Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be you, I just wanna be me
I don't wanna be cool, I just wanna be me
You don't wanna be cool, you just wanna be me
I don't wanna be cool, I don't wanna be cool, I don't wanna be cool
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna be cool, I don't like being cool
I don't wanna be cool
I ain't tryin' to be cool, what's it like being cool?
I just can't stay cool, I don't wanna be cool
I don't want you to be me, you should just be you
[Verse 3]
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
You just wanna be me
You just wanna be me
[Verse 4]
Okay, I grew up without a chauffeur
Man, I'm talkin' straight out the dirt and sulfur
Only birds in my city is vultures
I mean, back before I could afford a faux fur
I was off in that debt, me and my mama
Hand-me-downs was the only time I got designer, man
Only class I'm passin' is English and Math
I don't know, maybe 'cause they both got commas
[Verse 5]
Maybe 'cause my older bro was on the honor roll
And the other one was always up in front of the honor
So I'm in the middle, like the line in the divide signs
Spending all my money on girls and Sean John
Way before anybody called me Sean Don
I was droppin' fifties man to look like 50
Rockin' pink Polo's, man, shit ain't even fit me
Lookin' for the inspiration that's already in me
[Verse 6]
All the confidence I was tryin' to buy myself
If you don't like me, fuck it, I'll be by myself
Spend all this time for you to say I'm fine
I really should've spent it tryin' to find myself
[Verse 7]
Hold up, it's cool with just me, I'm cool being me
I don't wanna be cool, I ain't tryin' to be cool
I just can't stay cool, what's it like being cool?
I don't wanna be cool, I don't wanna be cool
I don't want you to be me, you should just be you
[Verse 8]
Yeah, is being cool that cool?
Is being a tool that big of a tool?
It doesn't matter if a ****'s wearing Supreme
If a cool guy shits, his shit's still gonna stink
If a cool guy's cool in the middle of the forest
Man, nobody fucking cares
So, why don't you just be the you that you know you are
You know, when nobody else is there?
[Verse 9]
You'll be aware, it's easy, and it's so important
Being cool shouldn't cost a fortune
Baby got her jeans from Goodwill
But I bet that ass look good still
Okay, let's remember that shopping at Payless
It just means you pay less, it don't make you bae-less
If you don't get retweets, it don't mean you say less, okay?
[Verse 10]
So I'ma post this shitty ass selfie on IG
And I don't care if anybody likes it or likes me, it's cool
[Verse 11]
I don't wanna be cool, I ain't tryin' to be cool
I just can't stay cool, what's it like being cool?
I don't wanna be cool, I don't wanna be cool
I don't want you to be me, you should just be you
[Verse 12]
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
You just wanna be me
You just wanna be me
