Текст (слова) песни: KRS-One - Ain`t the Same

 
[KRS] 
You know it`s Kris! 
 
[Chorus] 
It ain`t the same now (it ain`t the same) 
They switched the game now (they switched up on us) 
They talk `bout chains now (bling bling) 
Rims on the Range now 
It`s sounding plain now 
Y`all rock the same style (sound of the mic) 
I know the way how (I know) 
Bring it back to one 
It`s supposed to be... 
 
[KRS] 
This is the way it`s supposed to be 
It`s supposed to be like you more close to me 
It`s supposed to be about our families 
It`s supposed to be about avoiding catastrophe 
But it`s all about salary and flattery 
Distrust, lust, hate and tragedy 
It`s supposed to be about you and me on the same route 
Were you there in eighty-six when I first came out? 
And you know about how they runnin` this game out 
It`s supposed to be about fun and getting` the pain out 
But it`s all about clout and poppin` them chains out 
Instead of forgiveness, we poppin` they brains out 
It`s supposed to be about seekin` in the seek out 
You witnessin` injustice, you got to speak out 
If you claimin` you love this, you got to release doubt 
Knowledge is what I`m all about 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[KRS] 
Well it`s supposed to be sunlight over me 
Light over you, not you runnin` over me 
It`s supposed to be a two dollar royalty minimum 
A Hiphop guild—we got to begin buildin` `em 
It`s supposed to be NO police brutality 
And the fact that we tolerate that crap is insanity 
It`s supposed to be museums and archives 
Where people can see the importance of OUR lives 
But it ain`t about any of this 
Cats are trying to get that diamond-studded Rolex on they wrist 
You hear a voice in the wilderness—you know it`s Kris 
Higher consciousness lyrics, they will persist 
But it`s supposed to be about makin` it better 
You see, Hiphop`s not a product like pants or sweater 
Go ahead—be a hero, get your cheddar 
Even y`all gonna see when you look back you remember that 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[KRS] 
You can see in your heart how it`s supposed to be 
You doin` your part, THAT`S how it`s supposed to be 
Pursuin` your art, THAT`S how it`s supposed to be 
Today you will start, THAT`S how it`s supposed to be 
It shouldn`t be about you movin` slowly 
Then talkin` junk when you don`t even know me 
And you cats be pussy like Josie 
I +Touch+ "50 MC`s" like +Tony+ 
Everybody in the hood ain`t your homie 
I spit the truth, but I`m not the only 
There`s plenty 
K-R-S-O-N-E 
 
[Chorus]
