I did have trouble with it's meaning. You seem to think the things you want to say and do (get good grades, thank your parents, etc.) are not cool and your peers wouldn't approve. Or are you being igronic.
It seems you are telling your listeners that you don't want to be part of the group that you want to be independent and yet your are seeking approval of your peers.
Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
I liked it. Keep up the good work.
