The Cool Thing To Do Lyrics

Artist: Soul Position
Album: Things Go Better With RJ And Al

Kid: Hey uncle, whatchu doin'?
Blueprint: Aw, just, uh, writin', just writin' down my thoughts. Little song I'm trying to finish up.
K: Yeah? What's it about?
B: Well, it's kind of about, you know, girls, um, they grow up, and how they be feelin' pressure an' stuff, of boys, and...just advice I have to give you some day.
K: Can I hear it?

I know it might seem like the cool thing to do, but having sex with him ain't the best thing for you.
You worry too much about what they think in you, Girl don't define you 'bout what they think is cool.
You whanna be with him 'cause he is the hottest thing in school.
He got the newest gear, and he got the cleaner shoes.
But take my advice girl: Don't be a fool.
Before you get involved with him you gotta have rules.
Rule number 1: Make him call you first. Then ask him if he goes to church.
Not the church alone makes you better than anyone, but if he is only after sex so definitely run.
Rule number 2 might seem kinda wrong, but tell him you got older brothers even if you don't.
Tell him (?) is always around.
Let him know your last man got a b down.
And when he asks you 'will they do that to me?' you say 'only if you raise your hand and never hit me'.
Rule number 3: Even if you don't practice it, tell him you are a virgin and you're all about abstinence.
You ain't having sex cause your parents aint having it.
Your mom is real strict and your dad won't have a fit.
And if you says that he stays on the line, keep him around for a while, it might be worth your time.

K: That's really good uncle.
B: Thank you, thank you.. You know I.. Tryin' make you sure you know what you need to know 'cause.. It's gon' come the time that you gon' need that advice.. I mean, you're only 8 right now but.. Tryn' to look out.
K: Did you write some more?
B: Yeeah.. I gotta, i gotta a second verse i can let you check out. You know.. Promising lines..
K: I wanna hear it.
B: Ok.

I know it might seem like the cool thing to do, but having a baby now aint the best thing for you.
You worry too much about what they think in you, Girl don't define you 'bout what they think is cool.
You are a teenager..(Nothing) but a bundle of joy.
Somebody you can teach hold a girl or a boy.
But you got a life in your hands.. That aint a toy.
How you gonna pay the bills when your not even employed?
I know you think I'm hating just to call you out, but you don't need a kid: you need a paper out.
Have you even thought about what mom is all about?
Momma got a real job, mom don't go out.
Momma gotta drop the kid off in day care.
And when the kid is sick, mom gotta stay there.
I know it probably seems like it really aint faire..
But she gotta work twice as hard cause pops aint there.
Now you can go to sleep if you're feeling tired.
But soon you wont get to sleep if the baby is crying.
You gotta fix a warm bottle plus change his diapers.
Forget about the single moms you used to admire.
Your childhood is gone and you can barely remember that.
The innocence you had, nobody can bring it back.
Now your whole life is dirty diapers and (?)
I hope you reconsider when you hear the fax
