| You try to get success directly
|
| But there is one to destroy us
|
| Sometimes the way is of need
|
| Perhaps you may get ignorant
|
| Do I gotta get ign’ant and show my pigment on the job
|
| Slap the darkest part of my hand across jaws
|
| These days and times with jobs hard to find
|
| You gotta work a salt mine or work an assault 9
|
| Most folks barely staying afloat through proper channels
|
| And think the rich sit with black candles and slaughter mammals
|
| And run the globe with mind control and 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 can get my picket fenceand and yellow lab
|
| That American Dream makes me wake up and scream
|
| That consist of old money buying shiny new things
|
| That I’m about to break as 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
|
| You try to get success directly
|
| But there is one to destroy us
|
| Sometimes the way is of need
|
| Perhaps you may get ignorant
|
| I’m early e’ry day, never took a vacation
|
| Through mandatory overtime I always stay patient
|
| Through all the petty dramas I’m calmer than a sloth
|
| But the shit don’t change like if Obama woulda lost
|
| I done worked my ass 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 nobody’s tagging you in all the pictures?
|
| Well here’s a good one of you tagging your wife’s sister
|
| Like THAT- See I been knowing ways to fight back
|
| Vimeo of you saying you don’t like blacks
|
| Clearly though, full HD and in stereo
|
| Your network’s got holes, my dude, cheerio!
|
| You try to get success directly
|
| But there is one to destroy us
|
| Sometimes the way is of need
|
| Perhaps you may get ignorant
|
| Look, success is just a thought but it can push us to the edge
|
| Put it in our heads at an early age like the Pledge
|
| Give our allegiance, while your at it give your souls
|
| Won’t tell you til you’re grown that all that glitters ain’t gold
|
| 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
|
| Rappers spending all they 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
|
| Genocide in East Africa, but you watching Battlestar Gallactica
|
| Filling up the data in the back of your digital camera
|
| Taking glamorous shots of your mammaries
|
| Surrounded by Vanity Fair magazine
|
| And 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 |
