Sol - Too Cool lyrics
[Verse 1] Uh huh, eyes are open Yeah, closing for nothing Even when we half way across this world, we're onto something Birthday in Brazil, last year I was ill Heartbroken by my girl, she was numb to how I feel Now I'm numb to packing bags, numb to tracking time Guess that's how it happens when you rap all in the sky One moment I'm on tour, hoes blowing up my ego Next moment I'm in Rio, pouring potion with my people Too cool for school so I graduated Got a chance to travel, guess I had to take it Drop an album and it splashes like the fattest anchor But I was sinking with it and I hadn't even made it yet Record labels on the phone, I left them all on hold Did a lap around the globe and went back to wrecking shows Oh, what's the difference now? I've been, I've been around Not your average rapper trapped in geographical sounds I'm an honest survivor, thinking 20/20 thoughts Perfect vision planning for 2020, dog f** your five year plan, I'm on my lifelong hustle Searching for more than money brought me to third world countries Lost my first real hunny, it got bitter and ugly When I forgot how to smile, she could no longer trust me Maybe it wasn't fair, but I was already gone Before she came in my bed and went to parties under my armAnnotate [Hook] Yeah it's hard, but sometimes you've got to do (do it) I know you thought you were cooler than all the cooler (coolest) But oh my god, step out the box and never regret it Since I opened my heart, life ain't ever been better Life ain't ever been better Life ain't ever been better Life ain't ever been better, since I opened my heart Life ain't ever been betterAnnotate [Verse 2] Uh, uh I'm on my Zilla sh** I'm on my one life to live, I don't give a sh** I'mma risk it all and more, so I can eat with the fam And God, I ain't leaving until my people can stand I'm in my momma mother land, writing raps in the back of a truck If we crash I'm done, act like I don't give a f** If it happens, it happens, bad luck At least I was in Port-au-Prince, living it up Spreading my love, yup, I'm out here getting in touch You think you're tough, you ain't ever seen a ghetto so rough City so light, where the kids k** kids in the middle of the day Growing up in the sh**tiest way And then the earthquake turned the city to a grave What can I say, words can't fix the brakes And outsiders don't get the pain And that's why I had to reconnect before I hit the stageAnnotate [Hook] It get's hard, but sometimes you've got to do (do it) I know you thought you were cooler than all the cooler (coolest) But oh my god, step out the box and never regret it Since I opened my heart, life ain't ever been better Life ain't ever been better Life ain't ever been better Life ain't ever been better, since I opened my heart Life ain't ever been better (Outro) Too cool Too cool
