Calculated Ignorance

[Verse 1]

This is calculated ignorance

Sick with the penmanship

Simple mathematics

Most definitely I’m ripping this

Microphone killer

I just had to get my feet wet

Current top 10

I Think it’s time I get my respect

And People staring at me like I’m some sort of a reject

But I’ve been killing beats before Kanye had his brain snatched

That ain’t no disrespect to Mr. West

Shit I just want the album

Cause every genius is labeled crazy

For thinking differently then what the system intended and people never understand

Because they never ask the questions

Is there hell or heaven?

I often wonder and stumble on that a lot

But shit I’d hate to think the end is nothing more than sitting in a box

Mortal man

With an immortal flow

Eye patch like Slick Rick

But I ain’t ever sleep with both closed

Eye of the tiger

Keep adding fuel to the fire

It’s hard hearing the hate

Because we built an empire

Out of everything you said I’d never be

I'm watching tables turn

And once the numbers rise you finally get a seat

The truth is life is hard and everybody needs to find release

And you can have the millions I would rather have my mental peace

Every beat I touch is getting murdered

This you best believe

And if your talking shit close your mouth human centipede

Yeah


[Verse 2]

Been serving rappers and kill em' after the entree

You rarely see me out I’m moving randomly like Andre

It seems this generation forgot about

Both members

Like 2 legends can never coexist inside this era

I was never into bragging bout the shit that I’ve obtained

But the fan base it’s growing each an' everyday

Got death threats from dudes who said they want me in a hearse

I swiped over just to see there girl was wearing my merch

As her profile pic

Real story

I speak the truth

I work 7 days a week

Still pour my heart in the booth

So never tell me that you ain’t got time for doing what u love

Creating music takes me higher I don’t need to be buzzed

I’m so ahead of time

Mind racing it never stops

Not defined by the numbers or if my album will flop

They don’t care until your dead and gone

Or kicking up rocks

Had conversations with legends

Who look to me as an equal

Extraordinary

Part time

But I preach to the people

Imagine if I was able to quit my day job

Imagine if I was able to take a day off

But that’s the price u pay

On the road to becoming great

So let’s celebrate how far we’ve really came

Minimum wage

Is not for me

I’m flipping the script that they intended

Word to B.I.G. Em Nasty Nas an' Jay Z

Along with every other legend in this game who paved the lane

For other artists

I promise

As long as I’m alive

Hip-hop will always have a heart beat

I was raised by this culture and I’d die

By this game

Even Freddy couldn’t kill my dreams I will obtain

I'll never settle for less

Whether happy or depressed

I am human

An' I bleed like the rest


[Verse 3]

While all these cats be sneak dissing

Use controversy to gain attention

Spamming back and forth than post the mentions

The platform is shifted

Hatred is the motivation

Wannabes creating static

Just because they never had the talent

And it’s hard to grasp that

Shit I ain’t even a YouTube rapper

Im just eating popcorn

While all these grown dudes bicker and banter

About each other than go act like friends

This industry is not your family and it sure ain’t your friend

All my musics from the heart and I talk about what I’m going through

I stay out of drama graduated 2 years ago

And y’all some kamikazes

Who keep blowing up your own ship

And word travels fast so you better watch your tone quick

Or end up with the caution tape

That’s wrapped around my mic stand

Paper thin bars

I think it’s time to switch your flight plans

Scopes gotta long range

Extended like the 14th

Track off my album

In the mountains tryna find peace

Hey Colin I think I’m done
