Ignorances Is Taken

Ignorance is taken and ignorance is given  
Progression on the mind while oppression stay hidden 
Please don’t judge me because I say the word nigga 
To me it’s just a word that really means ignorant 
But ignorance’s is taken so ignorance’s given
Try to stay calm and forget past feelings 
I’m no longer living where I need my pistol 
Keep it locked up until I get an uneasy feeling 
Everything’s legit check my papers you don’t believe me
I want more money but I’m to humble to turn greedy 
I’d rather struggle day to day then sellout to something I don’t believe in
Living check to check and I still feel blessed because I have a roof over my head
I’ve been homeless and I won’t go back again 
I’m done selling drugs I’m an honest working man 
Working on getting my  medicinal  so I can medicate 
I’m not making new problems just correcting old mistakes 
walk a mile in my shoes bet you’ll quit after a quick pace 
Ignorance’s is taken so we give ignorance’s away
