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
