Karaoké Changes 2Pac

Come on, come on

I see no changes

Wake up in the mornin' and I ask myself

Is life worth livin'?

Should I blast myself?

I'm tired o' bein' poor an' even worse I'm black

My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' fo' a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a negro

Pull the trigger kill a nigger 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 let 'em deal to 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

I got love for my brothers but we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other

We gotta start makin' changes

Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of two distant strangers

And that's how it's s'posed 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 change that's the way it is

Come on, come on

Change

That's the way it is

Hear me, 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

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

'Cos both black and white are smokin' crack tonight

And the 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 they 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 kids

I gotta get paid

Well hey that's the way it is

Come on, come on

Change

That's the way it is

Hear me come on, come on, come on

Change

That's the way it is

You 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 workin' so it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive

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

There's war on the streets and the 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 pimp slap you up

You gotta learn to hold your own

They get jealous when they see you 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

'Cos I always gotta worry 'bout the pay back

Some buck that I ruffed up way back

Comin' back after all these years

Rat a tat tat tat that's the way it is

Way it is, yeah talk 'bout with these people

We're so changing we so changing, we so change

Try make a change

Uh, change, change yeah, change, change some things never change

Change, change

Change, change

Some things never change
