Ain't The Same Lyrics - Kristyles - Krs One

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 

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] 

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] 

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 

ITouch "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]
