Come on come on
3
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
4
is life worth living should I blast myself?
5
I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black
6
my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
7
Cops give a damn about a negro
8
pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
9
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
10
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
11
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers
12
give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
13
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
14
2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
15
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
16
unless we share with each other
17
We gotta start makin' changes
18
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
19
and that's how it's supposed to be
20
How can the devil take a brother if he's close to me?
21
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
22
but things change, and that's the way it is
23
Chorus:
24
That's just the way it is
25
Things'll never be the same
26
That's just the way it is
27
aww yeah
28
(Repeat)
29

30
I see no changes all I see is racist faces
31
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
32
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
33
one better place, let's erase the wasted
34
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
35
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
36
and the only time we chill is when we kill each other
37
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
38
And although it seems heaven sent
39
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
40
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
41
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
42
But some things will never change
43
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
44
Now tell me what's a mother to do
45
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
46
You gotta operate the easy way
47
I made a G today But you made it in a sleazy way
48
sellin' crack to the kids. I gotta get paid,
49
Well hey, that's the way it is
50
Chorus:
51
That's just the way it is
52
Things'll never be the same
53
That's just the way it is
54
aww yeah
55
(Repeat)
56
Talking:
57
We gotta make a change...
58
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
59
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
60
and let's change the way we treat each other.
61
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
62
what we gotta do, to survive.
63
-3-
64
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
65
It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East
66
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
67
so the police can bother me
68
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
69
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
70
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
71
crack you up and pimp smack you up
72
You gotta learn to hold ya own
73
~they get~ jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
74
But tell the cops they can't touch this
75
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
76
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
77
my mama didn't raise no fool
78
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
79
and I never get to lay back
80
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
81
some buck that I roughed up way back
82
comin' back after all these years
83
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh
84
Chorus:
85
That's just the way it is
86
Things'll never be the same
87
That's just the way it is
88
aww yeah
89
You're my brother, you're my sister
90
That's just the way it is (way it is,way it is)
91
Things will never be the same
92
You're my brother, you're my sister
93
That's the way it is
94
Aww yeah
95
Some things will never change
