Changes Lyrics

ooh, yeeeaaa, ooh
cmon, cmon

i see no changes
wake up in tha mornin
and i ask myself
is life worth livin or should i blast myself?
im tired of
bein poor, and even worse, im black, my stomach hurts
so im lookin for a
purse to snatch
cops give a damn about a negro
pull tha trigga, kill a
nigga hes a hero
give tha crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less
ugly mouth on the welfare
first ship em dope, that im dealin bruthas
give
em guns step back watch em kill each other
its time to fight back thats what
huey said
2 shots in the dark now hueys dead
i got love for my brutha but
we could neva go nowhere
unless we share wit each otha
we gotta start
makin changes
learn to see me as a brutha instead of 2 distant
strangas
and thats how its sposed to be
how could the devil take a brutha
if hes close to me
uh, i'd love to go back to when we played as kids
but
thangs changed
and thats the way it is

Chorus
cmon, cmon
thats
just the way it is
thangs will never be tha same
thats just the way it
is
aw yeah
and yeah
oh my, oh my
thats just the way it is
thangs
will never be tha same, neva be tha same yea yea yea
aw yea, thats just the
way it is
aw yea

i see no changes
all i see is racist
faces
misplaced hate
makes disgrace to races
we unda
i wunda wut it
takes to make this
one betta place lets erase tha wasted
take the evil out
the people theyll be actin right
cuz both black and white
is smokin crack
tonight
and the only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes
skill to be real time to heal each otha
and even though it seems heaven
sent
we aint ready to see a black president, uh
it aint a secret dont
conceale
the factor
penitenturys packed
and its filled with
blacks
but some thangs will neva change
try ta show anutha way
but ya
stayin in tha dope game
now tell me whats a mutha to do
Bein real dont
appeal to the brutha in you
You gotta operate the easy way
I made a G
today
But ya made it in a sleazy way
Sellin crack to the kids
I gotta
get paid
Well hey well thats the way it is

Chorus
Cmon
cmon
Thats just the way it is
Thangs will neva be the same
Thats just
the way it is
aw yea
and yeah
Oh my, oh my
Thats just the way it
is
Thangs will neva be tha same, neva be tha same yea yea yea
Thats just
the way it is
Aw yea

You gotta make a change
It's time for us, the
people to start makin some changes
Lets change the way we eat
Lets change
the way we live
And lets change the way we treat each other
You see the
old way wasnt workin so its on us
To do what we gotta do to
survive

And still i see no changes
Cant a brutha get a little
peace
Its war on the streets and its war in the middle east
Instead of
way of poverty
They got a war on drugs
So the police cant botha me
And
i aint neva did a crime i aint hafta do
But now back wit tha glacks, givin it
back to you
Don't betta jack you up, back you up, crack you up
Or pimp
slack you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
They get jealous  when they
see ya with ya mobile phone
Well tell tha cops cant touch this
I dont
trust this
When they try ta rush i bust this
Thats the sound Ima
do
You say it aitn coo
My mama didnt raise no fool
And as long as i
stay black
I gotta stay strapped
And i neva get ta lay back
Cuz i
always gotta worry bout tha payback
Some bucked
In a ruffed up way
back
Come back afta long even years
Rat tat tat tat tat
Thats the way
it is

Thats just the way  it is
Thangs will neva be tha same
Thats
just the way it is
aw yeah
You my brutha your my sista
Thats just the
way it is
Thangs will neva be tha same
Thats just the way it is
aw
yeah
Some things will neva change
