Homework turned in on time
Straight A's is what I strive for
Seen as a nerd by most
I see myself as someone who simply wants more
Oh, so I don't have a life?
Because of my grades?
Excuse me for knowing
When to work and when to play
You call me lame, a geek
Ever consider I'm trying to escape poverty?
Saying I was "born smart"
As an excuse
For why I'm doing better than you
No, I don't go home and read
Every minute, every day
Or go straight home and study
Or watch documentaries
Yes, I believe education
Is my purpose
For coming to school everyday
Honestly if I didn't learn anything
It wouldn't be worth it
I have a life that branches
Far away from this school
Don't call me a "nerd"
Because I want a future more than you
