[Hook]

Are any cool people still alive?

Or is it all the cool people have died?

If all the cool people have gone

When will the new cool people be born?

Are any cool people still alive?

Or is it all the cool people have died?

If all the cool people have gone

When will the new cool people be born?

[Verse 1]

I wish that I could give the planet earth a spanking

To vent frustrations I allude to in the hook

Right now a talent crazy as Aretha Franklin

Is an unknown because she doesn’t have the look

I find I come across a lot of nonbelievers

With the exception of believing in the hype

And you’re not relevant ‘less you’re as big as Bieber

And you’re an activist as long as you can type

As a human I can’t help but feel the shame

In my system when the signals are relayed

I don’t think it’s that I have a fear of change

I just think it’s that I have a fear of lames

That’s not to say that i am even cool myself

I’m wise enough to know that I am plain not

But virtuoso of the smile and nod

As I abstain while everybody name drop

[Verse 2]

Is it better to be talented or famous?

I admit to you I wish that I was both

But if I only could choose one to be my favorite

The answer’s talent and it isn’t even close

If you’re gifted and upset that someone else

Who’s less gifted's treated like a bigger deal

Then your frown’s ‘cause your profoundly out of touch

I’m afraid that you’ve forgotten what is real

Most people feel that they’re omniscient in a sense

And well informed except for isolated incidents

If you believe in slavery and in the holocaust

But not conspiracy, that’s cognitive dissonance

But facing that would mean you’d have to face the truth

And become comfortable embracing the unknown

To even mention that to you is just a waste

You're better off keeping your face all in your phone

[Verse 3]

Oh my God

We’re in the era of trying too hard

Everybody’s so afraid to make mistakes

Different filters every picture that they take

It has gotten audacious

The extent we have to take it back to basics

Regardless what your race is

If you judge people by their race you're racist

Perhaps we oughta have a contest

As a way to help me put it into context

Can anybody rap 'bout some new content

Can anybody rap 'bout one new concept

Once again

I’m throwing stones when I am not without sin

I wish that I could look at y’all and not wince

But I cannot win
