You Read the Books I Read the People

Is it the ignorance that you exploit or is it the confidence that they appoint when something’s so stupid it wasn’t considered it was overlooked and therefore it delivered something so dumb that it isn’t suspected creeps through the net totally undetected If they think you’re blonde then it’s there too play up to straight through the pigeon hole they’ve put before you only the dumb place people in categories a lack of foresight from those not visionaries intelligent people can lose their advantage thinking it is so easy they don’t need to manage I meet expectations they think are true by playing it dumb so they haven’t a clue then it’s bad luck or some sort of coincidence never suspecting of planned incidence but most people see there’s a point to be proved trying to show they’re not stupid as accused but why would I care when they think me so low just take the room they’ve given and use it to go you wanna see stupid then that’s what you’ll see you’re looking for stupid then that’s what I’ll be Even if I’m stupid I’m still better than you judging people in the way that you do absorb information and calculate too but reading people isn’t within your view missing the variable from your equation and that variant is there for exploitation a full gone conclusion ahead of the game that prediction is destined to bring shame you’ve worked me out and you seek indicators but I’ve worked you out from all your behaviours you think my awareness can’t cope and won’t notice and as a result I move out of your focus I just do dumb things when you’re in the room doing exactly what you have assumed you might have the grammar the maths or the science you’re playing a game that I win with defiance cus people have played this game throughout my life the signs are something I can see without light It’s simple I just meet the bar that you’ve set you shouldn’t judge people you’ve only just met it’s done too manipulate for selfish gain there aren’t many victories put in your name that shallow vanity used to feed the ego someone below wanting better than equal I don’t meet people and need to compete but you do because you’re so hopelessly weak so think me as lesser and I’ll better you after it’s happened you’ll be left confused you do this because of an instinctive need something you’re not that you wish you could be something you’re not but you see it in me I guess clever doesn’t solve insecurity
