Stupid Lyrics

Call me stupid, all of them haters said
That I was stupid, so i just stayed in bed
You called me stupid, that's why i'm like this now
You called me stupid, and that's why I write this down
You called me stupid, but feel free to talk your shit
You called me stupid it's the real reason that i got no quit
You called me stupid, but you dunno what i can bring
You called me stupid, but you dunno a god damn thing

Yea they show me how to do it and ya show me how to do it
And when i couldn't get, ya told me i was stupid
But let me do it myself let me do it myself
16 years old already you a drop out
Finna get reckless cause i'm an 80's baby
A little dyslexic a lot of ADHD
I'm all caught up but i can't sit still
Theres a war on drugs but you hand kids pills
So i make shit hot for the people i hang with
You say hip hop, now you speakin my language
You ain't half deaf, you just don't listen
I take that left, I'm just so driven
But I can't turn right, I go around in circles
And I blow a pound of purple as throwing down the verbal flow
And though it's gonna take time, no one knew the secret
Show them who the great mind, show them you a genius

Call me stupid, all of them haters said
That I was stupid, so i just stayed in bed
You called me stupid, that's why i'm like this now
You called me stupid, and that's why I write this down
You called me stupid, but feel free to talk your shit
You called me stupid it's the real reason that i got no quit
You called me stupid, but you dunno what i can bring
You called me stupid, but you dunno a god damn thing

I couldn't hear the words that he was saying
Claiming i was purposely evading what he was verbally explaining
So the third degree i'm facing cause i couldn't pay attention
I took a late detention tried to put away the tension
But he began erupting, told me, mike, ya must be deaf or somethin
I smiled, he said it's gone be twice as funny when you're nothing
I got up and stared him straight in the eyes
And no one got snuffed - but he fainted and died
Because he couldn't take it, when i put my pain inside of him
A look of hate inside a grin - the crooked ways, the lies and sin
The soot the flame, the fire within - it took away his oxygen
A book of shame, he got a glimpse, it shis brain and now it's been
A lot different - and no one called me stupid anymore
And now i'm just the kinda teacher - all these students ready for
I'm digging underground deep, while you're hardly rooted
And the kid is buzzing now see, why'd you call me stupid?

I never went to pre-school
I never passed in high school
I never had the right tools
I'm who you pass the mic to
Because the way they teach
Isn't a way that I learn
So now a days I gotta slave to make the pay that I earn
With no paper to burn, but it no longer remains a concern
Cause as opposed to class I've grown to have a place that I learn
As opposed to class I've grown to have a place that I learn
As opposed to class I've grown to have a place that I learn
You called me stupid... stupid.
