Lyrics
I used to be the one that you’d try to ignore
I used to be the kid in the back
I used to be the one who wasn’t “teachable”
I used to be.
You used to be the one who knew the secrets,
You used to be the one who called the shots
You used to be the one who was responsible
You used to be responsible for me.
But I am I’m standing to deliver now
My grasp extends beyond the reach you set
You will listen as my voice breaks through
And I the “hopeless” student...
I will teach you.
Yeah, I will teach you.
I will teach you.
Yeah, I will teach you.
