4
(1st Verse)
5
I see no changes
6
I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
7
Is life worth livin' should I blast myself?
8
I'm tired of bein poor and even worse I'm black
9
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
10
Cops give a damn about a Negro
11
Pull the trigga, kill a nigga, he's a hero
12
Sell the crack the the kids, who the hell cares?
13
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
14
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothas
15
Give 'em guns, step back and watch 'em kill each other
16
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
17
Two shots in the dark now Huey's dead
18
I got love for my brotha, but we can never go nowhere
19
Unless we share wit each other
20
We gotta start makin' changes
21
Learn to see me as a brotha instead-a two distant strangers
22
And that's how it's 'pose to be
23
How can the Devil take a brotha if he's close to me?
24
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids, but things change
25
And that's the way it is.
26
(chorus)
27
thats just the way it is
28
things will never be the same
29
thats just the ways it is
30
aaw yeah
31
thats just the way it is
32
things will never be the same
33
thats just the ways it is
34
aaw yeah

(2nd Verse)
37
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
38
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
39
We under, I wonder what it takes to make this
40
One better place, let's erase the wasted
41
Take the evil out the people they'll be actin right
42
'Cuz both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
43
And the only time we chill is when we kill each otha
44
It takes skill to be real time to heal each other
45
And I know it seems heaven sent
46
We aint ready to see a black presidant, unh
47
it aint a secret don't conceal the facts, the penitentiaries packed
48
And it's filled with blacks
49
But some things will never change
50
Ya try to show anotha way but ya stayin in the dope game
51
Now tell me what's a motha to do
52
Bein' real don't appeal to the brotha in you
53
You gotta operate the easy way
54
"I made a G today," , but you made it in a sleezy way
55
Sellin crack to the kids, "I gotta get paid"
56
Well hey, well thats the way it is
57
Come on, come on
58
(chorus)
59
thats just the way it is
60
things will never be the same
61
thats just the ways it is
62

63
thats just the way it is
64
things will never be the same
65
thats just the ways it is
66
aaw yeah

2x
68
(Talking)
69
You gotta make a change
70
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes
71
Let's change the way we eat let's change the way we live
72
And let's change the way we treat each other
73
You see the old way wan'ts workin, so its on us to do what we gotta do, to survive
74
(3rd Verse)
75
And still I see no changes
76
Can't a brotha get a little peace
77
There's war on the streets and war on the Middle east
78
Instead of a war on poverty,
79
They got a war on drugs so the police can bother me
80
And I ain't never did a crime i aint have to do
81
But now I'm back with the facts givin' it back to you
82
So don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up, and pimp smack you up
83
Ya gotta learn to hold ya own
84
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
85
But tell the cops they can't touch this
86
I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this
87
It's the sound on my tool, you it ain't cool
88
My mama didn't raise no fool
89
And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped and i never get to lay back
90
'Cuz I always gotta worry bout the payback
91
Of some ruff that i ruffed up way back
92
Comin back after all these years
93
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat
94
That's the way its is
95
(chorus)
96
thats just the way it is
97
things will never be the same
98
thats just the ways it is
99
aaw yeah
100
thats just the way it is (you're my brotha your my sister, yeah)
101
things will never be the same(neva be the same yeah, yeah aaw yeah)
