NOT COOL [Intro] [Old-school beat, vinyl scratch] Yo You know what? Nah That's not cool [Verse 1] Talk behind backs then smile in their face Act real friendly when they're in the same place Someone falls down and you laugh instead Could've helped them up But you filmed it instead Borrow something, never bring it back Get called out, then you change the facts Take all the credit when the whole crew worked Then wonder why everybody looks hurt Come on [Chorus] Not cool Nah, that's not cool You know better Don't play the fool Not cool Nah, that's not cool Little bit of respect That's the simplest rule Don't need drama Don't need cruel You know what's right You know what's true If you wouldn't want it Done to you Then don't do it That's not cool [Scratch] NOT COOL! [Verse 2 - rhythmic rap] Cut in the line like nobody's there Leave your mess like somebody else should care Talk real big when your friends come around Then suddenly quiet when they're not around Make a promise then disappear Only show up when you need something here Someone succeeds and instead of respect You find one little thing you can criticize next Why? Does making them smaller make you feel tall? Doesn't really work like that at all You don't look strong when you're acting cruel Everybody sees it That's not cool [Instrumental Break - 8 bars] [Old-school boom-bap break] [Funky bass, scratches, chopped samples] [No vocals] [Verse 3 - faster rap] Taking what's theirs Not cool Making them scared Not cool Talking that trash Not cool Stabbing their back Not cool Breaking their trust Not cool Laughing at pain Not cool Doing them wrong Then blaming them? Man That's lame Respect ain't hard Don't need a degree Treat other people how you'd wanna be You don't need money You don't need rules Just don't be the person Making life less cool [Chorus] Not cool Nah, that's not cool You know better Don't play the fool Not cool Nah, that's not cool Little bit of respect That's the simplest rule Don't need drama Don't need cruel You know what's right You know what's true If you wouldn't want it Done to you Then don't do it That's not cool [Extended B-Boy Break - 16 bars] [Hard boom-bap drums] [Funky bassline, turntable scratches] [Beat cuts and chopped vocal: "NOT COOL"] [No lead vocals] [Bridge - spoken rap] Everybody messes up That's normal Own it Fix it Move on But doing people wrong Knowing it's wrong And doing it anyway? Come on [Final Chorus] Not cool Nah, that's not cool Show some respect That's the golden rule Not cool Nah, that's not cool Don't need a lecture You already knew Think before you act Before you choose Everybody's got something They can lose It ain't complicated It ain't new Don't be that person That's not cool [Scratch] NOT COOL! [Outro] Yeah Be better than that [Final beat]
