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
