freddy e - spoken word: ignorance lyrics

[verse: freddy e]
my pen blends the thoughts in my head
sadly, these aren’t the only sentences facing black men
they blame bad luck for lack of bucks with their hands outstretched
they’re reaching for change but i only have common sense to lend
because, knowledge is priceless and being broke is the equivalence of ignorance
it’s far from bliss, it’s far from this
i tell them to listen but they can’t afford to pay attention
a nation’s generation so caught up in affiliation
lost with no destinations, empty seats at graduations…
searching for patience feels like i’m searching for the man
in the red and white sweater and hat with the blue pants and gl-sses again…
d-mn, there i go getting distracted again
bad habits and friends seem to mix like affection and gin
while bullets seem to be the only shots these n-ggas can bartend
and we’re back in church and it’s not even the weekend
everything happens for a reason
i’m just praying god let’s me see another four seasons
yeah… and i’m praying for you
as i ridicule this fabricated truth among the youth
that success is only found on a court or in a booth
as i sit and view this news of this suicidal genocide
that’s got us scared of our own kind
they got one life lost to white lines and jail time
what good are the eyes if your mind is blind?
what good is the message if you ignore the signs?
you see… i’m just bringing all the facts in
my words are like a chemical compound
i’m just trying to get a reaction
