[Hook] And they say John Givez dumb it down We don't know what you talking 'bout We just tryna die over different sins You got too much God in your sentences We don't want that peace We don't want that joy We don't want that love Tryna smoke a little reefer, got me a drink Fill up that cup Dumb it down, down, down, down, down, down, down(X3) You sound way too proud You should dumb it down [Verse 1] Oh yes, I'm blessed But to you it ain't cool I guess I just want a little thought in my sentences So I could say I did my part where we living in This world is girl full of diamonds The pearls but this life get the B-word right? Man I can't even see no light It's a sinner strip club with my C-note might To see those rights of a young lady My mind been up in the suns lately I ain't tryna point the finger But the television screen ? baby (Whatever did you mean JG? Is you saying that the television screen maybe? Could it mean ladies?) Hold up let me intervene, this might seem crazy But this seems crazy Cause everything we seeing what it seems lately Gotta read between the lines in the newspaper The economy's inflated and it's looking hella jaded ? When they say that it's a way to get some new paper Bruh I think you tripping and you got me really lost But tell me how much is the city gon' cost Nah I'm really living and I'm tryna get you found This is free amazing grace, how sweet that sound [Hook] [Verse 2] Everybody put your hands up, hands up high Just a little higher don't be scared Just try to put your hands up, hands up high Until you pull up on a cloud, acrobatics in the sky And if another mother (bleep) try to tell you dumb it down Do the Hesiman on 'em Let 'em know your mind is elevated and it's celebrated And no time for clones, when the grind is on And it's an everyday struggle, please believe me Uh, I never said it would be easy But we be the children of the most high God I said we be the children of the most high God And nobody tell me not to love my God Falling victim to the words stored in they iPod Following all trends sticking to what I got Players only live once sticking to the Izod POLO [Hook(X2)] [Outro] Dumb it down(X7) Prada, Gucci Y'all say Louis I'm balling so how that sound? (balling)(X2) Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream(X4) Phone operator: You have 15 unheard messages First unheard message John's Girl: Hey John, it's just that I just wanted to call you To see, uh (uh, man) How you were doing And also I wanted to talk about us (us?) I know you've been ignoring my phone calls and everything But, you've had me sitting here wondering what's up With ?, and I don't think it's fair You know, I've been giving you my all (it's not fair) I just feel like you haven't been giving me anything in return Um, if you could just give me a call (too much, way too much) I would really appreciate it Cause I'm tired of waiting here and looking dumb (Not calling her, I am not calling her) But, yea
