Fucked Up

[KRS-One:]

YEAH! YEAH!

C'mon...

Let me tell you cats {get what I'm sayin}

[Chorus:]

Snitchin and squealin and the underhand dealin

That's how you get fucked up!!

Robbin and stealin like you ain't got feelings

That's how you get fucked up!!

Gettin head in the bed with another man's wife

That's how you get fucked up!!

You better always think twice how you're livin your life

That's how you get fucked up!!

[KRS-One:]

People walk around just, in a daze and oblivious

To them demons that live in us

Who can you really trust

Is it them demons that got us schemin or is it really us?

People really fuss, and them guns really bust

Brothers dyin over silly stuff

Them streets can get really tough

They ain't playin man, you better {get what I'm sayin}

[Chorus:]

When you can't forgive and all you spit is negative

That's how you get fucked up!!

When you're dissin your elders and cheatin your relatives

That's how you get fucked up!!

Messin with a man's crib, kids or wife

That's how you get fucked up!!

You better think twice how you're livin your life, cause

That's how you get fucked up!!

[KRS-One:]

Yo, I'm a true school cat, just a cool cool cat

Got security tellin these people to move back

I got two new tracks, somethin new from DAT's

Tunnel Rats with Proper and Triune in the back

I don't move with a pack, I move membership

Hip-Hop we livin it and what I'm doin is rap

But cats wanna talk that crap

'Til they see that I'm not playin, you better {get what I'm sayin}

Everyday more betrayin, more lyin, and from friends

More crime and more revenge - HUSH

Things are really rough; cause there's really no one out there

that I doubt that you can really trust

Them guns bust - how many hustlers gotta die

go to jail for a fiend to get a rush?

From ashes to dust, that man of lust

is decayin, you better {get what I'm sayin}

[Chorus:]

Talkin that crap behind another man's back

That's how you get fucked up!!

Spittin gossip and scandal and don't have facts

That's how you get fucked up!!

Bein caught in the hype, flashin off your ice

That's how you get fucked up!!

You better always think twice how you're livin your life cause

That's how you get fucked up!!

[KRS-One:]

I'ma close it out, cause all my foes they doubt

I'm rollin out, they know what I'm all about

I don't roam about, I appear and shout

I wear 'em out, then we clear 'em out

I steer the route to where the end be at

Where the peace, where the love, where my friends be at

Where the jealous ones envy that

And they start betrayin, that's right you better {get what I'm sayin}

[Chorus:]

If you schemin a lot on what another man's got

That's how you get fucked up!!

Dreamin up a plot for another man's spot

That's how you get fucked up!!

If you live by the knife then you die by the knife

That's how you get fucked up!!

You better always think twice how you're livin your life cause

That's how you get fucked up!!

Flashin what you got cause you think it's cool

That's how you get fucked up!!

You better watch yourself cause when you ACT A FOOL

That's how you get fucked up!!

When you act like you better, treatin men like mice

That's how you get fucked up!!

You better always think twice how you're livin your life cause

That's how you get fucked up!! {get what I'm sayin}

.. {get what I'm sayin}
