Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No mistake about it, we're not tryna put you down
Offerin' suggestions, bring you back around
Should somebody spell it out, take you back to school?
Givin' you a heads-up, wearing out your cool
[Verse 2]
Waltz inĀ and you work the room, givin' us your lip
But by the afternoon, somethin' else will be more hip
Muddied up the welcome mat rolled out by your crew
Wearing out your cool, wearing out your cool
[Verse 3]
Born to be with it
Now you don't get it, oh
Wearing out your cool, wearing out your cool
[Verse 4]
For the sake of argument, an itch you've gotta scratch
Your eggs are in one basket before the roosters hatch
You don't see a tiger tryna break into the zoo
Wearing out your cool, you're wearing out your cool
[Verse 5]
Born to be with it
Now you don't get it, oh
Wearing out your cool, wearing out your cool
Givin' you a heads-up, wearing out your cool
[Verse 6]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
