       Am 
If you got a weak brain and a narrow mind

The world gonna leave you way behind

Your friends will deceive you, leave you cryin' 
Dm               E                         Am  G E G Am G Am 
Can't keep yours   'cause you are watchin' mine

You won't have no trouble or worries at all 
If you got a strong brain and your mind is broad
