Dumb - Todrick Hall

I been writing songs since the first grade

Been running from the truth since my first fade

To get big cars, to make big stars

It takes big scars, better get a first aid

Dumb songs are the first played

No heart, but they’re charting on the first day

How you stay brave, when they throwin' you the worst shade?

Ones with the talent are the worst paid

Anyway, if I have blue button eyes and blonde hay

Would I make the magazine on the best page?

Be the leading man, if I was less gay?

If I was a woman would you try to give me less pay?

I could sing for you, but you prefer rap

Ask God why he made me out of burlap

Porcelain glass is a hall pass where I’m from

And…

I don’t know about you, but I think that’s dumb

I think that’s dumb

We the backbone of the green city

Never been a model but I’ve seen plenty

Young men and women, tryna fit in

Tryna get thin, but skinny don’t mean pretty

Rainbow, bright colors in the air though

Color on the air, but it’s rare though

The proof is right there though

It’s not fair though, but they swear

«No, what does he know?

He just a scarecrow!»

Tell me something

Why we countin' blessings if they don’t count?

Yeah, the show is sold out but they sold out

And I would rather walk in my shoes 'til the sole’s out

Yellow brick road, less traveled

That’s the old route

My money built the man a green glass palace

Tweedledum ain’t what they call it if you ask Alice

Why slum, under his green thumb

Waiting for crumbs

Cause…

I don’t know about you, but I think that’s dumb

I think that’s dumb

Don’t find me, I got my own lane formin'

Don’t mind me, I’m just brainstormin'

Do you suppose we could sell our shows

And our clothes, with no big booty crows in our videos

Will the man never stand for the people

Will we demand that our love should be legal

Will the land never treat the greens equal

Will the fight that they lost become the sequel

Cause I’ll march till it’s done, to the beat of my own drum

Cause there’s a fight to be won

Stand on this post 'til I’m numb, at least I’m standing for some

And that we can overcome

Cause…

I don’t know about you, but I think that’s dumb

I think that’s dumb
