about

The devaluing of experts, science and intelligence.

lyrics

VERSE ONE:
Word to the cerebrum. See son, to succeed some,
you need not concede some stiffly-bunk belief
bums bump how you don't need one. Each one could teach one,
instead'a trying to hide it and find it cool just to seem dumb.
Let's reach one's potential - just sharpen up mental
acuity. Maturity handling Truth's essential.
Security in “certainty” has currency. Rental
of facts is the stencil that wack people flex so they act
like execs. But I can't stress enough y'all
that your shit's just a bluff, saying stuff - you know fuck all.
While real peeps who know, know status quo gets broke.
With every new theory proven, old laws get revoked.
So, clearly, you keep improving to learn flex and growth.
Hard to thrive when surviving with all you knew at twelve years old.
But talking shit's a sport for folks obsessed with roles
and titles. Knowing things is not “elite”, just vital!

CHORUS:
Constantly amazed at the great intelligence
some display - claim using a brain's maleficent,
when it's them running evil, dumbing people down lots.
Could be facts over thoughts, instead a' letting minds rot.
Yo, I’m constantly amazed at the great intelligence
some display - claim using a brain's maleficent.
Only evil I'm guilty of is impatience for those schmucks.
A tally of dumb fucks that amounts to “donuts.”

VERSE TWO:
Word to the prefrontal cortex. Ignore threats
to cultivating knowledge, you might get treated like door steps -
I mean "door stops." My core thoughts: I'm more vexed
with people rejecting intelligence, than lacking more. Bet
they get it in their head that's just about showing off
and you knowing more than they know is so wrong.
Any expert is flawed - why take that word as a law?
So they're always right. Know what it's like to be winning but lost.
What an embarrassing cost for the sake of an ego stroke.
They're free but no chance to rise. Society thrive? I feel no hope
when they favour knowing nothing over growing. Dumb in
the privacy of their own home is their own biz, but voting fucks in
who don't know shit, is a diss to our existence.
Smart enough to wreck the world, but dumb enough to not fix it.
I'd rather listen to someone who learned shit for years,
than some rando with opinion based on irrational fear.
(to be clear!)
