Extinction

[Hook] Are any cool people still alive? Or is it all the cool people have died? If all the cool people have gone When will the new cool people be born? Are any cool people still alive? Or is it all the cool people have died? If all the cool people have gone When will the new cool people be born? [Verse 1] I wish that I could give the planet earth a spanking To vent frustrations I allude to in the hook Right now a talent crazy as Aretha Franklin Is an unknown because she doesn’t have the look I find I come across a lot of nonbelievers With the exception of believing in the hype And you’re not relevant ‘less you’re as big as Bieber And you’re an activist as long as you can type As a human I can’t help but feel the shame In my system when the signals are relayed I don’t think it’s that I have a fear of change I just think it’s that I have a fear of lames That’s not to say that i am even cool myself I’m wise enough to know that I am plain not But virtuoso of the smile and nod As I abstain while everybody name drop [Hook] Are any cool people still alive? Or is it all the cool people have died? If all the cool people have gone When will the new cool people be born? Are any cool people still alive? Or is it all the cool people have died? If all the cool people have gone When will the new cool people be born? [Verse 2] Is it better to be talented or famous? I admit to you I wish that I was both But if I only could choose one to be my favorite The answer’s talent and it isn’t even close If you’re gifted and upset that someone else Who’s less gifted's treated like a bigger deal Then your frown’s ‘cause your profoundly out of touch I’m afraid that you’ve forgotten what is real Most people feel that they’re omniscient in a sense And well informed except for isolated incidents If you believe in slavery and in the holocaust But not conspiracy, that’s cognitive dissonance But facing that would mean you’d have to face the truth And become comfortable embracing the unknown To even mention that to you is just a waste You're better off keeping your face all in your phone [Hook] Are any cool people still alive? Or is it all the cool people have died? If all the cool people have gone When will the new cool people be born? Are any cool people still alive? Or is it all the cool people have died? If all the cool people have gone When will the new cool people be born? [Verse 3] Oh my God We’re in the era of trying too hard Everybody’s so afraid to make mistakes Different filters every picture that they take It has gotten audacious The extent we have to take it back to basics Regardless what your race is If you judge people by their race you're racist Perhaps we oughta have a contest As a way to help me put it into context Can anybody rap 'bout some new content Can anybody rap 'bout one new concept Once again I’m throwing stones when I am not without sin I wish that I could look at y’all and not wince But I cannot win [Hook] Are any cool people still alive? Or is it all the cool people have died? If all the cool people have gone When will the new cool people be born? Are any cool people still alive? Or is it all the cool people have died? If all the cool people have gone When will the new cool people be born?
