Fools Gold by Manga Saint Hilare Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can't overcome what you look past
You never understand because you don't ask
I tell my bruddas that you can't grow in the dark
A lesson that I learnt fast
Had my share of the bites and barks
Never been afraid to smile and laugh
Life is short and time moves fast
You're the plug for your own happiness
From time I clocked that I been takin' charge
Can't let badman enter my brain
Won't walk with no hate in my heart
Even when I took Ls, I never lose
And they want me to fail, I never do
Fuck their feelings, that's a whole mood
Man don't argue, there's only one truth
They gas and talk up when it suits
Speak on tings but ain't got a clue
Beware of those who chat nuff and can't stay still
Cah that's a mad move
[Chorus]
You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool
There's things you don't know and that's cool
Life ain't workin' out but it's cool
Tings ain't patterned yet but it's cool
You know that you're not like them man, that's cool
You feel like you're not okay but it's cool
Please don't lose yourself to be cool
Don't try be like me, I ain't cool
[Verse 2]
Never let them tell you how to live (Okay)
None of them can tell me what to think (Alright)
I need people that tell it like it is (Okay)
Know that you wanna see the clips (Alright)
Perfection doesn't exist (Okay)
There's hills and valleys and dips (Alright)
Everybody's going through tings (Okay)
So many people don't like themselves
So more time that's why they don't like you
You watch them like they figured it out
The whole time they're wishin' they were more like you
Spend time tryna be someone else
And it's sad 'cause there's no more like you
People tell you you need to change
But really you need to be more like you
[Chorus]
You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool
There's things you don't know and that's cool
Life ain't workin' out but it's cool
Tings ain't patterned yet but it's cool
You know that you're not like them man, that's cool
You feel like you're not okay but it's cool
Please don't lose yourself to be cool
Don't try be like me, I ain't cool
[Verse 3]
Save yourself, that's the hero move
The world is a lie, speak your truth
Don't let them put their fears on you
Say you can't do it 'cause they can't do it
I stay well away, I'm not near those yutes
I won't be another crab in the barrel
Try tear man down is a weirdo move
That's a par, the energy is dark
Better yet, cut 'em off from the start
Their perception is their deception
I won't let their views change my path
You can be anything you wanna be
So there's no point doing anything by halves
You can be anything you wanna be
So you better be everything you say that you are
[Chorus]
You ain't gotta try so hard to be cool
There's things you don't know and that's cool
Life ain't workin' out but it's cool
Tings ain't patterned yet but it's cool
You know that you're not like them man, that's cool
You feel like you're not okay but it's cool
Please don't lose yourself to be cool
Don't try be like me, I ain't cool
[Outro]
Whether it's hail or it's snow or rain
We'll let them know from now
If you're a king or a queen, don't drop your crown when you look down
If you're lost you will get found
I just work and pattern and strive
Everything gets better with time
The power's in your hands, just follow the lines and I promise you'll make it out alive
You can't overcome what you look past
You never understand because you don't ask
I tell my bruddas that you can't grow in the dark
A lesson that I learnt fast
Had my share of the bites and barks
Never been afraid to smile and laugh
Life is short and time moves fast
You're the plug for your own happiness
From time I clocked that I been takin' charge
Can't let badman enter my brain
Won't walk with no hate in my heart
