Now listen up guys, here's a word to the wise
If someone's stung when you wag your tongue, you better get back down to size
Now all you chicks, according to these two hicks
If what you gab ain't to fab, we might just have the fix
There's a saying that says you got nothing to say, if you can't say nothing real nice
So if your words or for the birds, you better head with the speed on this advice
So the crux of the matter lies, right here and I'll summarize
If all you do is criticize, Shut Up
That's a word to the wise

There's no need to rack your brain, I've already figured it out
I've done the math, cleared the path, And I know what I'm talking about
So allow me to break it down, so you can wrap your head around
If you're into elocution, just consider this solution
If someone asks you what you think, Don't act like the missing link
If you can't seem to zip your lip, just remember this timely tip
Wiser words were never said, So keep these good thoughts in your head
That's a word to the wise, Word to the wise
