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
