Ignant Ignorance

Let's get one thing straight
I'm not a Jo'burg nigga
I just reside in it
West or East
Don't take no sides in it
North or South
I said it's fuck a compass
And it's fuck a campus
You don't need a degree
To become philanthropist
You don't need a lecturer
To become an alchemist
Melanin melanin melanin
Ohh melanin
Umntu omnyama
Nim'mela nini
Nimhlaba ngemela emin
Always got the guillotine
And willing to sell a dream
Black man you on your own huh
This is optimism
And some actualism
Always on my shit
Fast metabolism
They won't glorify
Egyptians buildings prisms
They fear us
So they built mental prisons
Negative thoughts
I just had to rid 'em
Then I got my rhythm
My brain runs complicated
Algorithms
You know I got the loot
I remember the struggle
Of getting new soccer boots
Friend of mine
Stole them from me
Now I understand
Had it way worse than me
That's the result of poverty
And the curse it breeds
Nobody in the hood
Wakes up and decides
It's nice to be a criminal
Tryna make a way
With opportunities minimal
Who doesn't wanna be a King Caesar?
This the devil's world my nigga
You need God
Ooooh isiqu siqoqiwe
Indlebe igqogqiwe
In tune with my frequencies
Dedicated to my decencies
Take it as it is
Ignorance ignant
Knowledge bliss
I told 'em about the totem
Same time
She put her lips
All up on my scrotum
Ask "do we have a connection?"
I'm not a modem
Some issues I had to sort
This that body in the ghetto
But mind on a resort
Keep misery company
Where's passion goin' stay?
I'm always broke
My jeans are ripped
Not in a fashionable way
How he connect with higher powers
In a tangible state
I'm in a different realm
Walked in the dark so long
I could read braille
Forever prevail
Still eat the bread
Even when it turn stale
Ucimba ubomi ngupuca
Sudlala ngam
Love real friends
Ngathi bazalwa nam
Iintwana zam
Zingalwa ngam
Nikela kuThixo
Ba ayinganga ngam
Ooooh isiqu siqoqiwe
Indlebe igqogqiwe
In tune with my frequencies
Dedicated to my decencies
Take it as it is
Ignorance ignant
Knowledge bliss
