Uncool (Indy Pop)

I'm uncool, yeah, so uncool, And that's alright with me

I'm uncool, boldly un-uncool, That's how it's got to be

If being cool means being cruel, Then count me out, my friend

If style requires tearing down, That cycle clearly needs to end

If I've got to put you down to lift me up, There's something wrong with me

If raising me requires your pain, Then we're all in misery

I got no fire, I'm not lit But that's alright by me

No riz, no drip, no viral hit, Still I walk quietly

I'm uncool, yeah, so uncool And that's alright with me

I'm uncool, boldly uncool, That's how it's got to be

If lifting me means crushing you, That ladder won't hold true

If climbing costs us all our grace, We'll destroy the human race

If kindness makes me seem too soft, You've never seen me fight

My calm was forged through storms and loss, It turns the dark to light

If I must win while others lose, That prize won't set me free

If I seek light while blocking yours, Then darkness lives in me

I'm uncool, still uncool And that's alright with me

I'm uncool, still uncool That's how it's got to be

If I can't be good cause I must be great, Then I will never rest

If I chase praise but fear your hate, I'll fail the deeper test

And I ain't swanky, not the boss But I don't wear disguise

I'm not the cat's meow or all the rage Just learning to be wise

I'm uncool, still so uncool And that's my victory

I'm uncool, proudly uncool Exactly who I'm meant to be

I'm uncool, still uncool That's how it's got to be
