Lyrics

Well, my friend Prescott’s daddy had a big yacht
Back in my childhood past
We’d’a been a lot more friendly if not for
The fact my family was... low-class!
Daddy had blue blood, Junior did too
But he ran with the cocaine crowd
Partied with crooks, while I hit the books
And guess who’s in the low class now
Poor and sharp-witted!
That’s better than poor
Born with a frown
But I won’t die with it, that’s for sure
Poor and sharp-witted
Beats loaded and dumb
‘Cause nothin’ in the world
Quite gets you fired up like
Gettin’ outta where you’re from
Sittin’ on a John Deere, flippin’ through Shakespeare
Use’ta crack up my friends
But when I got a law degree, a six-figure salary
They weren’t laughin’ then
Even my old friend’s Pop’s givin’ me big props
Money each week by mail
See I got this yacht keepin’ little Prescott’s
Stupid ass outta jail
Poor and sharp-witted!
That’s better than poor
Born with a frown
But I won’t die with it, that’s for sure
Poor and sharp-witted
Beats loaded and dumb
‘Cause nothin’ in the world
Quite gets you fired up like
Gettin’ outta where you’re from
Money…it’s evil and a curse
But if it’s havin’ too much or havin’ none
I choose the first
And runnin’ yer brain too hot
May feel like such a waste
But it’s the bestest way we got
To keep them rich jerks in their place
