I’ve been studying my ass off like it’s gonna help
To increase my bottom line by improving myself
You see if I’m intelligent then it gives me an edge
At least that’s what I used to think until this book that I read
It’s called the Magic of Thinking Big, a classic of sorts
It gets a little metaphysical that’s par for the course
Typical jargon bout believing but what struck me as new
Was that intelligence cannot compare to attitude
What you know cannot compare to how you’re feeling about
Any given situation like if you’re going out
You may know you need to do it, and even know how
But how is that supposed to serve you if you’re feeling down
That’s attitude, and it has an affect
Greater than any knowledge coming from a book that you read
That’s attitude, it affects your results
Far beyond the facts you gathered from the books that you bought
That’s attitude, and it has an affect
Greater than any knowledge coming from a book that you read
That’s attitude, it affects your results
Far beyond the facts you gathered from the books that you bought
Work smarter, not harder
But most won’t even get up off the god damned couch
So what’s it matter if you know it all, when you’re going to stall
If your attitude is lacking you won’t go at all
Are you seeing the equation
People rarely stay home for lack of information
It’s all about the vibe and feel, makes you inclined to deal
Driving to the club in the winter, despite the chill
Irrelevant is your intelligence
Just look at all the idiots excel at shit
You may be smart but what’s it matter if you get disheartened
You put an end to your beginning before it ever started
