fortune family - dumb it down lyrics
[intro: hop hobson & lupe fiasco]
yeah
they told me i should come down, cousin (yeah)
but i flatly refuse, i ain’t dumb down nothin’
uh
[verse 1: hop hobson]
now, every girl need a song to rip shots to
tell ’em throw the autotune on like it’s a costume
my reply: “nah, i’ll be okay
that sh+t’s been dead since hov made doa”
but don’t believe me? don’t put me on your cd
don’t make my life a movie and shoot the sequel in 3d
just tell me you got all the answers, couldn’t be more easy
you wanna make it big? then dumb it down like special ed, but
sadly for you, i flatly refuse
and wouldn’t change my mind for all the drugs your daddy abused
i got a couple things in life i’m always happy to do
the first is crackin’ a brew, the second is laughin’ at you, ha
your life’s monotony, you’ll never see anomalies
and novelties like sitcoms and bad romantic comedies
so honestly, how the f+ck you gon’ tell me how to write a song?
i’m just bein’ me, f+ck it if it’s right or wrong
i guess you cared enough to have advice to offer me
but i don’t care if you care or not, that’s the beauty of autonomy
i just hope you got a pair of socks, i’m ’bout to knock ’em off your feet
i’m somethin’ like a paradox ’cause what i spit’s beyond belief
[chorus: hop hobson, hop hobson & lupe fiasco together, & lupe fiasco]
they told me
they told me
yeah
they told me i should come down, cousin (nah)
i said
they told me i should come down, cousin
but you say you keep it real, your music somehow doesn’t
and i said, yeah
come down cousin
they told me i should come down, cousin
they told me i should come down, cousin
but i, but i, uh
they told me i should come down, cousin
build it up, one more time
they told me i should come down, cousin
but i flatly refuse, i ain’t dumb down nothin’
[verse 2: reef of fortune family]
they say, “dumb it down, what’s the problem with ya?”
or is it time we talk about contemporary issues?
while you sittin’ on your ass, livin’ in the cube
i’m doin’ my best to get that whole+world view
if you can’t vibe with this, motherf+cker, press next
way over your head, lookin’ all perplexed
h+llo, webster, what’s up, merriam?
i got my city on my back, so yes, i’ll carry them
all the way to the third+world, chillin’ in them streets
or maybe in bermuda while i’m chillin’ on the beach
philosophizin’, what’s good, friedrich nietzsche?
waitin’ on the waitress to bring out the ceviche
turn off the celly, good luck tryna reach me
life is a guide and it’s always tryna teach me
finally globe+trottin’, nonstop flights
[?], i’m in venice for the night
paris in the morning, bonjour [?]
i’ll never dumb it down, that’ll never be the plan, motherf+cker
do you understand?
i’ll never dumb it down, that’ll never be the plan, like
[outro]
like, what? hahahaha
