ignorance is bliss, but thine is bittersweet - keneddythedon lyrics

[intro]
big facts, better take one step back and lay back
better lay low, the enemy wants payback from makin’ it back from h-ll
i’m labelled a ne’er-do-well
so, i guess i fail, and that’s big facts
better take one step back and lay back
better lay low, the enemy wants payback from makin’ it back from h-ll
i’m labelled a ne’er-do-well
so, i guess i fail, and that’s big facts

[bridge]
i thought it was ok to live with you
but time and time again, i’m away from you
they make it hard to live like you
why can’t i live like you do?

[verse 1]
they say that ignorance is bliss
what a f-cking blessing
you blessed to never stress about losing your life as a lesson
our compet-tion’s just not same, you argue that things have changed
the fact that it don’t sting you lets me know you don’t feel our pain
you just see the painting that’s on the wall
it’s painted for you so you don’t see the true nature or get involved
your inst-tutionalized to not bat an eye when we cryin’ out
as if we cryin’ out for attention
why would we lie about gettin’ k!lled on a daily basis?
i know we k!ll people with similar faces, but it happens in every race
don’t change the subject, i see you pacing as sweat drops down your face
your evasion tactics are obsolete
i know you possibly feel like i eradicated your philosophy
nah, i’m jokin’
i can’t evaporate it like hocus pocus or make you closer to losing your focus on it
i know you strongly believe that we’re seen as equals, homie
that only makes us feel lonely

[pre-hook]
the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
the more you despise the color, the more we produce
we’re better than that statistic you see on the news
we can’t be united ‘til you see that we’re set up to lose

[hook]
i’ve been fighting my whole life to figure out why i can’t live like you
why i can’t be with you
tell me why it’s so hard to be like you
was i only meant to be a shadow of you?
why can’t i stand next to you?

[verse 2]
they say that ignorance is bliss
let me ask this question:
would it be bliss if the victim felt like an insurrection would be the best response?
if we sp-wned in your neighborhood, would you run?
or, would you consider that we may reside on neighboring lawns?
would you consider that your safety is bittersweet?
we could commit the same sin, but it’s felt that our future bleak
we’re vilified for a pigmentation we did not seek
over generations, we’ve been made the scapegoat, but we never relinquished
the plot was to vanquish us – make us dependent on the system
perpetuate a stereotype that we’re made to be villains
i’m f-ckin’ tired of the system
i’m f-ckin’ tired of the ignorance and the accusations
tired of proclamations of change, but never for race relations
i know of individuals losing patience and losing hope
using coping mechanisms to alleviate their dome or get erased

[verse 3]
they say that ignorance is bliss
there’s so much truth to that statement
you make proclamations that i’m just babbling and need justification
you just proving my point
it’s so bittersweet that your life remains in a sequence of babbled illusions
you live in a parallel universe
this disillusion is needed for “you” and “i” to work
for better or for worse, yet we determined to be in he-rs-s
i ain’t talkin’ ‘bout you this time, i’m talking about my curse
the curse that puts animosity where it doesn’t belong amongst my people
carrying a desert eagle to even the score or equal out our population
what a plan that’s so evil!
don’t you see the scheme that’s in place?
it’s meant to keep us back and make us go backwards
like all the accolades and success we made – it don’t even matter
we better work together, or they gon’ serve us on silver platters
as a matter of fact, scratch that – it’s been done with digital data
make a plan, because there’s no back up
