Echo Blaze - Ivory Tower Lyrics



Echo Blaze - Ivory Tower Lyrics




[Intro]
Sitting in these hallowed halls, feeling like a fraud
While algorithms trade and lecture rooms applaud
Caught between two worlds, ain't that some shit
Harvard yard to hardware, trying to make it fit

[Verse 1]
Trust fund kids talking crypto on their MacBooks
While my people back home still working off old playbooks
Ivory tower got me feeling like a sellout
But I'm here to infiltrate, yeah, that's what it's about
Classmates flipping NFTs between their classes
While my cousin's hustling Wi-Fi from the masses
They call it privilege, I call it ammunition
Loading up knowledge like digital ammunition

[Chorus]
Ivory tower, power hour
Looking down from way up here, everything looks sour
Ivory tower, midnight hour
Trying to bridge the digital divide, while they devour

[Verse 2]
My homie Jerome turned code into his escape
While these trust fund babies treat life like a landscape
They debate theory, we're living through the practice
My people turn smartphones into gold, that's mathematics
Professor talking 'bout disruption like it's abstract
While we've been disrupted since the day we came back
Yeah, I'm in these halls but I ain't drinking Kool-Aid
Using education like a loaded trade

[Bridge]
Stuck between the streets and these elite seats
Digital warfare on these ivy-covered streets
They think they know the game, but we invented new rules
Trading knowledge like currency, we ain't nobody's fools

[Verse 3]
Every lecture got me thinking 'bout my cousins
How they hustle online while these kids talk discussions
Yeah, I got the access, but I ain't forgot
Where I came from, who I am, and what we got
Academic privilege like a golden cage
While my people turn their phones into minimum wage
But we're hacking through their systems day by day
Digital mobility's the only way

[Outro]
Ivory tower, yeah, I see you clear
Using your own game to get my people here
Knowledge is power, that's what they say
But wisdom comes from streets, that's where I'ma stay
