A letter came today that said I must renew my cool.
If I’m to keep my cred, the balance must be paid in full
Must take a refresher course, prove myself to the board
Show them that I still got my stuff and my strut is holding up
Will I still be me if they take away my cool?
Do I have to be cool again?
Do I have to loop myself?
Feels like we’ve been through this before
keeps coming ‘round
keeps coming ‘round
Records I bought yesterday are no longer considered to be cool
(unless someone else plays them)
I even wrecked this beat with my silly lame ass croon
Life is like a marathon, not doing laps, the same old ground
Trends be coming ‘round and ‘round but what I seek has not been found
Take my cred away
I’ll survive without my cool
Do I have to be cool again?
Do I have to loop myself?
Feels like we’ve been through this before
keeps coming ‘round
keeps coming ‘round
Maybe I can’t give you what you want from me?
You may never understand I will always be me.
Free.
