Dumb It Down
Lupe Fiasco

(feat. Gemstones, Graham Burris)


[Verse 1:]

I'm fearless

Now hear this

I'm earless

And I'm peerless

That means I'm eyeless

Which means I'm tearless

Which means my iris resides where my ears is

Which means I'm blinded

But I'mma find it I can feel it's nearness

But I'mma veer so I don't come near

Like a chicken or a deer

But I remember I'm not a listener or a seer so my windshield smear

Here, you steer, I really shouldn't be behind this, clearly cause my blindness

The windshield is minstrel, the whole grill is roadkill, so trill and so sincere. Yeah, I'm

Both them there

Took both pills, when a bloke in a trench coat and the locs in the chair had approached him

Here

And he clear as a ghost, so a biter of the throats in the mirror

The writer of the quotes for the ghosts who supplier of the notes to the living

Riveting is rosy, pockets full of posies, given to the mother of the deceased. Awaken at war,

'til I'm restin' in peace


[Chorus 1:]

You goin' over niggas' heads Lu (Dumb it down)

They tellin' me that they don't feel you (Dumb it down)

We ain't graduate from school nigga (Dumb it down)

Them big words ain't cool nigga (Dumb it down)

Yeah I heard Mean And Vicious nigga (Dumb it down)

Make a song for the bitches nigga (Dumb it down)

We don't care about the weather nigga (Dumb it down)

You'll sell more records if you (Dumb it down)


[Verse 2:]

And I'm mouthless

Which means I'm soundless

Now as far as the hearing, I've found it

It was as far as the distance from the earring to the ground is

But the doorknockers on the ear of a stewardess in a Lear

She fine and she flyin, I feel I'm flying by'em 'cause my mind's on cloud nine and I'm a mime

At the same time

Pimps see the wings on the underground king

Who's also Klingon

To infinity and beyond

Something really stinks, but I Sphinx like Leon

Or lying in the desert

I'm flying on pegasus you're flying on the pheasant

Rider of the white powder, picker of the fire flowers, spit hot fire like Dylon on Chappelle's

Skit

Yeah, smell it on my unicorn, snort the white horse, but toot my own horn (sleep)


[Chorus 2:]

You've been shedding too much light Lu (Dumb it down)

You make'em wanna do right Lu (Dumb it down)

They're getting self-esteem Lu (Dumb it down)

These girls are trying to be queens Lu (Dumb it down)

They're trying to graduate from school Lu (Dumb it down)

They're starting to think that smart is cool Lu (Dumb it down)

They're trying to get up out the hood Lu (Dumb it down)

I'll tell you what you should do (Dumb it down)


[Verse 3:]

And I'm brainless

Which means I'm headless

Like Ichabod Crane is

Or foreplay-less s** is

Which makes me stainless

With no neck left to hang the chain with

Which makes me necklace-less

Like a necklace theft

And I ain't used my headrest yet

They said they need proof like a vestless chest 'bout the best, fair F-F-jet in the nest

Who exudes confidence and excess depth

Even Scuba Steve would find it hard to breathe

Around these leagues

My snorkle is a tuba, Lu the ruler around these seas

Westside Poseidon, Westside beside'em, chest high and rising

Almost touching the knees of stewardess and the pilot

Lucky they make it flowered

Personal floating devices, tricks falling out of my sleeves

David Blaine

Make it rain

Make a boat

I make a plane

Then, I pull the plug and I make it drain

Until I feel like flowing and filling it up again..(Westside)


[Chorus 3:]

You putting me to sleep nigga (Dumb it down)

That's why you ain't popping in the streets nigga (Dumb it down)

You ain't winning no awards nigga (Dumb it down)

Robots and skateboards nigga? (Dumb it down)

Gq Man Of The Year G? (Dumb it down)

Shit ain't rocking over here B (Dumb it down)

Won't you talk about your cars nigga? (Dumb it down)

What the fuck is goyard nigga (Dumb it down)

Make it rain for the chicks (Dumb it down)

Pour champagne on a bitch (Dumb it down)

What the fuck is wrong with you? (Dumb it down)

How can I get on a song with you? (Dumb it down)


[Gemini: talking]

Look B, here's my man, my two way, (hey) uh, what should I - ah here take this (hey) that

Right there, fucking my voice all the time nigga, (hey) nigga you hot to me, I like you (Dumb

It down)


[Lupe:]

Bishop G, they told me I should come down cousin, but I flatly refuse I ain't dumb down nothing
