Ignorance Is Bliss

(Album: Red October - 2023)

Ignorance is bliss, nigga
Ignorance is bliss (DT da Kidd)
(Beat those drums)

No days off until we wealthy
Sorry I'm so self-centered, it seem selfish
I'ma go and help myself before I'm helpless
'Cause can't nobody rescue me
Escaping all my demons, now I feel just like a refugee
At war with myself, you know what bothers me?
The fact that even if I win, I lose a part of me
Before I lay me down to sleep, my soul is non-negotiable
All I know is C-note, I could be a vocal coach
Pif, you ripped my heart away, how the fuck I'm supposed to cope?
How the fuck I'm 'posed to keep my head up down this lonely road?
No, I didn't cry when my dad died, my anger
Wouldn't let me shed a single tear for a stranger
Not now, not ever in life
You never 'posed to say never, but said it twice
Am I 'posed to take my cake and feed my mama's face?
If so, what do I take to make my daughters' plate?
How I'm 'posed to ensure my kids' futures are bright
If I gotta pay my mama back for giving me life?
I mean, even if I could, she couldn't give me no price
I've given mama all I had and it still doesn't suffice
I bought my mama a Benz, it cost me fifty K cash
She told my brother she ain't want it 'cause it ain't come with nav'
I invest in myself and then I share with my folks
Ain't drop no album in 2020 because I went broke
I had my head above water, another sip and I'd drown
Took every dollar I had to put Pif in the ground
I still had to survive, I still had to provide
I had to swallow my pride, I had to borrow from smiles
Then my granddad had passed and I was down to my last
Then my mama needed therapy, so there go my last
Then the well ran dry, then I needed help
Surprise, nobody's there
Nobody's left, just me and myself
Take a look at my watch, it said, "It's time to reflect"
Then the girl I was with chose to exit stage left
I mean, ain't no money left, what the fuck I expect?
Oh, silly me, I asked my mama for help
She said I should've done a better job at managing wealth
Now, to get to where I am, I can't regret where I've been
I took a look at my bank account and said, "Never again"
Not this nigga
Them times I'm never gon' forget, nigga
Time I start thinking like a rich nigga
Don't look at me, I don't got shit to give you
You on your ass, I don't know what to tell you
I got some money and ain't know no better
Your ass, I don't know what to tell you
I got some money and ain't know no better

But ignorance is bliss, nigga
Ignorance is bliss
I said, I ignorance is bliss, nigga
And long live Pif (DT da Kidd)
