Stuck On Stupid - Tree

I got good at fucking up because I practice all the time

I got stupid and I got stuck I got left without a dime

I left early and I showed up late

Everybody’s upset because I made them all wait

I never paid it too much mind

Until I turned around and noticed it was all the time

NO MATTER HOW SEVERE I’M GONNA PERSEVERE

I got chased by the cops I got caught and I got beat up

I caught a flashlight across my skull

I was handcuffed to the wall

I got busted I got beat but from my beliefs

I would not retreat

Thrown in the holding cell

Well they want me to rat

They can rot in hell

NO MATTER HOW SEVERE, I’M GONNA PERSEVERE

Stuck on stupid

Tired of feeling always down it’s time I turned my life around

Turned my life around no matter how severe

I got good at getting back I’m not afraid to speak my mind

I got good at keeping my cool because I know how to let things slide

I got good at making mistakes

I’ve lucked out and I’ve had my bad breaks

They got me backed up against the wall

The harder they come yes the harder they fall

The struggle goes on the struggle is long

But it’s always darkest before the dawn

Good things come to those who wait

Well I’m all fucked up but I’m coming straight
