Once i was so clever? That i made myself sick
Thought up all the Remedies, but it was a trick!
Read through all the Riddles, wrote up all the rhymes
but either way my Course unfolded in its Due Time.
Once i was so clever? That i thought i was smart!
Dribbled down some paintings, and i called that shit Art
Sat behind a piano with delusions i could sing,
even got a Midwest boy to buy my ass a Ring…
Once i was so clever? That i outsmarted myself!
Took my Childhood Dreams, and i put em on a shelf-
Walked out the Room for a good 20years…
and now my Dreams are dusty but thank God, they’re still here
