Well, if you're smart read up
Yeah, if you're smart read all the Word of God
Well, if you're smart read up
Yeah, if you're smart read up -- you'll never stop
I've been learning lots
And God put wisdom down in all the spots
Well, if you're smart read up
Yeah, if you're smart read up and never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop

You'll make a grown man wise
You'll make a grown man wise
You'll make a grown man wise
Start at a point and just a-read
I walked through it and it made me believe

Smarten up
You got to start and leave it all to God, to God, to God
You ain't complete
If you got it but you never read
If you slough it off
If you laugh it off, you're not enough, smart enough, start it up, smarten up

Don't waste a moment's time
Don't waste a moment's time
Don't waste a moment's time

My grass grows gray
God's Word in Greek and Hebrew's
Made, made to stay, stay

Smarten up!
Ah, you got to, you got to get it read and never stop
Smarten up! Ooh!
Ah, baby, once you start it up
It gets better and better

You'll make a grown man wise
You'll make a grown man wise
You'll make a grown man wise

Dive right on in
That Bible speaks
It takes some patience but you'll get it if you seek

But the smart read up
Get intelligent and never stop, never stop, Genesis to Revelation
Smarten up
Never stop, never stop

Yo! Yo! You make a grown man wise
Yo! You make a dead man young
Yo! Yo! You make a deaf man dumb

2 Timothy 3:15
and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
