Ignorance Is Bliss Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jeswon]
Whats poppin' bruh?
Yeah tell me what's crackin', yo what the fuck'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

[Hook: 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

[Verse 2: 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

[Hook: 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

[Outro]
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

Have you ever scrolled down your FB feed and seen some friend of a friend who has posted up some ignorant bullshit going in on others that are perhaps less fortunate than themselves?
