Chorus:
Smart people
Smart people (like)
Smart people
Smart people (like)
Smart people (like) Dumb shit
people (like) Dumb shit
people (like) Dumb shit
Some times smar...

verse 1
Smart people like dumb shit
Swag rap outsells backpack you buy dumb shit
My gumptions function at my function
How many intellectuals coming? Or comment
on my YouTube clips? what are you too biz to
take a few to click, on my new track?
I'm tryna use that as leverage, in these meetings
they just wanna know am I selling it// They
could a damn I'm intelligent, or two hoots how
eloquent,
or a rat's ass I mastered the elements
You talking bout my old albums, truth is
I never sold albums, even that Inner City Soul
album// But thank God for the patrons,
otherwise I probably have died in that basement
Waiting, for a papal payment my band camp
statement telling me they play it, but ain't nobody paying
So maybe I should change it, I bet they call
me sell out, but maybe if I sell out,
my concerts'll sell out
Co's smart people like dumb shit they won't
admit it though,
They be on they way to work listening to them nigga
songs
Them nigga songs,nn n igga songs nn n igga songs
see? ya'll ones that put niggaz on
That's why I'm in a zone, I;m dissn' ya'll right not in
the song sayin'.

Chorus:
Smart people
Smart people (like)
Smart people
Smart people (like)
Smart people (like) Dumb shit
people (like) Dumb shit
people (like) Dumb shit
Some times smar...


Verse 2

Smart people like bullshit
On some real housewives of Atlanta tivo shit
If you would give Hip hop that type devotion
these corny ass rappers would barely be noticed
But they exploding,and you think I don't know
this? like I'm just rapping to myself why
upload it?
What would Tupac be without the thuggin?
Probably sellin' nothing, now everybody love em
Nicky sounding like the Dixie chicks she
sells a lot albums quickly, I'm like hmmm
should we? Co's that girl emcees her ass off
but would you take noticed without the wigs and
the ass (nah)
What would gaga be without the horror clothes?
Stephanie Germanatta with nada Nora Jones
Barefoot with her piano still poor at home
Now they illumintati? leave them girls alone
they know....


Chorus:
Smart people
Smart people (like)
Smart people
Smart people (like)
Smart people (like) Dumb shit
people (like) Dumb shit
people (like) Dumb shit
Some times smar...


Verse 3

Smart people like my rhymes, but you rarely see
Ohene in they timeline
Bet you hear em say Ohene if I got signed
To MMG quote and re tweet all of my hotlines
You talking bout Brian, for his punanny song
not for one of his 16 Grammy noms
not because dudes sick on the piano nah
It's co's you like dumb shit,
go head and sing along
Let me show you how your...please jerks what the hell?
we gotta do all kind of stuff just to sell
I ain't used to cuss but now I cuss and yell
Co's I am on the cusp of NOT bussin my tail
to put an album out co's I'll shelve myself
Man ya'll can't know my integrity, times I said no
to money and celebrity, just so I can
uphold truth, that's my legacy,
In house debates and things that you will never
see
that's why my status now is legendary
smart people like dumb shit just for a second
we

Chorus:
Smart people
Smart people (like)
Smart people
Smart people (like)
Smart people (like) Dumb shit
people (like) Dumb shit
people (like) Dumb shit
