Dummies - Wale

We in a different time now, bro

Man, we all gotta do our part, man

One of the most valuable things you can offer is your words

We gotta feed the old, the young and everybody in between

(Woooooo!)

Uh, these niggas be hatin' on the low

I just play it cool and confident, they would never know

My intelligence is the weapon I use on 'em first

It take a smart man to the play the fool and the rules don’t reverse, mmh

Dummies could never play me (never)

One of the best of my generation but media hate me

Nigga we grew up on Weezy F. Baby, Lupe and Jay-Z

That mean I shoot you, say miss, excuse me

Get her in tune and off The Cool, kick push to your old lady, yeah (heheh)

Abi, don’t call 'em what they isn’t

They move the goal post for certain niggas, they not official

I know some snorters and sugar daddies that’s politicians

I know some corner boys that could die tryna pay tuition

Now is you mad 'cause my wallet, my woman, or complexion?

Life could be easy, but it’s never simple

And it take a real live real nigga to tell the difference

Uh, what do it take be a gangsta?

'Cause young boys on opioids never felt much, yeah

They chasin' money 'til they taste blood

Now ten year old Makyiah dead 'cause y’all ain’t think enough

Now the city is prayin', postin' her picture up

And every time I see 'em, I shed a tear and get really numb

'Cause y’all dare rumble, and y’all don’t wanna squash it

And now we here, it’s two parents buryin' their only daughter

Uh, how could you kill a child when

One of the codes of the streets was keepin' 'em from that violence?

It’s deeper than y’all beefin', them people be out for us

If we killin' our people then we become powerless

Uh, excuse me, I got too deep

I just signed a contract and now my conscience only think free

And you can save your props for somebody that care what you think

I been skatin' a while, why you try to Kerrigan?

Please

I’m 'bout to embarrass niggas, I feel that have carried me

This industry very cold but it look to you very sweet

Put niggas on big stages, put niggas in little beefs

You put too much faith in it, it puts you in therapy

These niggas be hatin' on the low

I just play it cool and confident, they would never know

My intelligence is the weapon I use on 'em first

It take a smart man to the play the fool and the rules don’t reverse, dummy

Wit’cho dumbass, boy

Wit’cho mother fuckin' dumbass

They can continue to undermine while we continue to be overpaid

Whether you like it or not, we will not stop

As the soul of our ancestors won’t allow us to inflict fear

But rather turn fear into fire

Olu is the three manifestations of a supreme God

Olu is King, you in the presence of Olu

Olu (Olu)
