Fools Gold

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 takin' charge Can't let badman enter my brain Won't walk with no hate in my heart Even when I took Ls, 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 [Chorus] You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool There's things you don't know and that's cool Life ain't workin' 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 2] 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 it out The whole time they're wishin' 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 [Chorus] You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool There's things you don't know and that's cool Life ain't workin' 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] 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 [Chorus] You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool There's things you don't know and that's cool Life ain't workin' 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 [Outro] 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
