2 Pac – Changes
Albüm Adı : Greatest Hits
I see no changes
I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth living or should I blast myself
I’m tired of being poor and even worse I’m black
my stomach hurts so I’m looking for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull a trigger kill a nigga he’s a hero
Givin’ crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
worship dope let’em deal the brotha’s
give’em guns step back watch them kill each other
It’s time to fight back that’s what Hewie said
2 shots in the dark now Hewie’s dead
I got love for my brotha
But we could never go nowhere unless we share with each other
we gotta start making changes
learn to see me as a brotha instead of 2 distant strangers
and that’s how it’s supposed to be
how can anotha’ take a brotha’ if he’s close to me
I love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed-that’s the way it is
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Oh yeah
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Oh yeah
I see no changes
All I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes discrased the 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 are 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 other
and I know it seems evident we aint ready
to see a black president
it aint a secret don’t conceal the facts up penetentery back
and it’s filled with blacks
but some things will never change
try to show another way, but you’re staying in the dope game
now tell me what’s a mother to do
being real to the deal to the brotha in you
you gotta operate the easy way
“I made a G today”
but you made it in a sleezy way
selling crack to the kids
“I gotta get paid”
well hey
well that’s the way it is
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Oh yeah
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Oh yeah
we gotta make a change
it’s time for us as a people to start making 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 brotha get a little peace, it’s war in the
streets and the war in the middle east
instead of war on the poverty, they got a war
on drugs so the police can bother me
and I aint never did a crime I aint had to do
but now I’m back with the facts giving it back to you
don’t let them jack you up, back you up, crack you up,
and pimp slap you up
you gotta learn to hold your own
they gettin’ jealous when they see you with your 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 2
but they say it and cool
and my momma didn’t raise no fool
and as long as I stay black
I gotta stay strapped
and I never get to lay back
cause I always gotta worry about the payback
something rough that I roughed up way back
coming back after all those years
ratta tat tat tat tat
that’s the way it is
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Oh yeah
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Oh yeah
