Lyrics
I'm just tryna keep it cool
Everybody wants to swim with sharks
Don't throw me in that pool
Staying out the way and lowkey
Wish they taught that shit in school
Play my music in your speaker
But don't play me for a fool
They just wanna keep it
But I'm just tryna keep it cool
Everybody wants to swim with sharks
Don't throw me in that pool
Staying out the way and lowkey
Wish they taught that shit in school
Play my music in your speaker
But don't play me for a fool
They just wanna keep it
Yeah, I got spirit like airlines
Yeah, me, I'm fighting for my spot
Go back further than hairlines
If you're praying on my downfall
Then my bounce back game's terrifying
Hearing all types of that input that gets mistook
'Cause yeah, they're lying
Paying for the thrill like fair lines
So artificial like grape flavor
Might take time to earn great favor
Work every day and not a day later
Work all day, whether rain or shine
And I save paper like a day laborer
Don't follow trends, follow wave pavers
When the shift's done, I might stay later
Say when the hate comes, that means you made it
But yeah, I still hate haters
I don't even listen to the compliments
Won't let it influence my confidence
External control is the consequence
Keep it all in-house, that's common sense
Everything costs something, call it straight
They could pay good money, have you stalling wait
Just a little more faith could be all it takes, yeah
So send a memo, better yet, just send a Venmo
They follow all of the movements
Play by play like it's a demo
Got a favor for my friend
No family first, I'm letting them know
Other than that, if you wanna know my M.O
I'm just tryna keep it cool
Everybody wants to swim with sharks
Don't throw me in that pool
Staying out the way and lowkey
Wish they taught that shit in school
Play my music in your speaker
But don't play me for a fool
They just wanna keep it
But I'm just tryna keep it cool
Everybody wants to swim with sharks
Don't throw me in that pool
Staying out the way and lowkey
Wish they taught that shit in school
Play my music in your speaker
But don't play me for a fool
They just wanna keep it
Please don't throw me in the deep end
I just wanna make it to the weekend
I just wanna climb, never descend
I got a family on me, they depend
So I keep going on my own terms
Like glow worms, I shine bright
I've seen that all this shit's finite
'Cause I'm 20/20 with that hindsight
It's scientific, my method
Hypothesize and take notes
I'm throwing things at the wall
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't
I've learned to differentiate
Between what matters and what doesn't
I've learned to recognize repeated patterns
See 'em coming
Might've lost my patience
Might've said some things I regret
If you lose it more than a few times
It'll make you wanna learn to reset
It's a reflex
Slow down, take a deep breath
Even if I got a couple cards up in my sleeve
I can't cheat death
I'm the only one playing the game and I'm the ref
Making up new rules as I go
Keep it cool, never losing my flow
So many options on the menu
I'm perusing it slow
I got the weekend ahead of me
And some cash in my pocket
I made my choice and I'm not worried if you knock it
I'm just tryna keep it cool
Everybody wants to swim with sharks
Don't throw me in that pool
Staying out the way and lowkey
Wish they taught that shit in school
Play my music in your speaker
But don't play me for a fool
They just wanna keep it
But I'm just tryna keep it cool
Everybody wants to swim with sharks
Don't throw me in that pool
Staying out the way and lowkey
Wish they taught that shit in school
Play my music in your speaker
But don't play me for a fool
They just wanna keep it
