lyrics

Fresh off another college debate
Where one of these failing scholars used their knowledge to bait
Another group who had the opposite taste and got em irate
In the mood to shoot down compliments get all in your face
I mean I used to be that guy when I was a kid
Loved sciences, decided it was right what I would insist
Write up a script based on what I’ve read, decide it’s the shit
A nihilist before my time would have provided the itch
But now I see the world from out the eyes of a fish
A wider grip, less violence has e-migrated to fringe
And now the center of attention’s occupying the lens
While the minds taking the time have struggles climbing up in
It’s wrong, and what’s accepted is designing of spin
A lot of thoughts come from deciding to vibe with a clique
But leave some time for your eyelids to click and see inside
Your mind and you will find what you’ll apply as a crypt, because…

The more you know, the more you know
The more you don’t know what you know, what you know is
The more you know, the more you know
The more you know that you don’t know, and you don’t know that
The more you know, the more you know
The more you know that you gotta know right, riiiiiiight
But that don’t mean that it’ll be tonight

And you don’t know! You don’t know a damn thing!
And you don’t know, you don’t what’s real!
But we don’t know, we don’t know what we do know!
All that we know, is what we feel.

Used to have a big affinity for history
Until it hit in me that it was written by the winning team
Meaning only one side was getting all the sympathy
So reinvestigate it ‘fore you take those sources literally
Cyclically the reading I would do turned into cynically
Sneering at the pages recognizing inconsistencies
In the class, we’d learn twisted facts and sit around
So I’ll dedicate those years of fuck you to Little, Brown
Paid no heed to school, I was raised in the dirty south
Main things I should, I would take in like Kirby’s mouth
And not Puckett, we’re getting off the subject
Although we’re really not cuz we would argue over lunches
About something, the trends often weren’t particular
Rap music, math solutions, crap shooting, literature
Fact spewing we would always think we were right
But if the other guy was, we’d quickly change up the sides, it seems

The more you know, the more you know
The more you don’t know what you know, what you know is
The more you know, the more you know
The more you know that you don’t know, and you don’t know that
The more you know, the more you know
The more you know that you gotta know right, riiiiiiight
But that don’t mean that it’ll be tonight

And you don’t know! You don’t know a damn thing!
Cuz you don’t know, you don’t know what’s real!
But we don’t know, we don’t know what we do know!
All that we know, is what we feel.

With greater age comes a greater stupidity
You must see the place with a grain of lucidity

The more you know, the more you know
The more you don’t know what you know, what you know is
The more you know, the more you know
The more you know that you don’t know, and you don’t know that
The more you know, the more you know
The more you know that you don’t know right, riiiiiiight
But you’ll know what you need to in due time
