It depends on how your general thought process works;you can't brilliant lyrics while most of the other times you are some slob of a guy.As in it's not just your music that sounds intelligent;you are intelligent,generally speaking.
Speaking of which,me I'm intelligent.:)
I remember myt uncle talking of how good my spoken English was when I was a little boy.And in most African countries,speaking English(or French,or whatever language was brought to you by your colonial master)carries some special meaning.It's associated with being bright and educated and what have you.And often,the association is true,coz if you're not educated,then you most likely don't speak English.
