lyrics

I am not a genius but that don’t mean that I am stupid
It don’t mean that all I’m good for is working and consuming
I am not genius but that don’t mean that I’m not special
It don’t mean that I’ll settle it don’t mean I’m not a rebel

I know I’m not the only one refusing to play dumb
I know I’m not the only one who’s had enough

I am not a genius and neither are my best friends but
That don’t mean we’re good for nothing it don’t mean we don’t see what’s coming

I know we’re not the only ones refusing to play dumb
I know we’re not the only ones who want to rise above

We all have a little genius, we all have a little crazy
We all have a little part of us that knows something’s changing

We need a genius but we don’t know where to find one
We need a genius but there’s no one here but us

This world needs you and me to rise above
This world needs you and me to be a genius

Rise up, rise up, rise up
Rise up, time’s come to be a genius
