NaPoWriMo 2014 - Day 26

Today’s prompt is:
Choose a track from your Playlist – Re-write it in your own words.
Change the title, but keep the refrain close enough to the original
version for the source of your re-write to be recognisable…
Don’t forget to credit the original source…

I chose “Rebirth of Slick” by Digable Planets:

COOL LIKE THAT

“Can’t sleep at night ‘cos the temperature’s rising

I’m realising you’re losing your cool

Foolish to think you can combat the forces

Got the resource; it’s

Horses for courses

I’ll wind you up when the heat is on

You’ll pay the price when the day is done

Naughty or nice, I’m cool as ice is

Virtues or vices

Calm in a crisis

That’s where I’m better

It’s the letter of the law

Can you abide with that?

Reside with that?

Get by with that?

Survive with that?

I’ll thrive on that

Bet your life on that…

You cool with that?”

“Yeah, cool…”
