Samuel L. Jackson
Half Intelligent
[Verse 1]
Will you fall in love with the man who gave you AIDS
Although you're one in a hundred?
Will you participate in the Running of the Bulls?
I bet you will
Will you take everything you feel inside
Out on your children? Oh-oh
And will you blame everything you ever do
On your own folks?
[Chorus 1]
No! Because you're half-intelligent-
Sometimes a bit belligerent
Sometimes it's hard to find
Someone who blames one's self on one's own crime
[Verse 2]
You say, "Why can't I melt away, just cease to exist
Just for one day?" Oh-oh-oh
Because I know you'll never do the math!
You'll never do the math
I would like to turn a switch to make you self-aware
Quite soon
I hope you don't hate me because I've tried
Oh, I've tried, but you don't listen
[Chorus 2]
No! Because you're half-intelligent-
Sometimes a bit belligerent
Sometimes it's hard to find
Someone who blames one's self on one's own crime
You say nobody loves you
Surrounded by your lovers
One look ahead, you'll realize you're better off than others
[Refrain 1]
Sorry, did I break your concentration?
[Bridge]
Are you gonna let me teach you how to kick your own ass?
Am I gonna make the memory last?
Pretty-please don't complain about the things you don't got!
Shut your mouth whether you like it or not!
[Guitar Solo]
Believe in me
Believe in me, oh-oh yeah
[Chorus 2]
No! Because you're half-intelligent-
Sometimes a bit belligerent
Sometimes it's hard to find
Someone who blames one's self on one's own crime
You say nobody loves you
Surrounded by your lovers
One look ahead, you'll realize you're better off than others
