Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You can't overcome what you look past

You never understand because you don't ask

I tell my bruddas that you can't grow in the dark

A lesson that I learnt fast

Had my share of the bites and barks

Never been afraid to smile and laugh

Life is short and time moves fast

You're the plug for your own happiness

From time I clocked that, I been taking charge

Can't let badman enter my brain

Won't walk with no hate in my heart

Even when I took L's, I never lose

And they want me to fail, I never do

Fuck their feelings, that's a whole mood

Man don't argue, there's only one truth

They gas and talk up when it suits

Speak on tings but ain't got a clue

Beware of those who chat nuff and can't stay still

Cah that's a mad move

[Verse 2]

You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool

There's things you don't know and that's cool

Life ain't working out but it's cool

Tings ain't patterned yet but it's cool

You know that you're not like them man, that's cool

You feel like you're not okay but it's cool

Please don't lose yourself to be cool

Don't try be like me, I ain't cool

[Verse 3]

Never let them tell you how to live (Okay)

None of them can tell me what to think (Alright)

I need people that tell it like it is (Okay)

Know that you wanna see the clips (Alright)

Perfection doesn't exist (Okay)

There's hills and valleys and dips (Alright)

Everybody's going through tings (Okay)

So many people don't like themselves

So more time that's why they don't like you

You watch them like they figured out

The whole time they're wishing they were more like you

Spend time tryna be someone else

And it's sad 'cause there's no more like you

People tell you you need to change

But really you need to be more like you

[Verse 4]

You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool

There's things you don't know and that's cool

Life ain't working out but it's cool

Tings ain't patterned yet but it's cool

You know that you're not like them man, that's cool

You feel like you're not okay but it's cool

Please don't lose yourself to be cool

Don't try be like me, I ain't cool

[Verse 5]

Save yourself, that's the hero move

The world is a lie, speak your truth

Don't let them put their fears on you

Say you can't do it 'cause they can't do it

I stay well away, I'm not near those yutes

I won't be another crab in the barrel

Try tear man down is a weirdo move

That's a par, the energy is dark

Better yet, cut 'em off from the start

Their perception is their deception

I won't let their views change my path

You can be anything you wanna be

So there's no point doing anything by halves

You can be anything you wanna be

So you better be everything you say that you are

[Verse 6]

You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool

There's things you don't know and that's cool

Life ain't working out but it's cool

Tings ain't patterned yet but it's cool

You know that you're not like them man, that's cool

You feel like you're not okay but it's cool

Please don't lose yourself to be cool

Don't try be like me, I ain't cool

[Verse 7]

Whether it's hail or it's snow or rain

We'll let them know from now

If you're a king or a queen, don't drop your crown

When you look down

If you're lost you will get found

I just work and pattern and strive

Everything gets better with time

The power's in your hands, just follow the lines

And I promise you'll make it out alive
