[Intro]

Man

I used to let myself get so caught up with all the shit that was happening around me

So what y'all doing now?

Take this shit in waves

Take this shit in waves

Takes this shit in waves, but it's cool

Take this shit in waves

Take this shit in waves

Cause tomorrow gon' be another day

They've been asking

[Hook]

Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you They've been asking

Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you do it

[Verse 1]

I think that I'm obsessed, with doing this dumb shit

I guess it's a complex

I can't give up yet

Cursed with thoughts that

Are keeping me up stressed

At night, the darkness has got a clench on me tight

Now I'm sitting here up in another hole I dug

Feeling like Lebowski

And you stole my rug

And sometimes, I just wanna pull the plug

But instead I just get loaded like I'm full of slugs

I ain't even proud of all the shit I done

But I won't deny it, 'cause look at where I took it from

Show me someone who's never done any dumb shit

And I'll show you somebody who won't become shit

All that we do is chill, tryna keep cool

Doing dumb shit, but knowledge what it leads to

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, knowledge what it leads to

Teachin' you some lessons that nobody else could teach you

[Chorus]

Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you They've been asking

Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you do it

[Post-Chorus]

Watch, I'ma keep a straight face

Yeah

[Verse 2]

I can't help it's genetic

There I said it

I get it from my predecessors its heretid-ary

It's part of being creatures fully made of stardust

Doing dumb shit is just part of the learning process

I've done enough dumb shit to know the worlds secrets

I don't, but I got a headful of pearls I sleep with

Soon as I think I got it figured out

I see death peering round the corner tryna pull the sicle out

If stupid shit was my religion, then I been devout

Since a kid in the arcade pulling nickels out

Life's been throwing shit at me like donkey kong

Fuck the feds, I'm just tryna smoke like Tommy Chong

All that we do is chill, tryna keep cool

Doing dumb shit, but knowledge what it leads to

Yeah, yeah yeah, knowledge what it leads to

Teaching you some lessons that nobody else could teach you

They've been askin

[Chorus]

Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you They've been askin

Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you do it

[Pre-verse]

So what yall doing now?Take this shit in waves

Take this shit in waves

Take this shit in waves, but it's cool

Take this shit in waves

Take this shit in waves

Cause tomorrow gon' be another day(yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3]

Yeah, I fucked up lots, and paid my prices

I left [?] and made things right

I've done big things and made bad moves

I've made remarks I can't rewrite

I broke my bones and broke hearts, too

'Cause I've seen red and I've been blue, I

Take this shit in waves

Take this shit in waves

'Cause tomorrow gon' be another day

I've been at rock bottom where I've never thought I'd make it through

Also been up at the top, oh, I just felt unbreakable

I guess it's just a part of life, you learn from a mistake or two

And in the meantime you just tryna appreciate the view

They've been askin

[Chorus]

Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you They've been askin

Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you do it

[Outro]

Take this shit in waves

Take this shit in waves

Cause tomorrow gon' be another day

A man is not completely born untli he be dead, why then should we grief that a new child is born among the immortals
