Nine to five, tie too tight, boss on my neck, can’t sleep at night. Bills on the table, dreams on hold, heart still young but my bones feel old. Phone go buzz / brain go numb, scroll too long till my soul feels done. Crowd says “win,” but the mirror says “who?” Mask on my face but it cracks right through. What’s cooler than being cool? (Stay true!) I said what’s cooler than being cool? (Stay true!) Alright, alright, alright, alright! Play it cool / play, play, play it cool. Fake that smile, break that rule. Dance all night, hide that truth, world too loud, gotta play it cool. Play it cool / play, play, play it cool. Fake that smile, break that rule. Lights go flash, mask see-through, heart still beats when you play it cool. Cartoons running in my grown-up brain, Gameboy buzzing on a midnight train. Friends all flex in designer suits, I’m in the corner with comic books. Gold on the wrist / still feel broke, laugh too loud just to hide the choke. Crowd says “real,” but the vibe feels staged, clap for the moment but the soul’s still caged. Who’s sharper than a blade on fire? (Desire!) I said who’s sharper than a blade on fire? (Desire!) Alright, alright, alright, alright! Play it cool / play, play, play it cool. Fake that smile, break that rule. Dance all night, hide that truth, world too loud, gotta play it cool. Play it cool / play, play, play it cool. Fake that smile, break that rule. Lights go flash, mask see-through, heart still beats when you play it cool. Now ladies (yeah?), lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor! Now fellas (yeah?), don’t front now, show that flavor! Shake it / break it / make it right, spin that mask in the disco light. Smile too wide but the truth’s in sight, we all just kids in a grown-up fight. Play it cool / play, play, play it cool! Fake that smile, break that rule! Play it cool / play, play, play it cool! Dance all night, hide that truth! Play it cool / play, play, play it cool! Lights go flash, mask see-through! Play it cool / play, play, play it cool! World too loud… still I play it cool! © 2025 - skvadMC
