lyrics

[VERSE 1:]
“This the sound of the wild youth,
Right here I’m gon’ speak the truth,
Right now I’m getting weird vibes,
Right now you’re saying white lies,
All along the watchtower,
Just watch me transform,
The machine is out of order,
This the calm right before the storm…”

[HOOK:]
“Don’t be a fool…” (2x)

[BRIDGE:]
“Don’t be a fool…” (10x)

[VERSE 2:]
“Life can be cruel if you’re a dreamer,
They always teach you to follow the leader,
That’s peer pressure,
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure,
So let’s get it together,
Never ever, ever take nothing lesser,
Don’t be a court jester,
And never ever, ever mix business and pleasure,
So I’m fluent in this body language,
Don’t bottle up all this pain and anguish,
I’m on a guilt trip,
Wondering right now who built this,
So you clap for the wrong reasons,
And people just change like the four seasons,
So this is déjà vu,
When they reminisce over you, my God…”

[HOOK:]
“Don’t be a fool…” (2x)

[VERSE 3:]
“From here I can see the horizon,
I’ll be good as long the sun keeps rising,
The moon’s got a new face,
These are just some gifts from outer space,
So I’m chillin’ like a villain,
Like a diamond on an island,
I’ll be rhyming until I’m shining,
So ‘til the clock strikes midnight,
You’ve won the first round of this fight…”

[HOOK:]
“Don’t be a fool…” (2x)

[OUTRO:]
“Be fool…” (8x)
