Dream Breathing Lyrics by Cole Young

Intelligent Ignorance

0

[Verse: Cole Young]
Decent man with some common flaws
He told me looking back he wished he would've fathered more
We never really had a relationship all in all
Shit, I ain't tripping, though
I learned that something gone is gone
I grew up where the papas walk
The mamas off, trying to keep or cop a job
As kids we all designed a wall
Kill the pain, fuck a Tylenol
We found it hard to talk
Emotions always bottled off
But when them bottles got to poppin' off
We started poppin' off!
Like "Who the fuck gon' tell me what to do?"
Middle fingers in the air, yelling "Fuck you, too!"
Off the cliff, we don't know no "Huxtables"
Reckless and dysfunctional, careless and corruptible
Restless and uncomfortable, don't want no beef but cut the bull
And my niggas all on that same ship
Going thru all that same shit, but we don't say shit
Just let the pain sit in a gang of glacial gazes
Age hits and your brain shifts and the days shift like the day shift
They don't change shit, just rearrange it
We used to laugh a lot, but now we're mad a lot
That's why I used to pen poems, but now I rap a lot
That's why Ray used to be sober, but now he's smashed a lot
Because our structure's been ruptured and this is the aftershock
I know my actions shock, my mama raised me better
But my environment's stronger, I guess it raised me better
But made me worse
I bet it's scary to watch your baby's errors
A ton of mothers goin' through, can't imagine these ladies' terror
And their daughters' are down to fuck
If that means sluttin' for nothin' thinkin' they findin' love
But once the diamond's crushed their time is up
They're outta luck
The first time is the worst time
Cause that's what they're reminded of 
When looking at the guy above
By the guy above
Don't get confused, not in the sky above
I'm talkin' right above
The new guy that she tries to mine for love
Well, that's a game of "Miner's Luck"
But take it to the slot and try your luck
Cause these niggas fuckin' cum a dime a nut
And it's a fair bet that these niggas couldn't care less
I fuckin' told you, they're careless
The closest that they ever get to showing heart is a bare chest
Often scribbled with ink, that's purposed to mask the cavity
For now fill it with la, that's purposed to battle gravity
After you fuckin' lose, you can snap back to reality
Lapse back to insanity, that's back to humanity
Lab rats for duality's fast track to neutrality
Intelligent ignorance: man's average mentality
So I don't trust nobody, they're two-faced
Some niggas went and got a new face
So I'm out here posted with a screw face
Fuck it then, I'm tuckin' in' my shoelace
Ain't trippin'. Trying to move to a new place
But see my old ways in my new days
Brought my baggage up, but no suitcase
But I'll be fine, I don't need no one to help me
Ain't nothin' no one could tell me
I don't think no one could feel me
Cause I don't think that no one knows the real me
What makes me stronger fuckin' kills me
I guess that's why we-
[Hook: Teddy Woolman]
Inhale green, exhale dreams
Nothin' better than chillin' with my team
Zip in my pocket, branch in my hand
Snapback's always chillin' on my fuckin' head
Stay cooled out
Nigga, fuck swag
All I do is grind
Got the team on my back
