Dumb It Down
You want me to dumb it down and write something simple
If I did that, I'd expect Shakespeare to come back from the dead and stab me with a pencil
This world is too sensitive you need to harden up
I won't dumb it down, You should Smarten up
If it ain't about Girls, partying or having fun they won't want to hear it
If it's an opinion based on real life stuff then don't you dare share it
This generation don't really care about what's going on around them
But I speak on the issues they need to hear, hoping they listen so they don't drown them
I'm a genius, because i realized there's a Genie in us so I don't wish no more
I do it myself like the brand with the tick
I could get drunk every week and stand next to chicks
But that chick and alcohol won't save you if we go to war
Blood on pavements,tears shed, flowers left as a memorial
People passing by daily, do you think the price is affordable?
Could you live with yourself knowing you left a kid fatherless?
Put the gun and knives down, Don't over react over a stupid argument
The government are the real criminals, but because I wear a hoody
They'll make you think its me, so you wrongly judge me
I'm always going to be who I am, they won't change me
I warned you about them, so when they do you wrong, don't blame me
You want me to talk about girls and say she's got a Sexy body and there's nothing more to it
Nickname her Nike because I want to just do it
If I wrote something that simple
I hope every poet would torture me and stab me with pencils
You want me to dumb it down and write something simple
If I did that, I'd expect Shakespeare to come back from the dead and stab me with a pencil
This world is too sensitive you need to harden up
I won't dumb it down, You should Smarten up
