It's Supposed to Be

“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.”
- Krs-One “Ain’t the Same” from the album “Kristyles”

This is the first verse of an amazing song. Krs-One is a legend in hip-hop. He really teaches people about the culture and the positive aspects of the culture. This song has quite a few powerful messages in it. I will be posting verse two up here in the near future as well.
