Ramond, J Loryn - Smart Guy Lyrics

He's a Smart Guy
Smart Guy, Smart Guy
When I was young I felt like TJ Henderson
Super intelligent but what they don't tell you is
A lot of people have a hard time being smart why
They make you out to be different when you a smart guy
It wasn't cool to be smart
My pops used to tell me it ain't smart to try to be cool
Trying to fit in with the crowd to be a part of the crew
And as you get a little older that gets harder to do
But back in high school with an IQ you know how it go
Baddies wasn't checking for the dudes that be on honor roll
Little did they know the nerds could be the upper echelon
Turn into a Leprechaun and lead them to a pot of gold
But thinking back that didn't feel like a fact
Especially around a culture that would treat you like you whack
Especially when you act a little different than the pack
And to keep it real especially when you black
He's a Smart Guy
Smart Guy
Smart Guy
He's a Smart Guy
Smart Guy
Smart Guy
I imagine it would be hard if you grew up Childish
Gambino round some people that was super childish
Man I heard him say that he was still a virgin until a Junior in college
Damn guess it's better than acting stupid and popping
See you could be operating at a higher level frequency
And still have the world tell you you ain't where you need to be
You just gotta stick it out until the doubt pass
It's okay to be a Outkast
You feel like if you tune it you just might get picked on
Or will you give a fuck about what others say and get gone?
Or you gon close your hand on everything you are and live wrong
And put a ending to your calling something like a flip phone
I mean you can have drive but you gotta learn to steer
You gotta let the fear of being you disappear
Its easier said than done when it's pressure from your peers
And when you was growing up you was treated like you weird because you a
Smart Guy
Smart Guy
Smart Guy
He's a Smart Guy
Smart Guy
Smart Guy
Gotta figure it would be hard to be like a Jordan
Peele didn't have the same appeal as Michael Jordan
Just to be real
Just imagine having vision around people that's all blinded
Having big ideas around people that's small minded
And the type of things you think about you had to hold it in
Cause they would all be looking at you crazy if you told your friends
You gotta choose whose story you tryna live out
We all got another side to US we gotta GET OUT
Look a lot of bosses used to be like Steve Urkel in life
Overlooked by jocks cause they was seen as the nerdiest types
But life's a restaurant and tables get turned every night
Nerds employ the niggas that bullied them circle of life
Be creative man we all on different pages
Don't get caught up in comparisons we all on different stages
So if you ever thinking you ain't where you wanna be at
Recognize that some peak early and you ain't peak yet be smart
He's a Smart Guy
Smart Guy
Smart Guy
He's a Smart Guy
Smart Guy
Smart Guy
Man it's almost like
They treat it like it like it ain't cool to be smart
Until you make a play smart enough to be considered a genius
But if you stick with it long enough
Tune into the person that you really are
It's only a matter of time until you create your own world
Be smart

He's a Smart Guy
Smart Guy, Smart Guy
