Changes Lyrics - 2pac- Greatest Hits - 2pac

Come on, come on 

I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself 

Is life worth living, 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 trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero 

Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares 

One less hungry mouth on the welfare 

First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers 

Give 'em guns, step back, 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

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere 

Unless we share with each other 

We gotta start makin' changes 

Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers 

And that's how it's supposed to be 

How can the devil take a brother, if he's close to me? 

I'd love to go back to when we played as kids 

But things changed, that's the way it is 

Come on, come on, that's just the way it is 

Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is 

Aww, yeah 

Come on, come on, that's just the way it is 

Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is 

Aww, yeah 

I see no changes, all I see is racist faces 

Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races 

We under, I wonder what it takes to make this 

One better place, let's erase the wasted 

Photos 

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right 

'Cause mo' black and white is smokin' crack tonight 

And only time we chill is when we kill each other 

It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other 

And although it seems heaven sent 

We ain't ready, to see a black President 

It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact 

The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks 

But some things will never change 

Try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game 

Now tell me, what's a mother to do? 

Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you 

You gotta operate the easy way 

I made a G today, but you made it in a sleazy way 

Sellin' crack to the kid, I gotta get paid 

Well hey, well, that's the way it is 

Come on, come on, that's just the way it is 

Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is 

Aww, yeah 

Come on, come on, that's just the way it is 

Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is 

Aww, yeah 

We gotta make a change 

It's time for us as a people to start makin' 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 survivem 

And still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace? 

There's war in the streets and war in the Middle East 

Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs 

So the police can bother me 

And I ain't never did a crime, I ain't have to do 

But now, I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you 

Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up 

Crack you up and pimps smack you up 

You gotta learn to hold ya own 

They get jealous when they see ya, with ya 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 tool, you say it ain't cool? 

My mama 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 got to worry 'bout the pay backs 

Some buck that I roughed up way back 

Comin' back after all these years 

Rat-a-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 

Aww, yeah 

That's just the way it is 

Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is 

Aww, yeah 

Some things will never change
