Extinction Songtext
von Homeboy Sandman

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?


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

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?


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
Your better off keeping your face all in your phone

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?

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 your 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 I could look at all of y′all and not wince
But I cannot win

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?
