Description
This song is about the same age as Pen n Paper. Both were created back in the stage where I would write poetry first, and then convert it into a song. You can tell at certain points where the lyrics are a bit cluttered. Anyways, this song is about something that I support without hesitation: spreading wisdom.
Lyrics
Chorus: Round and round we go. Where we stop no one will know. Are we high, or are we low? This can't be real man, this a joke (ha)/ I can't take this anymore. Sweeping the nation – is a sensation – an abomination And it must be stopped. If nothing is done, and we let it run free There will be nothing left of you, or of me. There will be no remnant of the human race. Self-mortification; gone without a trace. It consumes the soul, and nullifies the mind Paralyzingly the victim and leaving them blind. Ignorance is the thing I speak of. It's been on my mind lately because In everything that anyone does I can say without a doubt that ignorance is there. But be aware that ignorance dwells at different levels. There are those who seem to let it settle Down and fully capture their thoughts Those who seem to never have fought Against it. But, then there's the rest of us. Those of us who appear to see the relevance In fighting back with our intelligence We do it for the hell-of-it. (Chorus) Seek knowledge like it was never sought before. We always flying high; we never on the floor. We do it simply cause we really wanna know About the people in the world and about what makes em go And, on a side-note, that's what intellect is: Collective perspective; all about the bus – Ness of the way the world views things. Walking in the shoes of other human beings. Drake said that we in the same building, But, that we ain't got the same views. Intelligence, is what you use To get to the top of the building where you got all the views. Ignorance, on the other hand, is the opposite. You not on top the building, you all up under it. Inconsiderate and focused only on yourself, Never think about the views of anyone else. (Chorus) And so I'm brought back around to my point. The point that society is joint – Ly. Self-centered and self-ordained. Obsessed with being number one in the game. All we wanna do -is- get up to the top Don't give a second-glance to the ones that we knock Down. To other peoples' feelings, we are numb. It's ridiculous man! What have we become? ...But, I guess when it comes down to it And you're the only one you have in your sight You're not gonna think about anything that I just said Cause...”Ignorance is bliss” ...right?
