Ignorance
King Lil G Lyrics

I said fuck school
I made a bad decision by dropping out of school

Not knowing it would affect me
I was ignorant and didn't realize the long term effects of dropping out of school

Ignorance got me blinded
My lack of knowledge and understanding hindered my growth and success

I'm hoping the world excepts me
I want to be accepted by society despite my mistakes

But I'm nothing like the popular kids tho
I don't fit in with the popular crowd and don't want to conform to their ideals

Ese's don't fuck around
People in my community are tough and don't take things lightly

Even the bloods & the crips know
The well-known gangs in my area are familiar with how tough things can be

My teacher & my principal
Two authority figures in my life

Needed to speak with moms
They had to speak with my mother about my behavior and attendance

Hi miss gonzales, I'm sorry to call your job
The teacher is apologizing to my mother for bothering her at her job

And I'm sorry to inform you
The teacher is about to inform my mother of my bad behavior in school

But somethings been going on
There have been issues with my behavior and attendance in school

I hate to say it
The teacher feels guilty for having to tell my mother about my bad behavior

Alex been disobeying the law
I have been breaking rules and laws

He wears baggy pants
I dress in a way that doesn't comply with the school dress code

And he likes to write on the walls
I vandalize school property

And I seen em kissing different girls
I participate in romantic behavior with multiple girls

Walking them thru the halls
I am seen openly participating in romantic behavior in the school hallways

My mother said hmm...
My mother is hesitant to believe what the teacher is saying

I'm sorry no comprende, no speak no ingles
My mother doesn't understand the teacher's English

Not knowing my bad attendance
My mother is not aware of my poor attendance record

I'm thinking fuck it homie, I'm smoking till I collapse
I don't care about my behavior or the consequences and I continue to smoke marijuana as a coping mechanism

Walking thru my apartments, I'm hearing the door slam
I walk through my apartment complex and hear the sounds of doors slamming in frustration or anger

Look my mom, I'm really trying to help you understand
I want to make my mother aware of my issues and the reason behind my behavior

I wanna break rules and fuck different women just like my dad
I am trying to live up to my father's lifestyle and am using it as an excuse to act out

Sometimes I like to chill homie
Sometimes I just want to relax

Sometimes I like to smoke
Smoking marijuana helps me cope with my problems

Sometimes I wish I never left school
I regret dropping out of school

Because all I do is graffiti & sell dope
I engage in criminal behavior since I am not in school

Oh yeah, throw my neighborhood in the air
I am proud of my neighborhood and want to show it off

Like I don't care
I am trying to appear as tough and uncaring

It was way too easy to skip class
Skipping class was an easy and tempting option

The only thing I paid attention to was doing math
I only cared about the math required for my drug dealing

Something told me in the future
I had a gut feeling that the future would be difficult

Gotta be alert
I must be aware and prepared for potential danger

Thank god to the decimals
I am grateful for my mathematical skills, which help me in drug dealing

To help me move that work
I use my math skills to help distribute drugs

It was fucked up
The situation was not ideal

When everyone graduated but me
I was left behind as my peers graduated

Getting left behind
I was being held back and not progressing

While people followed their dream
Others were pursuing their passions and goals

Will I become a hypocrite?
I worry that I will become someone who is contradicting their beliefs or values

People blaming the government
Some blame the government for their misfortunes and circumstances

Drug money & rubber bands
I use drug money to hold it together with rubber bands, which is a common way to organize money in the drug world

Knowing they gave us all a chance
The government and education system gave me and others a chance to succeed

But it was fucked up
However, the circumstances were not ideal and not everyone could succeed despite the opportunity given

Smoking all the weed
I use marijuana as a coping mechanism

Fucking bitches who notice me
I engage in sexual activity with girls who are attracted to me

Who the fuck do I wanna be
I am unsure of who I am or who I want to become

I'm nothing like my friends
I don't relate to or share qualities with my friends who have gone down other paths

Who went to jail last week
My friends have recently been imprisoned

Some became drug addicts
Other friends have become addicted to drugs

And now they stuck on tweak
They are now stuck in a cycle of addiction

Most of the bitches that I knew back then
The girls I knew from my past

They ain't pretty no more
They don't look as good as they used to

Baby daddy's back in the pen
The father of their child is back in prison

God damn man I should've never left school
I regret dropping out of school

I should've stayed the same kid
I should have remained the respectful and well-behaved child I was before
