Changes
-1-
[00:15]Come on come on
[00:16]I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
[00:18]is life worth living should I blast myself?
[00:21]I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
[00:23]my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
[00:25]Cops give a damn about a negro
[00:27]pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
[00:30]Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
[00:32]one less ugly mouth on the welfare
[00:33]First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
[00:36]give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
[00:38]It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
[00:40]2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
[00:43]I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
[00:45]unless we share with each other
[00:47]We gotta start makin' changes
[00:48]learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
[00:51]and that's how it's supposed to be
[00:53]How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
[00:55]I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
[00:58]but things changed, and that's the way it is
Bridge w/ changing ad libs

[04:12][03:55][02:38][02:20][01:20][01:02]That's just the way it is
[04:17][03:59][02:41][02:24][01:23][01:04]Things'll never be the same
[04:21][04:04][02:46][02:28][01:28][01:10]That's just the way it is

[01:34]I see no changes all I see is racist faces
[01:35]misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
[01:38]We under I wonder what it takes to make this
[01:41]one better place, let's erase the wasted
[01:43]Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
[01:45]'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
[01:48]and only time we chill is when we kill each other
[01:49]it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
[01:52]And although it seems heaven sent
[01:53]We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
[01:55]It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
[01:58]the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
[02:00]But some things will never change
[02:02]try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
[02:04]Now tell me what's a mother to do
[02:06]bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
[02:09]You gotta operate the easy way
[02:10]"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
[02:13]sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
[02:15]Well hey, well that's the way it is

Talking:
[02:52]We gotta make a change...
[02:55]It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
[02:57]Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
[03:01]and let's change the way we treat each other.
[03:03]You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
[03:06]what we gotta do, to survive.

[03:09]And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
[03:11]It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
[03:14]Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
[03:16]so the police can bother me
[03:18]And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
[03:21]But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
[03:22]Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
[03:25]crack you up and pimp slap you up
[03:27]You gotta learn to hold ya own
[03:28]they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
[03:31]But tell the cops they can't touch this
[03:33]I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
[03:35]That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
[03:37]my mama didn't raise no fool
[03:40]And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
[03:42]& I never get to lay back
[03:46]'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
[03:48]some buck that I roughed up way back
[03:50]comin' back after all these years
[03:52]rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh
