach niggas lessons
Keep 'em all guessing
Question— How'd you get in?
In a battle you can't win
Flat skills I bend
Bring your shit to an end
I aim to keep it all legit
Reach for the stars and never quit
'Cause this is it

[Chorus: Declaime]
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
I move with these ways of words, so when they're more precise
I step towards my goal, paying the price
And I gots to have it
New goal, path towards my soul
