Good evening, ladies and gentlemen And now for our feature presentation The boy genius
A proud mother smiles and said that he's perfect My first grade teacher was the first to check Big old head like I was born with a birth defect The student counselor, swore I was worse than that Had arguments with my imaginary friend What kind of medication you want to sell me then Just acting out until the director yells the end Life's a kamikaze mission, just tell me when I like the pictures but I ain't really learning shit I know who I am, so I'm not concerned with it We playing hide and go get, now who's turn is it? I dropped out and got a job, start earning it Thought I was clueless but the savage beast, it love music My stream of consciousness is fluid maybe I'll pursue it I put my all into it, proving I can actually do it You better move it 'cause you stupid if you think I'm stupid Now you know what they say Ain't no testimony without the test, come on
It's no surprise that I'm the son of a preacher man And that is why when it comes time to speak I can And when it comes to turning the other cheek I am A lying hypocrite, 'cause you're gonna leak, my man Stand in the corner, count to fifty, little, crazy nigga I'm on the short bus meaning I'll go crazy quicker A Rorschach shock test making an amazing picture I'm at my mother's grave wishing they would lay me with you A girl in school once told me I was ugly Well why the baby sitter keep touching me Just'a grinding pretending like she fucking me And now it actually makes sense, it's because it's me Now I'm a somebody, ain't that nice? My life is a one of one, can't paint that twice Lord, I'm glad I don't look like what I've been through 'Cause it's very ironic but ain't that life Yeah, I mean what's so strange about that? I've seen stranger things happen I seen a monkey ride a motorcycle Hey, man, why don't you show him something?
Yo, now I just doodle and diagram a rhymes design Theories of relativity like Eisenstein So don't you worry about my mind 'cause mine is fine Stigmata, whoever cannot see the signs is blind They've made a monster raw materials and melancholy And I can do everything better than everybody When I'm talking people listen like E. F. Hutton And I'm aging backwards like I'm Benjamin Button I'm an occasion, I'm an equation So if you've had problems 'cause I'm a math problem But that is why I draw the line like long division I write songs, but trust me I'm the wrong musician You see, the courage is a verbiage that's simply said Color you dead, paint the canvas in simply red And this is all in my head, it's a process But my therapist says I'm making progress
So the moral to the story is Whatever don't kill you will you stronger When somebody don't understand you It's cool, you might be a genius
