Tree - Stuck on Stupid lyrics

I got good at f**ing up because I practice all the time I got stupid and I got stuck I got left without a dime I left early and I showed up late Everybody's upset because I made them all wait I never paid it too much mind Until I turned around and noticed it was all the time NO MATTER HOW SEVERE I'M GONNA PERSEVERE I got chased by the cops I got caught and I got beat up I caught a flashlight across my skull I was handcuffed to the wall I got busted I got beat but from my beliefs I would not retreat Thrown in the holding cell Well they want me to rat They can rot in hell NO MATTER HOW SEVERE, I'M GONNA PERSEVERE Stuck on stupid Tired of feeling always down it's time I turned my life around Turned my life around no matter how severe I got good at getting back I'm not afraid to speak my mind I got good at keeping my cool because I know how to let things slide I got good at making mistakes I've lucked out and I've had my bad breaks They got me backed up against the wall The harder they come yes the harder they fall The struggle goes on the struggle is long But it's always darkest before the dawn Good things come to those who wait Well I'm all f**ed up but I'm coming straight
