Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Okay) oh yeah
Yo, what's up, what's going on
Cut to the point, guess what
People in our path is talking about
He going down to the the pool har with his friends
That's the third time in a week
But I don't know, I didn't see (okay)
Strange numbers on the caller ID
I ain't trippin, let it go
Say nothing, do your thang
Not a problem, but what I don't know
Is the eye of the game
Oooh, he ain't fooling me, no, no
There ain't a lie that he done told
That I ain't told once before
Chorus:
You may think it's slick, but I'm not
He ain't gettin over
'cause I know what's up (ooh, oh, oh)
He must think I'm stupid but I'm not
He ain't telling me
Nothing I believe (he ain't tellin me)
Don't you think it's slick, but I'm not
He ain't gettin over (he ain't gettin over)
'cause I know what's up (cos I know what's up)
He may think I'm stupid but I'm not
He ain't telling me (he ain't tellin me)
Nothing I believe (nothing I believe)
On the ? something else, he don't know
I came up, on the call
To his voice mail, the other day
Called it up and it say (Meet me)
At the same spot, on the same floor
In the same room, 'round the same time
With the same cologne, with the same wine
That was sipped on last night.
What the hell does he think he's doing?
Funny thing is, I should be mad, but I'm not
Can't recognize game, so I'm moving on
He found a new love, so he can find a new spot
To lay his head down
*sound of keys*
{Male voice} Hey Toni, open the door!
Creep? Wha? No, I'm not a creep, I was down the pool har, now see'mon now, girl, open up the door!
[Chorus:]
You may think it's slick, but I'm not (ooh, no)
He ain't gettin over
'cause I know what's up (i know what's up, no, no)
He must think I'm stupid but I'm not
He ain't telling me (really think I'm stupid?)
Nothing I believe (no-no-no-nothing)
Don't you think it's slick, but I'm not
He ain't gettin over(he ain't - gettin over, no)
'cause I know what's up
He may think I'm stupid but I'm not (yeah, yeah)
He ain't telling me
Nothing I believe (nothing I believe, no)
No, no, no, no
It's time for me to leave you, nooo (I know)
I put your things outside, better call you a ride
'cause this so long
Hey fellas, if you lyin, to your girl
9 times, out of 10, she knows exactly, what the deal is
So think twice, before you lie (okay)
Get by, not bye, when you're stupid
You ain't slick, and we're through with this, through with this
[Chorus:]
You may think it's slick, but I'm not (yeeaahh)
He ain't gettin over (he think)
'cause I know what's up (I know what's up, oh)
He must think I'm stupid but I'm not

Nothing I believe (he ain't tellin me, no, no, no, no)
Don't you think it's slick, but I'm not
He ain't gettin over (he think he slick, but he ain't)
'cause I know what's up
He may think I'm stupid but I'm not
He ain't telling me (no, no, no, no)
Nothing I believe (he ain't foolin, no, no)
*repeats til fade*
The song "Stupid" by Toni Estes is a song about a woman who is aware of her partner's infidelity but chooses not to confront him about it. The song starts with someone informing her about her partner's frequent visits to a bar and mysterious phone calls. Although she is aware of his behavior, she decides to not confront him about it and instead moves on from the relationship.
The chorus of the song is particularly interesting as it shows how the woman believes that her partner is underestimating her by thinking that she won't be able to detect his infidelity. The use of the word "slick" highlights how the partner may believe that he is getting away with his behavior, but the woman is not fooled as she knows what's going on. This highlights the idea of how people can be blinded by love and fail to see the truth of their partner's actions.
Overall, the song depicts a woman who recognizes her worth and refuses to be treated poorly by her partner. The tone of the song is confident and empowering, which encourages listeners to value themselves and not tolerate any form of disloyalty or deceit from their partners.
