oohhhhh
yeh
come on come on
(1st Verse)
I see no changes
I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth livin' should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein poor and 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 trigga, kill a nigga, he's a hero
Sell the crack the the kids, who the hell cares?
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothas
Give 'em guns, step back and watch 'em kill each other
It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
Two shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brotha, but we can never go nowhere
Unless we share wit each other
We gotta start makin' changes
Learn to see me as a brotha instead-a two distant strangers
And that's how it's 'pose to be
How can the Devil take a brotha if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids, but things change
And that's the way it is.
(chorus)
thats just the way it is
things will never be the same
thats just the ways it is
aaw yeah
thats just the way it is
things will never be the same
thats just the ways it is
aaw yeah
