This one book thicker my head Has sat for six months by the side of my bed. The bookmark's barely past the front cover. In the time it's been there I've read several others. But this particular book has been suggested By people smarter than me, all of whom I've respected. The type of book that if you read it on the train, You're either being cliche or have a ****ing huge brain. And in the earnest pursuit of becoming the latter, I bought the damn book in the name of gray matter, Print minuscule, yo, I might need a monocle. What did I expect, man? This thing is canonical. I tried to start once, twice, thrice, quit. Now it just sits, leaving me feeling inadequate. I think tomorrow I might leave it on the curb And let it make some other idiot question their self worth. I wanna be smarter than I am But if I get smarter, will I wanna be smarter than I am? I wanna be smarter than I am But if I get smarter, will I wanna be smarter than I am? I wanna be smarter than I am But if I get smarter, will I wanna be smarter than I am? I wanna be smarter than I am But if I get smarter, what then? I love NBA League Pass, But I feel uncultured when people I know ask If I've been streaming the latest thought provoking Limited run series that's truly mind opening. I fear it doesn't come across as intelligent To tell 'em I'm busy watching the Kings play the Pelicans. But I promise I'll add the show to the list Once I watch the other six I've been told that can't miss. From time to time I like to drink red wine But can only describe it as good, bad, or fine. I like art. A museum day? Incredible But I'm not deep in thought, I just ate an edible. It's weird we associate the entertainment That people gravitate toward with how big their brain is. Where's the line between seeking understanding and performing an exercise in personal branding? I wanna be smarter than I am But if I get smarter, will I wanna be smarter than I am? I wanna be smarter than I am But if I get smarter, will I wanna be smarter than I am? I wanna be smarter than I am But if I get smarter, will I wanna be smarter than I am? I wanna be smarter than I am But if I get smarter, what then?
