If You’re Gonna Be Dumb

gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough Fucked up choices, every lesson rough I laugh it off when the road gets tough Hardheaded, damn right, but I never had enough I get scarred every time but I double up If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough [Verse 1] Crash test dummy, seatbelt off, shit I’m reckless Started on the block, getting roasted for my necklace Mind is a mess, but I flex through the wreckage I ain’t no saint, but my pride’s disrespectless Fast lane living, pedal pressed to the floorboard Mom said don’t be stupid—now I kick in the door more Every bad move, I’m the king of the warlords Scars on my knuckles, pain in my core, boy Head first in the flames, burn my skin off Every bad decision, yeah, I never shake the sin off Trouble magnet, got a target on my back, Laugh at the trap ‘cause the struggle make me snap Fuck it—every wound just a badge and a map I play with the fire, got burnt, came back My story’s all grit, hard luck, no bluff If you’re gonna be dumb, you really gotta be tough [Chorus] If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough Making bad calls just to test my luck I laugh it off when the ride gets rough Dumb as hell, but resilience enough Scars on scars but I rise above If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough [Verse 2] Punched dents in my brain from the shit I do Stubborn as a motherfucker, never played by rules They say, “Why’d you do that, you’re a god damn fool!” But wisdom ain’t free, pay the cost in full Lit the fuse, blew it up, just to see what’s next Heart too heavy but I laugh at the wreck Can’t fix dumb, but I’ll never be finessed Rollin' with the punches till there ain’t none left Black eye pride, one hell of a ride Bad ideas come alive in the dead of the night Still crack a grin when I should apologize Beer in my clutch, middle finger to the sky Truth be told, yeah, I’m rough around the edge But the dumbest ideas always make the best shit Every dumb move made me stronger than the rest Wear my fuckups like a badge on my chest [Chorus] If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough Throw a bad hand down, watch me turn it up Took every L, but still callin' your bluff I laugh at the pain 'cause my knuckles ain’t enough Dumb and stubborn, but ain’t ever had enough If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough [Outro] Got a head full of scars, got a fistful of pride Every dumbass moment shaped my grind Never been right, but I never been done Yeah, the lesson’s in the dirt and the trouble’s in the fun If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough, motherfucker That’s the story where I’m from
