Never Known

NEVER KNOWN

Smart Brother with an Afro like a halo round his head,
Still marching to the rhythm of a hero that hate beat dead
Heard his kin in the gutter call a damn good woman a  bitch
Says I thought we'd all gone a little further, 
Why you scratching that same old itch

Forgive me if I preach
But don't he wanna reach
For  what the world can teach him 
(the guy says...)
 
This ignorance is bliss
There's not a thing I miss
But listening to this hymn

It's like this
Coz I don't wanna know, I don't ever ask, 
And because $ I don't ask
It's never  owned
 So if it isn't for me, I won't even look 
And because I don't look 
It's never known.

Sister with aspirations, to inspire other lives
If only she can hold it, past the school yard hunting knives.
Every kids got a story, how they had to get a bigger blade
Cos being real cool doesnt cut it, 
You make your mark with the right upgrade 
 
She'll try to make them see
How different it can be
Study without cold feet on 
(the kids say...)

This ignorance is bliss
Are you trying to diss
Next on the lists a big gun
