[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
