She's new
probably not on your new list
she's waving in recognition
just in case you don't get the gist
why can't we be friends
but you put your snobbishness in ignition
why can we be friends

she's not cool you say
i'm pretty sure you were
when like a sheep that lost its way
you were made into what you are now
and you say 'not cool'?
is cool
famous?
everyone acknowledged you in awe,
even the ones you cannot make names out of
is cool
hooded sweats and a couple bling chains
not being restricted by school rule chains?
is cool
having a gang of ignomores running helter skelter and at your beck and call
is cool
calm but not calm
i mean not talking and speaking at the same time
you know,
i mean talking to the people you think are
cool?
let me explain cool
calm, because you can't talk or rather because
you think carefully, process words, before you let them out
cool is
new
cool is
smart
cool is
respectful and polite
cool is
tolerating
cool is
waving back at that new girl
and sure! why can't we be friends
