Ben Lawrence & JSteph - the cool kids (Official Music Video)
Channel: Jordan Blaine
Date: 2021-05-07

"the cool kids" was actually created under interesting circumstances. While in the process of moving houses, Ben and I wrote, produced, mixed, and mastered this song all in two days from our manager's small bedroom studio in Georgia. It started as just a simple melody and a few guitar chords, but with a little imagination and a lot of hard work, it quickly transformed from a basic acoustic track into a chill summer beach vibe. The message itself deals with the reality of being popular and fitting in with those around us. In an age where there's so much peer pressure to be a part of "the cool kids," we wanted to remind listeners to just be themselves instead. The upbeat instrumental combined with the positive message makes this one a fun and unique summer anthem for all who listen. So go share it with your friends!! You’re awesome :)

LYRICS
Life gets complicated
When I try to find a place 
Where I fit in, woah
Keep up conversations
Seeing way too many faces
Not my friends
Not my friends

I don’t wanna be popular
I don’t wanna live in a world
Where I gotta fake every word
But my voice is left unheard

Oh I don’t think that I
Wanna fit in with the cool kids
They’re not worth my time, no
I don’t wanna think
That I gotta be somebody else
I think that I’ll be fine
Just being myself

Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Just being myself

People think I’m crazy
When I sit inside my space
That I live in, yeah
And everything may seem
Like it’s so pretty but I hate 
The way it is
The way life is

I don’t wanna be popular
I don’t wanna live in a world
Where I gotta fake every word
But my voice is left unheard

Oh I don’t think that I
Wanna fit in with the cool kids
I’m not worth their time, no
I don’t wanna think
That I gotta be somebody else
I think that I’ll be fine
Just being myself

Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Just being myself

I don’t wanna be popular
I don’t wanna live in a world
Where I gotta fake every word
But my voice is left unheard

Oh I don’t think that I
Wanna fit in with the cool kids
They’re not worth my time, no
I don’t wanna think
That I gotta be somebody else
I think that I’ll be fine
Just being myself

Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Just being myself
