Lyrics
GET SMART
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Chas Evans
Word up, live it, dont just talk it
Treat lies like an ugly locket
Dont think twice, you know you gotta hawk it
Steer clear of evil, just stop it, just stop it!
Stop hiding wisdom in your pockets
Share the flame cuz theres no profit
If you gain the world, but your souljust toss it
Decide who your Boss isfind the truth (gain insight)
PRE-CHORUS
Dont near the wickeds path, never take part in their plans (now gain insight)
Refuse their bribes of cash, keep your vigilance, man (now gain insight)
Dont be a truth-spinner, learn to do what love demands (now gain insight)
Careful when sin lingers, hold fast to the truth
CHORUS
Now get smart, yeh, get smart
Now get smart, yeh, get smart
Fear of the Lord is where it all starts
Now get smart, yeh, get smart
Yeh, Get smart, yeh get smart
Fear of the Lord is where it all starts
The righteous way will glow with light
Crooked hearts lead you down blind alleys
So please, dont despise my advice
Always remember: whos your daddy, whos your daddy?
Dont leave it up to rolling dice
Wisdom says, Keep your eyes always straight ahead
Better take care when you make your bed
Cuz youll lie in it, youll lie in it (to gain insight)
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Son, dont talk out both sides, dont gossip
Acknowledge the Lord in all you do
And Hell direct your paths, wont be a toss-up
Leave lies in the dust, and cling to the truth
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG/END
Get smart, Gain insight
Get smart, Gain insight
Make understanding your closest friend
Get smart, Gain insight
Get smart, Gain insight
Treat wisdom like shes your Siamese-twin
