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.
