The Down Low
Nellie McKay

I don't see nothing

It isn't bad to know your limitations
That we know can come to good
But if you had to know your situation
I see no reason you should
You don't have to know

If you're in the clear
It's on the down low
And don't you find it
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
And don't you mind it
Hold your head up high
That will see you through
Dry your little eyes
Don't mess up your life by seeking truth

It isn't hard to get an education
Know you want to come to good
But you can hardly bet on imitation
And I see no reason you should
You don't have to know

If you're in the clear
It's on the down low
And you won't find it
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
And don't you mind it
Walk right down the stairs
That will see you through
Drive the thoroughfare
Don't mess up your life by seeking truth

You, you should live in flowers where the sun does shine
Chingata chinga chinga chinga
Chingata chinga chinga chinga oh ho lay
I spend all my idle hours bidind time
I know it ends some day

It isn't bad to diss your situation
That we know can come to good
But you'd be mad to miss your coronation
And I see no reason you should
You don't have to know

If you're in the clear
It's on the down low
And don't you find it
Anything you hear
It's on the down low
And don't you mind it
Hold your head up high
That will see you through
Dry your little eyes
Don't mess up your life
You're overreaching
Trying to find to seek the truth...

I don't see nothing
