[Intro]

(Damn, did Otis make this beat?)

[Verse 1]

Vitamin C

You go vex, you'll get sick of me

Keep the pride, keep the jealousy

See the friends turn to enemies

I'm just trying to keep the peace

Protein ashin on my jeans

Wanna stay but you gotta leave

I don't need your apology

[Chorus]

Dumb it down

I guess you need me to dumb it down

I guess you not the smartest around

Had to get this shit right from the ground

Dumb it down

I guess you need me to dumb it down

I guess you not the smartest around

Had to get this shit right from the ground

[Verse 2]

Had to do this shit myself

I ain't see nobody when I needed help

Tried to give you all the keys but you wouldn't take 'em

All I know is you can't make it if you keep complaining

All I know is getting money, I'm a different man

So dramatic, cash'll bring you to your senses

I could never let the money make me senseless

You a loser, you a dork, I must confess

[Chorus]

Dumb it down

I guess you need me to dumb it down

I guess you not the smartest around

Had to get this shit right from the ground

Dumb it down

I guess you need me to dumb it down

I guess you not the smartest around

Had to get this shit right from the ground

Had to get this shit right from the ground

Dumb it down

I guess you need me to dumb it down

I guess you not the smartest around

Had to get this shit right from the ground

[Outro]

From the ground

Fr-fr-from the ground

From the- fr-fr-from the ground

Had to get this shit right from the ground

(They're coming, to see The Temptations-)

(Ain't nobody comin' to see you Otis!)
