Spoiler! :
Hello?
(Chorus)
I wish I was a little bit smarter
Wish I had a dollar
Wish I got a college education from Harvard
Wish I passed the SAT with more than 950 and became a National Scholar
I wish I was a little bit smarter
Wish I had a dollar
Wish I got a college education from Harvard
Wish I passed the SAT with more than 950 and became a National Scholar
I wish I was like a braniac, in her prime
So I could get into MIT because don't you know they get jobs without really trying
I see it all the time, whenever I ride the Red Line so
Even if I seem smart, I can't scheme my way to that state of mental sublime
'Cause I know the classes are the best down pat and the kids are smart
And they went to Vegas and got dollars
And how can an artist beat that
When it comes to being the smartest of all
I'm always lagging behind or not even there at all
So I sit behind my desk in editorial
Or on the bus going to pick up bananas on sale can't afford them unless the price falls
Waffles,
I've never stood up early in the bus
Before the vehicle stops and we can actually get our luggage
Without flailing like a numb gnat
I say stop, stand, struggle with duffel
Got hit with my goggles
Mad at all the obstacles
If I have to guess
It's me I should blame
When I'm slipping sidelong on the sidelines of life
And not trying harder to get in the game, game, game
(Chorus x2)
I wish I had a scholarship
Thus far, they gave me this grant
And everywhere I go, I find the tab's still Dad's
But when I'm in class I make the room laugh
I make the professor hate me, but friends that do last
And I have work too, a balancing act
And wanna know what's the real crap?
I'm not into what I'm studying, as a matter of fact
I heard that art school's tight so why do I feel dragged out
When I'm there I couldn't feel inspiration if it was Jell-O
Well so many people think it's cool to toke every Monday
I'm gonna have to pick up my supplies and go
On the way home I take the Green Line
Get off at Park Street and tell my homie goodbye
'Cause it's hard to make time
When you're paying off your loans and these cool kids are walking in buying
He looks like a rich guy
She looks nothing like I
I have to say, why why why
(Chorus x4)
I wish I was a little bit smarter, y'all
Wish I had a dollar
I wish I was a little bit smarter, y'all
Wish I had a dollar
(whispered)
I wish
I wish
I wish
I wish
