Come on on I see no wake up in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth living should I blast I'm tired of bein' and even worse I'm black My hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch Cops give a damn a negro Pull the trigger a nigga he's a hero Give the to the kids who the hell cares One hungry mouth on the welfare First ship 'em and let 'em deal the brothers Give 'em guns step back watch 'em each other It's time to fight back that's what said Two shots in the dark now dead I got love for my brother but we can never go Unless we with each other We gotta makin' changes to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers And that's how it's to be How can the Devil a brother if he's close to me? I'd to go back to when we played as kids But things changed, and the way it is
x2] That's the way it is will never be the same That's the way it is Aww
I see no changes all I see is faces hate makes disgrace to races We under I what it takes to make this One better place, let's the wasted Take the evil out the people they'll be right 'Cause black and white is smokin' crack tonight And only time we chill is we kill each other It takes skill to be real, time to each other And although it heaven sent We ready, to see a black President, uhh It ain't a don't conceal the fact The penitentiary's packed, and filled with blacks But some things will never Try to show another way but you stayin' in the game Now me what's a mother to do Bein' real don't to the brother in you You gotta operate the way "I made a G today" But you it in a sleazy way Sellin' to the kid. " I gotta get paid," Well hey, that's the way it is
x2]
We make a change It's for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we eat, change the way we live And let's the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn't working so on us to do we gotta do, to survive.
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle Instead of war on they got a war on drugs So the can bother me And I never did a crime I ain't have to do But now I'm back with the givin' it back to you Don't let 'em jack you up, you up, you up and pimp smack you up You learn to hold ya own They get when they see ya with ya mobile phone But tell the they can't touch this I don't trust this when try to rush I bust this That's the of my tool you say it ain't cool My didn't raise no fool And as long as I stay black I gotta strapped And I get to lay back 'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay Some buck that I roughed up way Comin' back all these years Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat the way it is uhh

Some will never change
