#06 - Never Learned to Read

VERSE 1

I have a confession. Might want to sit down.

What you been guessing, I’m ready to tell you now.

When I went school I skipped class from day one.

Wanted to be cool and have a little fun.

Never studied for a test. Never opened a book.

Never gave a care less. Never gave a second look.

BUILD UP

Never learned biology. Never learned history

Never learned chemistry. Never learned geometry.

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

CHORUS

I never learned to read! Stupidest sucka you’ll ever meet.

I never learned to read! Make more money than your family tree.

I never learned to read! My momma writes my rhymes.

I never learned to read! And repeats them back to me.

VERSE 2

So now you know my secret. No turning back now.

You don’t have to keep it. Doesn’t matter anyhow.

Cause I just realized That I’m a celebrity.

Rock Star supersized A pimp don’t need your pity.

Never stand in a line Never open my own door.

Never arrive on time Never stop getting more.

BUILD UP

Never learned biology. Never learned history

Never learned chemistry. Never learned geometry.

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

CHORUS

I never learned to read! Stupidest sucka you’ll ever meet.

I never learned to read! Make more money than your family tree.

I never learned to read! My momma writes my rhymes.

I never learned to read! And repeats them back to me.

VERSE 3

So here I stand Illiterate and rich

You’re working for the man Feeling like a snitch

I cheated my way thru life Didn’t take the beaten path

I was getting by; You were studying math

Never played by the rules Never followed the norm

Never stepped foot in a school Never once did I conform

BUILD UP

Never learned biology. Never learned history

Never learned chemistry. Never learned geometry.

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

Never learned to read! Never learned to read!

CHORUS

I never learned to read! Stupidest sucka you’ll ever meet.

I never learned to read! Make more money than your family tree.

I never learned to read! My momma writes my rhymes.

I never learned to read! And repeats them back to me.
