Stupid Is All You See

Teacher sey mi stupid I wonder if a hol' a gun to her head she would still think I am stupid? Because I don't come from upper St. Andrew mi nuh have the right to a good education? Yuh label mi stupid and handicap Where is the hope for me My father don't sit in parliament so I am not good enough to become someone My parents a foot soldier them nuh drive nuh Benz So stupid is all I am Teacher sey she a go kill mi in seven day Life unfair... if I said that...I would be in jail Shake mi head ...call mi gang fi lick off her head yuh hear sey mi wicked Life unfair Yuh never hear when she sey she a go kill mi Stupid...handicap...that how you all see me Then when I pick up a gun then society ask ....why my yout'? Because you label me stupid. You never expect anything of me I never got a chance If you don't expect nothing of me, who will Miss? Stupid...Handicap that's how you see me That's all you see in me No hope for me So when I rob and kill just remember you made me what I am That's all you expect of me Where is my role model You cant be the person I want to become If stupid is all you see in me how can you expect more from me If stupid is all you see Then you don't see me
