Verse 1:
Look I just want to fit in
Like the pieces of a puzzle
I just wanna be popular
Break out of this bubble
Picture me as a kid back in middle school
When I just wanted to be known as a kid whose cool
But no love for the nerdy little black guy
Acts white real nice but he's kinda shy
Never got less than As in his grade book
But with the cool kids never got a second look
I joined the track team so i ran a couple of laps
Now I'm running in the booth with couple raps
I always knew that one day
i would rise and make it mine
i just needed some help to find that switch to make my swagger shine
Im Popular

Chorus:
Yea and they'll call me celebrity
I'll be famous for my music and my Melodies
Yea ill have the money and the fame
And everywhere I go people saying my name: D
Yea and ill get standing ovations
I want the world to see me as source of inspiration
Could it be that this life was meant for me?
Well just turn me up and I guess we'll wait and see D$

Verse 2:
Ok
Now I'm in high school gettin all the honeys
It's hard to keep my grades up when the girls is tryna love me
I started acting and I found out I was pretty tight
What can I say I was born for the limelight
The girls love me cuz I started lifting weights
Made the football team and I got plenty of dates
It's funny how I went from jv to varsity
Now all the sudden all the ladies want to talk to me
But I'm still the same nerdy kid on the honors list
Im tryin go to collge on a full scholarship
Cuz my parents couldn't pay for my degree
So what? I found a way to make the school pay me
Yep
but i learned that i was cool on my own
I Got my own swag I don't need to get it loaned
Cuz Now the Prom queen is like the teen mom queen and I'm just spitting fire in the booth while they all scream I'm popular

Chorus:

Verse 3:
Now I'm in college and I'm out here tryna make it but I only spit that real because I could never fake it
There's a crown I'm tryna take it
But it's hard when girls are naked I just want be so popular then I'll reach that greatness
Ahh
In tryin touch someone be somebody's idol
When they're down and out I can be revival
But this rap game is sorta like a trap game
Cuz if you talkin hoes then you just lame
But I don't care cuz I do it for my family and for the people that I know is always there for me
Cuz while these other haters out here tryna chase those girls
I'm out here chasing dreams so that I can change the world
And if I do it man these haters gettin nothin
Don't be looking mad cuz I got swag and I'm something
And If I fail it don't matter I can take it cuz to the people that I love man I already made it

Man I'm popular

Chorus x 2:

outro:
Hey man, you're cool on your own
You as cool as you wanna be
you know? Just be you.
