Chrisette Michele, Bilal and Dunson - Can the Cool Be Loved?

Bilal

Lose track of things sometimes
Forgive my ways, apologize
Don't remember names all the time
But all the time I'm true

I'm avant garde, hipster
Shows in the park, summer
Live for the art, spiffster
But for the art, I'm blue
I'm only cool, no pretense
I'm on display, no defense
Sayin' what I say, no offense
I seize the day, I move
I'm only real, no magic
Do what I feel, no antics
Don't like it? Deal, no bashin'
I'm only me, just cool

Can the cool be loved anymore?
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Can the cool be loved anymore?
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Spread light and love
And more like that's on the cool, wind up free

I try to act modest
I'm not the star, Art is
I'm just a muse, artist
And to the art I'm true
Tryna make my dough honest
Sometimes I'm real honest
Sometimes I'm pull on list
But when I quit I'm blue

Can the cool be loved anymore?
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Can the cool be loved anymore?
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Spread light and love
And more like that's on the cool, wind up free

Look, girl, I just wanna co-exist
I'm one of a kind
She was kinda the one til she told me this
I'm the one she want but I'm more like Monk
What's the point of being the loneliest of loneliest?
What's the point if all my homies and sisters?
I took you out but never should've spent that
That don't sense
Really? Would you take Billy Holiday to Holiday Inn?
Listen, you could've done better
I woulda put Ella under my umbrella
I woulda took Shacka Khan back in '83
Do it like Jay and B, bring her to Coachella
But now all she wanna do is style in Milan
And when we get there she browsin Vuitton
I guess that's what I gotta go it
'Cause I ain't tryina blow it
I'm a play it cooler than Miles with a horn yeah

Can the cool be loved anymore?
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Can the cool be loved anymore?
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Loved anymore (love), loved anymore (swag)
Spread light and love and more like that's on the cool, wind up free

Can the cool be loved?
Can the cool be loved?
Can the cool, can the cool, can the cool be loved?
Can the cool be loved anymore?
Loved anymore, loved anymore
Loved anymore, loved anymore
Can the cool be loved anymore?
Loved anymore, loved anymore
Loved anymore, loved anymore
