What Being Smart Is: A Parody of What A Girl Is by Dove Cameron, Christina Grimmie, and Baby Kaely

This parody is dedicated to anyone fed up with numbers, standards, and tests.

I don't need a perfect ten
To be perfect as I am,
So fie on your numbers!
Just look past the numbers.

And these pointless Scantron tests,
Fail to reflect my very best.
And why does it matter?
Graphs alone have no power.

So over all the assessments around,
I am fed up with numerical shrouds.

Don't you know what being smart is?
Despite results, you're worth it.
Who cares about a test score?
They can't determine how you perform.

I'll step up now
And shout it loud.
I'll show what being smart is

These tests just skim the surface
To show what being smart is

This is just a skin.
Numbers just mean certain things.
I'm done wasting my time.
There's much more to my mind.

So over all the assessments around,
I am fed up with numerical shrouds.

Don't you know what being smart is?
Despite results, you're worth it.
Who cares about a test score?
They can't determine how you perform.

I'll step up now
And shout it loud.
I'll show what being smart is

These tests just skim the surface
To show what being smart is.

You are more than what the numbers say,
I swear.
Go beat the odds and just put yourself
Out there.

It's pretty clear that there's more to us than grid lines.
Improvement's taking over, standing like a high rise.
And if you ever doubt the things that I can do,
Sit back and we will show ya.
It'd be really nice to know ya.
No doubt we're a force undeniable
Get together and your ideas will fall down on ya.
I got a feeling that we're there for ya,
Sit back and let us show ya.
'Cause improvement's taking over.

I don't need a perfect ten
To be perfect as I am,
So fie on your numbers!
Just look past the numbers.
Don't you know what being smart is?
Despite results, you're worth it.

They can't determine how you perform.

I'll step up now
And shout it loud.
I'll show what being smart is

These tests just skim the surface
To show what being smart is.
