You try to get success directly But there is one to destroy us Sometimes the way is out of ? Perhaps you may get ignorant
[Verse 1]
Do I gotta get ignorant show my pigment on the job? Slap the darkest part of my hand across jaws These days and times when jobs hard to find You gotta work a salt mine or work an assault 9 Most folks barely staying afloat through proper channels And thank the rich sheik with black camels and slaughter mammals They run the globe with mind control in designer sandals But life’s a skinny bitch, it’s a struggle to get a handle I’m about to just break bad like Malcolm’s dad Be meth-Boyardee with a lab and a yellow cab So I could get the white picket fence and yellow lab That American dream makes me wake up and scream It consists of old money buying shiny new things That I’m about to break cause I’m creating a scene You can use as an anthem for Kanye’s tantrums Cause I’m about a thumb and a finger away from snapping, damn
[Chorus]
Get ignorant Get ignorant Sometimes the way is out of ? Perhaps you may get ignorant
[Verse 2]
I’m early every day, never took a vacation Mandatory overtime I always stayed patient Through all the petty dramas I’m calmer than a sloth But the shit don’t change like if Obama would’ve lost I work my ass off about 2011 years And I’m usually far from anything that Heaven fears But I’m feeling off-kilter, I ain’t about to kill ya But I am about to loosen up this filter, here’s you Jerking off to Halle Berry on the shitter Then firing a nigga cause he’s checking on his twitter You mad cause ain’t nobody tagging you in all the pictures Well here’s a good one of you tagging your wife’s sister Like that, I’ve been knowing ways to fight back Vimeo of you saying that you don’t like blacks Clearly though, full HD and in stereo The network’s got holes my dude, cheerio
[Chorus]
Get ignorant Get ignorant Sometimes the way is out of ? Perhaps you may get ignorant
[Verse 3]
Look, success is just a target, it could push us to the edge Put in our heads at an early age like the pledge Give our allegiance while you edited your souls Won’t tell you till you’re gone that all that glitters ain’t gold We love to watch em race, love to watch em chase dreams So dirty there ain’t a cycle that you can make clean Got the athletes juicing, singers getting naked The rappers spending all their money before they even make it Actors scared to age shooting acid in their faces Slaves to the ratings, every show is more tasteless Faithless as angels cutting wings from their scapula To trade it all in and be Dracula?
[Verse 4]
Genocide in East Africa but you watching Battlestar Galactica Filling up the data in the back of your digital camera Taking glamorous shots of your mammaries surrounded by Vanity Fair magazine Stuffed animals in the house your parents paid for Built by hand on land people slaved for Get ignorant, stay ignorant in fact Get belligerent if you feel my sentiment attack Keep kicking it, screaming for your sense of entitlement Flip me off with the same hand you hold the Bible with All that Botox, every cream, every vitamin Can’t cover up the ignorance that’s inside of you I wouldn’t lie to you, it can’t cover up the ignorance that’s inside of you
