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 2x
