I Don't Know

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

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

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
