Get Ignorant - CunninLynguists

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
