I am a nerd
This label seems to show who I am,
yet why it's a bad thing I won't understand
Just because I like to work hard in school,
doesn't mean I can't be cool
I strive for the best,
because I am blessed
With this knowledge,this mind,
and to study and have fun, I always find time
So to speak, don't mean to be a preacher,
don't call me names because I like a class and it's teacher
Don't be mad 'cause I don't need a tutor,
and don't be rude because I want a bright future
