lirik lagu t. karras - dumb it down
[intro]
one for the money
two for the show
three to get ready
and here we go
[verse 1]
now the sounds you hear, come straight from me
geek kid lookin’ street, that’s who i be
i’m conscious with a formed identity
always payin’ a price that ain’t always cheap
since my teens, i wanted to be a rapper (be a rapper)
i ~n~lyzed the game, a lot of y’all are actors
i guess i gotta dumb it down for fake sh~t sells
it’s painful for me cause i’m real as h~ll
kids wanna be down with that gang stuff (with that gang stuff)
look tough and buff, i’m like what the f~ck?
they think murder and abuse is cool (it ain’t)
they laugh at the notion of stayin’ in school (stay in school)
major labels wanna perpetuate the notion of gangs
think wearing bling is cool, well it affects your brain
k!lling one another, that’s what the f~ck they want
a&r wanna stunt with the bucks, i’m like f~ck you
[chorus]
i gotta dumb it down, to be hot on them streets
i gotta dumb it down, for them kids on them beats
i gotta dumb it down, to get played on the air
i gotta dumb it down, i gotta dumb it down
i gotta dumb it down, to get that message across
i gotta dumb it down in order to smarten up
i gotta dumb it down, cause that’s what they want
i gotta dumb it down, i gotta dumb it down
[verse 2]
i gotta be a jerk to be cool
gotta look like a fool, gotta jump in the pool
i gotta be ignorant as h~ll
gotta be so stupid to the point where i sell out
and forget who i am
it’s just a part of the plan, n0body gives a d~mn
it’s just cool to not give a f~ck
ignorant nonsense brings in the big bucks
i think all the time, how can i be blind?
i need an answer, how can i turn off my mind?
that’s what most people do and it turns out poor
they don’t care, they all love being wh0res
i ain’t livin’ that lie, it feels oh so dirty
pushing thirty and i’m nerdy, it’s absurd for me
to represent the grind when i ain’t even lived that
street life, i am who i am and that’s a fact
[chorus]
i gotta dumb it down, to be hot on them streets
i gotta dumb it down, for them kids on them beats
i gotta dumb it down, to get played on the air
i gotta dumb it down, i gotta dumb it down
i gotta dumb it down, to get that message across
i gotta dumb it down in order to smarten up
i gotta dumb it down, cause that’s what they want
i gotta dumb it down, i gotta dumb it down
i gotta dumb it down, to be hot on them streets
i gotta dumb it down, for them kids on them beats
i gotta dumb it down, to get played on the air
i gotta dumb it down, i gotta dumb it down
i gotta dumb it down, to get that message across
i gotta dumb it down in order to smarten up
i gotta dumb it down, cause that’s what they want
i gotta dumb it down, i gotta dumb it down
i gotta dumb it down, to be hot on them streets
i gotta dumb it down, for them kids on them beats
i gotta dumb it down, to get played on the air
i gotta dumb it down, i gotta dumb it down
i gotta dumb it down, to get that message across
i gotta dumb it down in order to smarten up
i gotta dumb it down, cause that’s what they want
i gotta dumb it down, i gotta dumb it down
