"Je sais ce que sont les bonnes mœurs mais vous êtes censé ignorer les bonnes mœurs quand vous vivez dans un monde fou et mauvais"
— Tupac Shakur

Simplified Meaning:
People usually understand the difference between what is right and wrong. However, in difficult or chaotic situations, they sometimes feel like they need to ignore their sense of right and wrong to survive or get by. Take, for instance, someone who loses their job and feels desperate. They might end up stealing food to feed their family even though they know it's wrong. This quote suggests that in a messed-up world, people might feel forced to break their own moral rules. It's like saying everyone knows they shouldn't lie, but in some tough situations, they might lie to protect themselves or someone they care about. So, in extreme circumstances, people might act against their better judgment to cope with a messed-up reality.
