Dumb It Down Verse 1

I'm fearless (He’s brave enough to battle his critics)

Now hear this (Addressing all critics)

I'm earless (I don’t hear all of your criticisms and I don’t listen to people who tell me to dumb it down)

And I'm peerless (I’m one of a kind. There are no others like me so stop telling me to conform.)

That means I'm eyeless (The word peerless has no ‘i’s. )

Which means I'm tearless (He doesn’t care what you say, it’s not going to affect him. If he has no eyes, he can’t cry)

Which means my iris resides where my ears is (He observes rappers and the industry closely and watches their movements. The iris is the part of your eye surrounding the pupil. Iris is also a kind of plant, the people commonly put behind their ear. He learns by listening.)

Which means I'm blinded (He has no eyes so he’s blind. There has been no good music lately, so his senses must be failing)

But I'mma find it I can feel it's nearness (There are some good rappers out there, that are close to making it big, and he’s going to find them.)

But I'mma veer so I don't come near (He’s going to get out of the way of the music industry and do his own thing. He’s not going to conform so he’s going to stay in his own lane)

Like a chicken or a deer (He’s not going to be run over by the music industry. He’s no one-hit wonder. Deer’s freeze in the headlights, but he’s not going to let celebrity stop him from doing what he wants to)

But I remember I'm not a listener or a seer so my windshield smear (He doesn’t listen to mainstream rap. He is not paying attention to commercial rap and copying their formula.)

Here, you steer, I really shouldn't be behind this, clearly cause my blindness (Fans obviously know what is good music, and he doesn’t, so he shouldn’t be in the driver’s seat.)

The windshield is minstrel, the whole grill is roadkill, so trill and so sincere. Yeah, I'm both them there (A Minstrel show is when actors used to dress up in blackface and perpetuate black stereotypes by depicting blacks as lazy, ignorant, happy-go-lucky, stupid, and musical. Jazz musician Wynton Maralis has even called Hip-Hop a modern day minstrel show. White actors would cover their skin in black shoe polish, the windshield is covered in black so he can’t see. White executives are controlling black rappers and perpetuating the stereotypes of grills and the trill life. Talking about Grills has been done so much that it is becoming overkill, or roadkill. He describes the rap game as a car, and he shouldn’t be steering the car because he is not like it’s components.)

Took both pills, when a bloke in a trench coat and the locs in the chair had approached him here (This is about the Matrix when Morpheus came in wearing a black trench coat and gave Neo a choice between the red and blue pill. People in the matrix are deemed blind, but he is out of the matrix.)

And he clear as a ghost, so a biter of the throats in the mirror (Ghosts are invisible and Vampires can’t see their reflections in the mirror)

The writer of the quotes for the ghosts who supplier of the notes to the living (He is a ghostwriter’s ghostwriter. He writes the lyrics for ghostwriters who supply the lyrics to the mainstream rappers.)

Riveting is rosy, pockets full of posies, given to the mother of the deceased. Awaken at war, 'til I'm restin' in peace (Rosie the riveter is a figure during World War II. These women only worked during war time, or awaken then. Meanwhile, their sons were dying at war. “Ring around the rosie, pockets full of posies” comes from the black plague when people were dying in the streets, so people would carry floweres in their pockets.)
