Smart Guy ft. J Loryn 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
