WYCLEF JEAN - Dumb It Down lyrics
rate meListen, kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Dumb it down, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, been to college
I ain’t stayed long, I went from the hood to college
Pursue my dream, started making beats
Ready or not, here I come, I’m with them refugees
Dumb it down, I’m in the club
Gold chain, gold ring, the girls them love that thug
We pop the molly ‘cause it’s how we do
Middle finger at them haters, who the fuck are you?
Get knowledge, Haitian born
I’m the American dream, underground like Harriet Tubman
When beef sparks my dogs bark
We play the front of the bus, Rosa Parks
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Dumb it down, dumb it down
Dumb it down, I got 50 bitches
I keep them hoes on the block, see them bitches kicking
And I don’t give a fuck what the bitches tell me
At the end of the night, better have my money
Kick knowledge, I’m like Malcolm X
By any means necessary, man, I keep it tech
Man, I ran for president, all in death bed
Got me paranoid, who they gonna shoot next?
Should I kick knowledge?
Dumb it down
Should I kick knowledge?
Dumb it down
Should I kick knowledge?
Dumb it down
Dumb it down, dumb it down
Dumb it down, man, I’m so icy, so flashy
Print my own money with my face on it
Abraham Lincoln, dumb it down
Sarah Palin, kick knowledge, I see you rap children
Before you buy the cars y’all need to buy the building
This time gonna come in, gonna make that cake
Kid, you gotta fall back on that real-estate
Dumb it down, see my gold fronts
I’m throwing bands, I sign my guns
She popping, popping, popping pussy
All the way back to the hotel
You know my slogan, everything for sale
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Dumb it down, dumb it down
Dumb it down, I’m selling coke
I’m selling smoke, I’m selling dope
On the block those fiends come by the dozen
You know we sell that yay from the night till the morning
Kick knowledge, Martin Luther King
He barely slept but he had a dream
I’m from Haiti so you know I rep Toussaint Louverture
First black republic, 1804
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Dumb it down, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Kick knowledge, dumb it down
Dumb it down, dumb it down
