[Hook] You try to get success directly But there is one to destroy us Sometimes the way is of need Perhaps you may get ignorant [Natti] 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 a**ault 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 b**h, 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 [Hook] [Deacon] 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 sh** don't change like if Obama woulda lost I done worked my a** about 2011 years And I'm usually far from anything that heaven fears But I'm feeling off-kilter. I ain't about to k** ya But I am about to loosen up this filter. Here's you: Jerking off to Halle Berry on the sh**ter Then firing a n***a 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! [Hook] [Deacon] 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 [Kno] 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
