Why does everybody wanna be something?
Me, I'd rather just be myself
Talking all loud, but ain’t saying nothing
Seems more like a cry for help
Some days I just really wanna fit in
Most days I don't even really care
Feels like being real is gone missing
Tell me: are you there?
'Cuz I tried this for too long
Tried to fit inside this box: that’s way too small
Now I'm like
I don't wanna be cool
I'd rather just be myself than try and be just like you
I've got nothing to prove
I'm feeling so free at last, I just don't wanna be cool
I just don't wanna be cool
I just don’t wanna be cool, I just don’t wanna be cool
I just don't wanna be cool, I just don’t wanna be cool
Everybody tryna hit the same lane
I took the scenic route and went the other way
It's so freeing when your life got a purpose
That ain't controlled by what nobody think
Spent a whole lotta time tryna fit in
Impressing people that don't even really care
New trends got everybody switching
Tell me: are you there?
But I’m cool being myself
And I realize now your cool don't fit too well
So farewell
I don't wanna be cool
I'd rather just be myself than try and be just like you
I've got nothing to prove
I'm feeling so free at last, I just don't wanna be cool
I just don't wanna be cool
I just don't wanna be cool, I just don't wanna be cool
I just don't wanna be cool, I just don't wanna be cool
So I made up my mind, my spirit on resolve
Until the day I'm die, I'll be myself and that's all
If I don't get no friends, I'll be OK with my dogs
That do not care about your opinions, all they care about is God's
And it's all good
They may look at me as corny, it's all good
Got no regrets up in the morning, it's all good
Me no live for the likes
I just live in the light
Don't understand? It's alright, that's why
I don't wanna be cool
I'd rather just be myself than try and be just like you
I've got nothing to prove
I'm feeling so free at last, I just don't wanna be cool
I just don't wanna be cool
I just don't wanna be cool, I just don't wanna be cool
I just don't wanna be cool, I just don't wanna be cool
