Come on come on
I see no changes wake
up in the morning and I ask myself
is life
worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired
of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
my
stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to
snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull
the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Give the
crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less
hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em
dope & let 'em deal to brothers
give 'em guns
step back watch 'em kill each other
It's time
to fight back that's what Huey said
2 shots in
the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my
brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we
share with each other
We gotta start makin'
changes
learn to see me as a brother instead
of 2 distant strangers
and that's how it's
supposed to be
How can the Devil take a
brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go
back to when we played as kids
but things
changed, that's the way it is
Bridge w/
changing ad libs
Come on come on
That's
just the way it is
Things'll never be the
same
That's just the way it is
aww
yeah
Repeat

I see no changes all I
see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes
disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it
takes to make this
one better place, let's
erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people
they'll be acting right
'cause both black and
white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time
we chill is when we kill each other
it takes
skill to be real, time to heal each other
And
although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready,
to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a
secret don't conceal the fact
the
penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with
blacks
But some things will never
change
try to show another way but you stayin'
in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to
do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in
you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made
a G today" But you made it in a sleazy
way
sellin' crack to the kids. "I gotta get
paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it
is
Bridge
Talking:
We gotta make a
change...
It's time for us as a people to
start makin' some changes.
Let's change the
way we eat, let's change the way we live
and
let's change the way we treat each other.
You
see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to
do
what we gotta do, to survive.

And
still I see no changes can't a brother get a
little peace
It's more on the streets than war
in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty
they got a war on drugs
so the police can
bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I
ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the
facts givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack
you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp
smack you up
You gotta learn to hold ya
own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya
mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't
touch this
I don't trust this when they try to
rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool
you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no
fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay
strapped
& I never get to lay back
'Cause I
always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some
punk that I roughed up way back
comin' back
after all these years
rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat
that's the way it is uhh
Bridge 'til
fade
Some things will never change
