I'M Not Stupid

When you’re stupid, it’s hard to succeed. When you’re stupid, you’re always in need. When you’re stupid, every moment is fear. When you’re stupid, nothing is clear. I’ve never been stupid, at least that’s what I thought. I’ve never been stupid, learned all I was taught. I’ve never been stupid, gotten all that I sought. I’ve never been stupid, then one day I was caught. Now I’m stupid, my lifestyle is not fun. Now I’m stupid, I‘ll forever be done. Now I’m stupid, no value to none. Now I’m stupid, my wits no longer have won. Advice to you stupid, hear these words that I’ve said. Advice to you stupid, you’re still breathing, not dead. Advice to you stupid, keep at it instead. Advice to you stupid, life is beautiful, not dread. Why am I stupid, I’ve lost all that I’ve known. Why am I stupid, over 60, broke and living alone. Why am I stupid, each day I’m overblown. Why am I stupid, can’t find my way home. OK, Stupid, your life’s in the gutter. OK, Stupid, your heart’s all aflutter. OK, Stupid, you’ve lost your life’s rudder. OK, Stupid, it’s one way or the other. Listen Stupid, you have only one choice. Listen Stupid, celebrate every day and rejoice. Listen Stupid, the world will hear your voice. Listen Stupid, From that the lives you will hoist. You’re not stupid, the world has changed. You’re not stupid, it’s just been rearranged. You’re not stupid, things just aren’t the same. You’re not stupid, just have to keep playing the game. I’m not stupid, I’m sharp as a tack. I’m not stupid, just watch me react. I’m not stupid, I’m prepared to attack. I’m not stupid, You’ve not seen my last act.
