Ignorance is bliss they say, I never found it When I was being put down And they were shouting at me like "You'll never rise up, you're nothing, ain't worth the time" And it only gave me another excuse to rap and to rhyme Expressing my feelings just to get it off my chest While at the same time writing lines simply to be my best, it's a test And so far I've been passing, they said I can't do it But watch as I sonic speed right on through it I'll defeat the Doctor Eggman and chill with my bud Tails While you sitting in the corner pointing out all my fails But I don't care, it's behind, another lesson learnt So that I progress easier and don't be so badly hurt I like to help others, a saint some would say A blessing disguised as a kid you see everyday But keyword is disguised, every man has his demons They can be so bad that ol' skull-face takes to reapin' But I haven't fallen yet, I still stand tall On the hill, helpless just watching it all burn I know I'm not liked, by many and still don't care As long as I live happily then I ain't gonna be snared By the concept that the best must have a good reputation But solitude for some is the key to salvation Why would you want to fit in with people that you don't like? And when they try to conform you, tell em to take a hike
