ignorance

intro:

every day, i open my phone, and i look at the news,

and all their is is death and dying and destruction

all caused by ignorance.

and inability to see through the blindfold wrapped around our own eyes.

 

chorus

 

you ever heard about the deaths in africa

or maybe the lives taken in panama

people dying everday because of our fucking ignorance

or maybe just because the color of their pigment is

differnent from theirs and so they wanna diss

like i just wanna settle down and give my momma a kiss

you motherfuckers acting like a bunc of illiterates

killing people everyday just with ur fucking ignorance

 

verse 1

 

my mothers mama was holocaust survivor

she probably would be dead if they didnt break the cypher

atttacks happen everyday just cause of race

like why cant we all just get outta our face

i understand its harder to understand these days

but i wish tay k didnt have to do the race

weve got people in politics who are tryna erase

the history of the people that were in the mass graves

i see history tryna repeat itself

because of people only looking out for themselves

if this contuines we mine as well say farewell

cause right now shits as fragile as an eggshell

is see the klansmen

dressed in white

people that we cant find the strength to indite

i know im not black but i still have sympathy

freedom for all, i take that literally

 

chorus

 

you ever heard about the shit thats going thats going down in africa

or maybe the lives taken in panama

people dying everday because of our fucking ignorance

or maybe just because the color of their pigment is

differnent from theirs and so they wanna diss

like i just wanna settle down and give my momma a kiss

you motherfuckers acting like a bunc of illiterates

killing people everyday just with ur fucking ignorance

 

verse 2

 

think of all the times that people have resisted

against the things that we thought were imprinted

al the people taken by corporate greed

all the big pharma who pretend that they know our needs

sometimes i get on my knees and pray

for the people who might not make it through the day

or even just the people who cant even pay

to life the way that they want to

im sick and tired of the bullshit that were being fed

like i fucked youre bitch inside of youre bed

or all the rappers talking about taking meds

like look man chill i respect youre threads

thats not to say i like you

but i aint dissin

i just think that you need to respect our woman

mumble rap is gonna be the death of hip hop

like lets go back to the days of tip top

where tupac, biggie, NWA

id take that over this any day

 

chorus

 

you ever heard about the shit thats going thats going down in africa

or maybe the lives taken in panama

people dying everday because of our fucking ignorance

or maybe just because the color of their pigment is

differnent from theirs and so they wanna diss

like i just wanna settle down and give my momma a kiss

you motherfuckers acting like a bunc of illiterates

killing people everyday just with ur fucking ignorance

 

verse 3

 

my friend yohannes

got shot to death

by some idiot who was high off meth

i never talked about it

just kinda shutout it

untill i had to let off all of the stress

i feel like weve all got a friend who died

and i dont think anyone could take that in stride

rip everyone all of those who died

in the struggle

to keep our souls alive

were grateful to yall

who made the sacrifice

and lets let their deaths amplify

the fact that we need more more thenbitches and hoes

and nobody really those designer clothes

so band toghther

stop the apressor

cause we all know that no one is lesser

verse 4

 

despite their efforts

the struggle lives on

and we dont just do it to ban the bomb

we do this for our family

so they can all live happily

its like we have a blindfold over our eyes

so we cant even see when our homie dies

red or blue bandanna

strechted over our eyes

its like sometimes, we cant even hear the lies

were to focused on our fucking ties

build a wall

to keep them out

its making me ready to break out and shout

that this isnt right

its not how we live

weve been through a lot, the world

weve been whireld and twirled, but we still havent learned

that peace

is what we hurled
