lirik lagu krs-one - it's all insane for me

[chorus]
it’s all insane to me
we never lived like we supposed to
now they wanna come say to me
“you should be a registered voter”
we still living in slavery
meeting the prison industrials quota
no you can’t play this game with me
i’m a bit wiser and older

[verse 1]
big car, big house, 2.5 kids
this is the way the system told us we had to live
many of us took the role, many of us paid the bid
we thought it was positive, but it turned out negative
it put us all in debt from the sweat of our relatives
so stay in school, that’s a lie, what are you telling kids?
we gotta wake up to the present reality
knowledge, that’s more than just chasing a salary
knowledge, that’s about lifetime enjoyment
the education is training for lifetime employment
they want you to work till you die
no retirement, no social security
i wonder why (uh)

[chorus]
it’s all insane to me
we never lived like we supposed to
now they wanna come say to me (c’mon)
“you should be a registered voter”
we still living in slavery (woo)
meeting the prison industrials quota
no you can’t play this game with me (ya)
i’m a bit wiser and older
[verse 2]
i dropped out of junior high school
sometime in the 80s when it was not cool
yeah i was criticized, told i was living lies
cause the hip~hop mc is what i epitomize
there was nothing for us little guys, but i ain’t worried
i walked right into the brooklyn public library
that’s where i realized they got us like fools
when the prisons are more maintained than the schools
like a thief in the night, on the run i drop jewels
they give rappers 40 acres and treat them like mules
life is mechanical, brother, i got the tools
life is like a game, my sister, i spit rules
i win battles and duels against the devil and jewels
hungry for the minds of our kids in these schools
i hope this song hits a young dropout
forget homework, learn how to work home, no doubt (uh)

[chorus]
it’s all insane to me (uh~ha)
we never lived like we supposed to (c’mon)
now they wanna come say to me
“you should be a registered voter” (c’mon)
we still living in slavery
meeting the prison industrials quota (woo)
no you can’t play this game with me
i’m a bit wiser and older
[verse 3]
they never wanted us to vote, the whole process is a joke
they leave us all with no hope
and anyone you vote for or support with cheers
you’re gonna wind up not liking them in just four years
you might have to adjust your ears for this clever rap
see it’s all about where your head is at and where you headed at
see this a better rap, we don’t need to edit that
when i say we bigger than republican and democrat
democrats supported slavery, remember that
and it was the republicans that fought to put an end to that
when black people would rise and many people resented that
after the civil war, there was the reconstruction act
the feds made a way for all blacks to start coming back
political office, blacks could now run for that
but racists couldn’t face this in public sp~ces
they felt it to be tasteless in political places
to have a black person lead america, they hated this
the governors, even the ministers, they all stated this
if you’re gonna drop out, no doubt
educate yourself, this is what it’s all about

[chorus]
it’s all insane to me
we never lived like we supposed to
now they wanna come say to me (woo)
“you should be a registered voter” (yeah)
we still living in slavery
meeting the prison industrials quota
no you can’t play this game with me (yeah)
i’m a bit wiser and older
it’s all insane to me
we never lived like we supposed to
now they wanna come say to me
“you should be a registered voter”
we still living in slavery (c’mon)
meeting the prison industrials quota (you know)
no you can’t play this game with me
i’m a bit wiser and older
