OYU
[Intro]
Man
I used to let myself get so caught up with all the shit that was happening around me
So what y'all doing now?
Take this shit in waves
Take this shit in waves
Takes this shit in waves, but it's cool
Take this shit in waves
Take this shit in waves
Cause tomorrow gon' be another day
They've been asking
[Hook]
Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you They've been asking
Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you do it
[Verse 1]
I think that I'm obsessed, with doing this dumb shit
I guess it's a complex
I can't give up yet
Cursed with thoughts that
Are keeping me up stressed
At night, the darkness has got a clench on me tight
Now I'm sitting here up in another hole I dug
Feeling like Lebowski
And you stole my rug
And sometimes, I just wanna pull the plug
But instead I just get loaded like I'm full of slugs
I ain't even proud of all the shit I done
But I won't deny it, 'cause look at where I took it from
Show me someone who's never done any dumb shit
And I'll show you somebody who won't become shit
All that we do is chill, tryna keep cool
Doing dumb shit, but knowledge what it leads to
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, knowledge what it leads to
Teachin' you some lessons that nobody else could teach you
[Chorus]
Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you They've been asking
Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you do it
[Post-Chorus]
Watch, I'ma keep a straight face
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I can't help it's genetic
There I said it
I get it from my predecessors its heretid-ary
It's part of being creatures fully made of stardust
Doing dumb shit is just part of the learning process
I've done enough dumb shit to know the worlds secrets
I don't, but I got a headful of pearls I sleep with
Soon as I think I got it figured out
I see death peering round the corner tryna pull the sicle out
If stupid shit was my religion, then I been devout
Since a kid in the arcade pulling nickels out
Life's been throwing shit at me like donkey kong
Fuck the feds, I'm just tryna smoke like Tommy Chong
All that we do is chill, tryna keep cool
Doing dumb shit, but knowledge what it leads to
Yeah, yeah yeah, knowledge what it leads to
Teaching you some lessons that nobody else could teach you
They've been askin
[Chorus]
Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you They've been askin
Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you do it
[Pre-verse]
So what yall doing now?Take this shit in waves
Take this shit in waves
Take this shit in waves, but it's cool
Take this shit in waves
Take this shit in waves
Cause tomorrow gon' be another day(yeah, yeah)
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I fucked up lots, and paid my prices
I left [?] and made things right
I've done big things and made bad moves
I've made remarks I can't rewrite
I broke my bones and broke hearts, too
'Cause I've seen red and I've been blue, I
Take this shit in waves
Take this shit in waves
'Cause tomorrow gon' be another day
I've been at rock bottom where I've never thought I'd make it through
Also been up at the top, oh, I just felt unbreakable
I guess it's just a part of life, you learn from a mistake or two
And in the meantime you just tryna appreciate the view
They've been askin
[Chorus]
Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you They've been askin
Oh why you always doing dumb shit (I dunno'), oh why you, oh why you do it
[Outro]
Take this shit in waves
Take this shit in waves
Cause tomorrow gon' be another day
A man is not completely born untli he be dead, why then should we grief that a new child is born among the immortals
