Lyrics
[Jeswon] Whats poppin' bruh? Yeah tell me what's crackin', yo what the f*ck's happenin? I'm half Anglo-Saxon dawg The other half's Latin, I'm basically smashin' it I blend in with the masses but I live in a spot where reality's hideous I gotta come clean on my privilege I gotta tell you how it really is I got male privilege Straight privilege, white privilege Get it every single second of the day Every minute of the night type privilege So when I hear a white person whinging About how really they don't see privilege I'm like you're a straight up idiot You cannot be serious If you don't see that the systems insidious Twisted and really designed for your benefit Then you're the silliest cracker I've ever met Renderin' all your opinions irrelevant Whoa! And I ain't reppin' it But can choose to ignore so I'm livin' at large The agendas supremacist Look at my skin, I guess that i'm guilty as charged [Jeswon] Ignorance is bliss Ignorance is bliss But there's ignorance in my pigment Do I get ignorant and get lit If I don't admit to my privilege From the pigment up in my skin Then that's dumb shit, play the victim 'Bout as ignorant as it gets Ignorance is bliss Ignorance is bliss But there's ignorance in my pigment Do I get ignorant and get lit If I don't admit to my privilege From the pigment up in my skin Then that's dumb shit, play the victim 'Bout as ignorant as it gets [Tuka] Am I that boy in the bubble? Am I oblivious? Am I indifferent? Is prejudice something I've never experienced? Have I avoided that struggle? Have I been ignorant? Is it significant? Something I choose to ignore or Do I get defensive when the shit comes up? Even though I never fed food to that thought Hot damn! Am I losin' my mind? School forgot to mention racism is institutionalised God damn! Does that mean I've done something wrong? Is it uncomfortable to hear the words that are sung in this song? My bad Have I been runnin' my lip or have I been runnin' away? Has it been under my nose? Has it been in front of my face? Why do I have nothing to say? White man This world keeps screaming at you Are you to insecure to listen to the inconvenient truth [Jeswon] Ignorance is bliss Ignorance is bliss But there's ignorance in my pigment Do I get ignorant and get lit If I don't admit to my privilege From the pigment up in my skin Then that's dumb shit, play the victim 'Bout as ignorant as it gets Ignorance is bliss Ignorance is bliss But there's ignorance in my pigment Do I get ignorant and get lit If I don't admit to my privilege From the pigment up in my skin Then that's dumb shit, play the victim 'Bout as ignorant as it gets I'm gon' get it right One day we gon' get it right Right, I'm gon' get it right One day we gon' get it right Right, I'm gon' get it right One day we gon' get it right Right, I'm gon' get it right One day
