Akala – I Dont Know Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- 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 Muslim or Jew really don’t matter which
- You can’t buy tomorrow no matter how rich
- We all bleed and breathe and take shits
- 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
Chorus
- 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
Verse 2
- 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
Chorus
- 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
Verse 3
- 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
Chorus
- 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
Outro
- 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
