You scratch your head, you look down and up
You look to the side,
You look inside,
And you can’t find

I suck my teeth, I look up and down
I look to the right
To see if i'm alright
And I can’t tell

To notice that you forgot the answer
I’ll ask you one last time.

Do I look weak to you?
You smile, you stand on top of my head
And proudly say “yes!”
But one more time

So get down,
And just go….
