Outsmarted Lyrics

I used to be the kid who always got caught.
I used to be the one who never let thought.
Interact one bit with.
Intellectual shit, diversity and wit.
You used to be the kid who waited in line.
For an opportunity to waste away time.
Trying to be so cool...but no suspicion no clue.
You've been.
Outsmarted - I'm sellin you for scrap x 4.
Now I'm the kid who put the shit back in place and I'm the one who threw it back in your face.
It took a little bit of intellectual shit, diversity and wit.
Now you're the kid who put the "L" back in lame and you're the one who always fitted the frame.
No suspicion no clue.
You've been.
Outsmarted - I'm sellin you for scrap x 4.
Your're outsmarted - Yeah! Thats what I said - Yeah! Yeah! - Yeah!
Only throwing back what you've been putting in my face.
Outsmarted x4.

i think this is a very great song, very great indeed. to me, he seems to be singing to someone who picked on him in, say, high school, someone who was popular in school thought they were on top of the world....

and now said oppressor is an insurance salesman and Pel is...

well, rich and famous.

basically, he's saying "HOW YOU LIKE THAT! HAHAHA!" he outsmarted him (by doing well in school, caring about his grades, ect.) and is no selling him for scrap!

I know people tend to project a bit of themselves into their interpretations but here's my take:

The person the song is talking about used to be someone who never thought very much but also didn't fit in very well. The other person in the song was always very obedient and never broke any rules.

Now the first person is successful and has learned from their mistakes. The second person, however, hasn't since they never bothered to try anything risky.
