Sometimes I wish I had more time to listen to the music
appreciate the art, hop in the car and push start
cruising through the mountains while listening to albums
or vibin' to the bassline when driving down the coastline
road trips where music was the soundtrack for summer
but now soon as you drop one, they ask me for another
sorry brother, can’t make the music fast as you need me to
gotta live a little, slow down, can’t be speedin' through
these intersections and lights
I’m tryna make connections and include some reflections of my life when I write
plant something evergreen that’s seen every season
Gotta find your 'Why' that warms you up when you freezin'
regardless, we some artist, we creators, if we takers
then we adding something to it, give it back to the makers
gotta freak it different with a twist so it’s fresh
love when rhymes show up like some unexpected guests
I’m so hospitable High and Mighty 'Hot Spittable'
non-negotiable for me Hip Hop’s not quittable
when I was just practicing y'all found me by accident
clappin' for my rappin' when I thought I was inadequate
Hook:
Yeah it’s cool if you zone out
live in the moment put your phone down
turn the music up instead
bounce to the beat of your own drum
don’t worry bout what they say
yo live your life everyday
man it’s cool if you zone out
live in the moment put your phone down
turn the music up instead
bounce to the beat of your own drum
don’t worry bout what they say
yo live your life everyday
man it's cool like that, yeah it's cool
said it's cool like that, yeah it's cool
man it's cool like that, yeah it's cool
said it's cool like that, yeah it's cool
Verse 2:
It keeps flying, I’m busy tryna slow down time
look at the calendar, been in Texas almost a dime
I’m a simple man really, nah my wardrobe ain't silly
in my closet like damn I'm still rockin' clothes from Philly
throw on a dad hat still I'm clean as a mutha
for my dream I’m like the mouse that turned cream into butter
beat so loud that I can’t hear ya whispering
dance like nobody lookin', rhyme like nobody listening
like a freestyle, tryna live a laptop lifestyle
click and drag, mailbox money and get the bag
sittin' back analyze what's difficult to interpret
but the bass is universal, worldwide it short circuit
they ask how you fresh with no stress?
I pray bold prayers, I expect God’s best
ain’t super religious still these beats get blessed
they ain't messin' with us, see you too easily impressed
they say it can’t be done they tryin ruin it
tell’em shut up, you interrupt the ones doing it
between family life, working and sleeping
I’m pursuing my dreams in in a 4 hour evening
Hook:
Yeah it’s cool if you zone out
live in the moment put your phone down
turn the music up instead
bounce to the beat of your own drum
don’t worry bout what they say
yo live your life everyday
man it’s cool if you zone out
live in the moment put your phone down
turn the music up instead
bounce to the beat of your own drum
don’t worry bout what they say
yo live your life everyday
man it's cool like that, yeah it's cool
said it's cool like that, yeah it's cool
man it's cool like that, yeah it's cool
said it's cool like that, yeah it's cool
