Cash Jordan - Intelligent Ignorance lyrics

[Verse 1: Cole Young] Faded... I'm faded Goddammit, I'm faded! The b**hes are cool, but my n***as are blazing A strain that'd make Eric Cartman look Asian My mind's on the game and the paper we're chasing The dumb and the reckless: that's my generation Live fast and die young and, goddammit, we're racing I rap for the nation Of ignorant kids who insist on this instant for gratification Damn, Cole Young is so young and impatient Reluctant to pace sh**, and hungry for greatness I guess that's the way that us youngins was raised in An era where you have to struggle to make it By f**ing with capers We sat back and looked at our f**ing creation We got the big hit and we covered the bases Then realized we should have just stuck to the basics But,f** it, we're shameless The d**h of the innocent messed with my innocence I quit giving a sh** and I messed with the insolent Befriended the n***as that's hella indifferent Yet hella belligerent with a fetish for impudence I crept with the k**ers and slept with the sinners In step with the villains That held all their heads in ahellish imprisonment The weapon I flex is a devilish instrument Intelligent Ignorance [Hook: Cole Young] I should've tried harder I lived easy cause I was afraid to die hard But life's hard Nothing you could tell yourself could change that I paid the price, but never got my change back [Verse 2: Don Noir] Let the beat play And I'm reminiscing in intermission Of sins committed and wisdoms wasted on kids who didn't listen Ignorant visions intruding on sensible decisions More interest in centerfolds and swishers Than center stage and pictures at graduation I picked up habits chasing a sense of validation that sh** stuck Now shift up a couple grades and nothing's changed Another day, another f**ing fade And I'm not talking haircuts But, eh, we all gotta die of something May as well be something under my control Something I can hold With the hunger in my soul, swear my stomach's got a whole in it But life's a buffet and I see no limits, go get it Alone sitting in a dorm room with four dudes And some cold women I hope "Just Go With It" like Nicole Kidman It's a state of nature- take a page from Hobbes No mistakes if you ain't afraid of a God Don't play with me dog [Hook 2: Don Noir] The weapon I flex is a devilish instrument This is Intelligent Ignorance b**h, are you listening? I said, this is Intelligent Ignorance [Verse 3: Double A] "This mothef**er's stupid" Is what I've heard but many a time Many a rhyme people been coppin' for pennies or dimes Takin' my timewith every line I present to you what has influenced me The 317 made me be that way with much congruence Choose your fate Too late for me, I'll be what makes a f**in' nuisance Use the gates of hell to make me fear an end that's really useless Oozin' out of me is confidence Which really is improvement from the past When I was happy being nothing but a student Well, f** that, I say You gon' have to work harder to make me that way Cause I've found I like it better clownin' as two A's Check your sound cause Verbal Riot has come out to play I'm so ignant but figments of every pigment Keep racin' all through mind but malignancy is indignant My life oughtta be a play And my world, nothin' but a stage and I write It in every page of my sight Better check my age, cause I hate All of that racket, and I sure as hell don't act it So why does the fame attack it to see when my skull will crack? And, b**h, you really gotta back the f** up off my résumé Make 'em pay Intelligent Ignorance with Cole and Ray [Outro] "We just want you to know that- um- this isn't our fault We're at the wrong place at the wrong time. A lot We're really not bad kids. Alright? Yeah."
