Ignorance Is Bliss

She says i'm book smart

But I don't have no street sense

Maybe because books have commas

But don't make cents

The allure of a man that defies the law

Peaks her interest

Asked me why EYE

Read so many books

They don't make a difference

To her it's about living in the "present"

God must have Pre-Sent me to deliver this message

Understand that

She's been preconditioned to beleive that

The past has no significance 

And if i tell her about 

The black mans 400 years of enslavement 

Or elaborate about how

We've been miseducated 

Her face becomes jaded

Then she repeats herself SAYING...

Your book smart 

But you have no street sense

And at that moment I realized that

To some

Ignorance is Bliss
