[00:26.26] |
It's supposed to be about our families |
[00:28.67] |
It's supposed to be about avoiding catastrophe |
[00:31.44] |
But it's all about salary and flattery |
[00:33.92] |
Distrust, lust, hate and tragedy |
[00:36.27] |
It's supposed to be about you and me on the same route |
[00:38.98] |
Were you there in eighty-six when |
[00:40.49] |
I first came out? |
[00:41.47] |
And you know about how they runnin' this game out |
[00:43.64] |
It's supposed to be about fun and getting' the pain out |
[00:46.36] |

[00:48.97] |
Instead of forgiveness, we poppin' they brains out |
[00:51.48] |
It's supposed to be about seekin' in the seek out |
[00:54.03] |
You witnessin' injustice, you got to speak out |
[00:56.44] |
If you claimin' you love this, you got to release doubt |
[00:58.96] |
Knowledge is what |

[01:25.78] |
It's supposed to be a two dollar royalty minimum |
[01:29.19] |
A Hip hop guild we got to begin buildin' 'em |
[01:31.55] |
It's supposed to be no police brutality |
[01:34.07] |
And the fact that we tolerate that crap is insanity |
[01:36.07] |
It's supposed to be museums and archives |

Where people can see the importance of our lives |
[01:41.20] |

KrisHigher consciousness lyrics, they will persist |
[01:51.29] |
But it's supposed to be about makin' it better |
[01:53.45] |
You see, Hip hop's not a product like pants or sweater |
[01:55.96] |
