Who Told You?

We have had the occasion
Of listening to many speakers
Talk about the value of education

Whoever told you ignorance is bliss was full of shit
(Lies)
How'd you let somebody else control how you should think
(Uhha)
If you have no plans on standing up for something you should sit
(Sit down!)
An MC out for justice I can't quit I'm too legit

I'm posing questions in all my lessons before I take what they advise
There's more to me than just flows and beats
So I can't compare to these rap guys
A fool is known when his mouth is open
So silence makes a man act wise
Those lacking vision and hate to listen
Can't see the truth but they have eyes
"Should we believe the messages received?" They be asking me
I say, "Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see."
You don't have to pay the school to learn what you can have for free
Knowledge is the key if you agree then say this after me

Whoever told you ignorance is bliss was full of shit
How'd you let somebody else control how you should think
If you have no plans on standing up for something you should sit

It has a goal it makes you ball but still it doesn't dribble
(Hhmm)
It's hard to get but how to get it's really plain and simple
(Interesting)
Pay attention, this' the Age of Info
What you know about the fight for your attention span?
(Nothing)
And do you know that Woke Agenda's part of Satan's plan?
(Really?)
They call you woke but want you sleep so you don't question them
(Okay)
Keep you comfy in your seat so you don't take a stand
Everybody's seeking happiness but everybody's depressed
(Uhh)
Everybody's getting to that money but everybody is stressed
(Uhhh)
Everyone is saying that they're real but everyone has fake friends
(Fake)
Wanting love that they cannot give
Can someone make it make sense?
(How?)
So it's no surprise we're disorganized 'cause we fall for lies
Often times it's the open minds getting ostracized
They can never keep us down if we get taught to rise
(Never)
Don't get caught up on the how's focus on the why's

The governor and I
And the Member of Parliament and I
While we were listening to the young man who was rapping
Were amusing to ourselves
