2 Pac

<em>[1]<br />Come on come on<br />I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself<br />is life worth living should I blast myself?<br />I'm tired of bein' poor &amp; even worse I'm black<br />my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch<br />Cops give a damn about a negro<br />pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero<br />Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares<br />one less hungry mouth on the welfare<br />First ship 'em dope &amp; let 'em deal the brothers<br />give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other<br />It's time to fight back that's what Huey said<br />2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead<br />I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere<br />unless we share with each other<br />We gotta start makin' changes <br />learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers<br />and that's how it's supposed to be<br />How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?<br />I'd love to go back to when we played as kids<br />but things changed, and that's the way it is<br /><br /><em>[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]<br />Come on come on<br />That's just the way it is<br />Things'll never be the same<br />That's just the way it is<br />aww yeah<br /><em>[Repeat]<br /><br /><em>[2]<br />I see no changes all I see is racist faces<br />misplaced hate makes disgrace to races<br />We under I wonder what it takes to make this <br />one better place, let's erase the wasted<br />Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right<br />'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight<br />and only time we chill is when we kill each other<br />it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other<br />And although it seems heaven sent<br />We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh<br />It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact<br />the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks<br />But some things will never change<br />try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game<br />Now tell me what's a mother to do<br />bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you<br />You gotta operate the easy way<br />&quot;I made a G today&quot; But you made it in a sleazy way<br />sellin' crack to the kid. &quot; I gotta get paid,&quot;<br />Well hey, well that's the way it is<br /><br /><em>[Bridge]<br /><br /><em>[Talking:]<br />We gotta make a change...<br />It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.<br />Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live<br />and let's change the way we treat each other.<br />You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do<br />what we gotta do, to survive.<br /><br /><em>[3]<br />And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace<br />It's war on the streets &amp; the war in the Middle East<br />Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs<br />so the police can bother me<br />And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do<br />But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you<br />Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,<br />crack you up and pimp slap you up<br />You gotta learn to hold ya own<br />they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone<br />But tell the cops they can't touch this<br />I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this<br />That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool<br />my mama didn't raise no fool<br />And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped<br />&amp; I never get to lay back<br />'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs<br />some buck that I roughed up way back<br />comin' back after all these years<br />rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh<br /><br /><em>[Bridge 'til fade]
