Saigon - Let's Get Smart lyrics

[Intro: Saigon] The Works of Mart, yeah {"Plus I'm very smart"} It's different, just different, yeah! {"Pl-pl-pl-pl-plus I'm very smart"} Yes Yes this is Saigon, guess he's smart They done dumbed it down now, let's get smart They done dumbed it down now, let's get smart Let's get smart {"Pl-plus I'm very smart"} [Saigon] Nah Preem, I ain't come around to dumb it down I done started a revolution, I ain't runnin now Cause I don't rap about havin fun, I'm underground Cause the industry couldn't get me to become a clown Mel said don't push him cause he close to the edge The ones that fell, sh**, most of 'em dead It's ironic, if I had some bread they put the toast to your head You just wanted to go to bed, you on a wanted poster instead Tryin to be somethin you're not, got you frontin a lot Stop usin hip-hop to corrupt the block This n***a preachin his life that he doesn't live That ain't the fact of the matter, look at what it does to the kids Make 'em wanna grow up to be drug dealers Leadin 'em down a dead end, you's a f** n***a If I could bring 'Pac back to send y'all to wherever he's at Guess what Black people? We baaack~! [Chorus: Saigon] Yes this is Saigon, this is Mart (the Works of Mart) They done dumbed it down now, let's get smart They done dumbed it down now, let's get smart Let's get smart, let's get smart It's bigger than business, this is art We done dumbed it down now, let's get smart We done dumbed it down now, let's get smart Let's get smart {"Plus I'm very smart"} [Saigon] Whoever own WorldStar is a muh'f**in genius cause he ain't payin for that content n***az grab cameras and record all this nonsense (WorldStar!) Send it in to them and they get rich from advertise from the sponsors All you get is a f**ed up conscience for bein a part of depictin your people as some kind of monsters I'm from the tutelage of them Clark Kents Bigots that's limitin hip-hop since it was still on the park bench It's why my bars strong as cigar stench Deadly like Agent Orange, or +A's+ in arsenic Can't defend myself cause I'm always on offense The two don't give you a clue, the nine'll give y'all hints It's Saigon and Premier up in here (yea-yeah!) And we givin 'em think rap this year (yea-yeah!) Sellin it to 'em shrink wrapped, this here? Hottest sh** in the street, this is heat right here (yea-yeah!) [Chorus] [Saigon] Uhh, check Preem, they try to turn our artform to popcorn Long as we still rockin that is not for long I dwell here 12 years, that's cause I belong You drop a couple hot songs and your rocks is gone Not many n***az could call theyself what I did Not many brothers done suffered as much as I did You see my pain whenever I lift my eyelid That's why I'm not in a category as Talib I'll give you "The Greatest Story" cause that's what I lived When I say it's +Pain in My Life+ that's what I had Alright, so what I got money now, why should I brag? In the hood they still can't afford iPads Who you know just go and switch flows like this? This should show I got lyrics to go, you know? It's one thing when you're just havin fun with it Y'all n***az takin that dumb sh** and runnin with it [Chorus] [Outro: DJ Premier scratching] "Pl-, pl-pl-plus I'm very smart" "Plus I'm v-v-very smart" "Plus I'm, plus I'm, plus I'm very smart" "Pl-pl-plus I'm v-v-very smart"
