lirik lagu cole young - intelligent ignorance
[verse 1: cole young]
faded… i’m faded
goddammit, i’m faded!
the b-tches are cool, but my n-ggas 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
d-mn, cole young is so young and impatient
reluctant to pace sh-t, 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-cking with capers
we sat back and looked at our f-cking creation
we got the big hit and we covered the bases
then realized we should have just stuck to the basics
but,f-ck it, we’re shameless
the death of the innocent messed with my innocence
i quit giving a sh-t and i messed with the insolent
befriended the n-ggas that’s h-lla indifferent
yet h-lla belligerent with a fetish for impudence
i crept with the k!llers and slept with the sinners
in step with the villains
that held all their heads in ah-llish 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-t stuck
now shift up a couple grades and nothing’s changed
another day, another f-cking 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-tch, are you listening?
i said, this is intelligent ignorance
[verse 3: double a]
“this mothef-cker’s stupid”
is what i’ve heard but many a time
many a rhyme people been coppin’ for pennies or dimes
takin’ my time with 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-ckin’ nuisance
use the gates of h-ll 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-ck 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 h-ll don’t act it
so why does the fame attack it to see when my skull will crack?
and, b-tch, you really gotta back the f-ck 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.”
