Akala - I Don't Know lyrics

They say ignorance is bliss Never a truer word spoke Half the answers only bring more questions that we'll never know Even the wise man knows he don't know much Still not wise enough to accept it as such So we chase the questions seeking direction Every time we think we're right get a swift correction Whether m**m or Jew really don't matter which You can't buy tomorrow no matter how rich We all bleed and breathe and take sh**s And chase the same answers Though some think are better equipped But with all the test tubes and test and so-called best They still don't know A theory is just a posh word for a guess Because you're in a skyscraper don't make you different From those in huts along the Amazon And not more significant We're all the same all rise all fall But those on high horses have the furthest to fall The moon and the stars Fast women and cars Is this world truly ours? Or are we just entertainment Chasing it all we rise and we fall Said I don't know The moon and the stars Fast women and cars Is this world truly ours? Or are we just entertainment Chasing it all we rise and we fall Said I don't know They say ignorance is bliss never believe it Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it Truth you gotta seek it, wherever its hidden Or else you'll find yourself dancing to someone else's rhythm Mental prison is the worst kind You can take my liberty but my mind is mine Whatever they controlling, never let your brain close in The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open Smoking gun but they say they never shoot No such thing as a fruit without root Truth not being told will never make it go away A lie told a thousand times can never take it's place They say it's fate, but take a proper view They're trying to hold so many destiny's in their hands They're bound to drop a few So the more we keep moving, the better chance we got Everybody knows a rolling stone gathers no moss The moon and the stars Fast women and cars Is this world truly ours? Or are we just entertainment Chasing it all we rise and we fall Said I don't know The moon and the stars Fast women and cars Is this world truly ours? Or are we just entertainment Chasing it all we rise and we fall Said I don't know They say ignorance is bliss, well I ain't got a clue All you gotta do is whatever that works for you But when 6 billion individuals looking out for number 1 And we got to share the same sun That's when the troubles come That brings us back to where we started Face to face with the cold-hearted facts That there are no answers My head all of this chit-chat I don't even smoke But I'ma go have a spliff and just kick back The moon and the stars Fast women and cars Is this world truly ours? Or are we just entertainment Chasing it all we rise and we fall Said I don't know The moon and the stars Fast women and cars Is this world truly ours? Or are we just entertainment Chasing it all we rise and we fall Said I don't know You know, don't ask me I'm not a prophet I'm not the answer I'm just a rapper A little boy from North London What you've heard for the last 40 minutes It's my opinion My thoughts, my feelings It's not right, it's not wrong It's just what it is It's just Akala
