It's supposed to be about our families |
| [00:28.67] |
It's supposed to be about avoiding catastrophe |
| [00:31.44] |

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 |

A Hip hop guild we got to begin buildin' 'em |
| [01:31.55] |

| [01:34.07] |
And the fact that we tolerate that crap is insanity |
| [01:36.07] |
It's supposed to be museums and archives |
| [01:39.04] |
Where people can see the importance of our lives |

| [01:48.88] |
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] |
Go ahead-be a hero, get your cheddar |

Today you will start, that's how it's supposed to be |
| [02:31.13] |
