2Pac, Talent - Changes (Greatest Hits Version)(2007)

[00:15.29] Come on, come on
[00:16.14] I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself
[00:18.81] Is life worth living, should I blast myself?
[00:21.19] I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black
[00:23.25] My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
[00:25.42] Cops give a damn about a negro
[00:27.42] Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero
[00:29.74] Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
[00:31.88] One less hungry mouth on the welfare
[00:33.95] First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers
[00:36.18] Give 'em guns, step back, watch 'em kill each other
[00:38.25] It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
[00:40.54] Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead
[00:42.79] I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
[00:45.29] Unless we share with each other
[00:46.95] We gotta start makin' changes
[00:48.64] Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers
[00:51.31] And that's how it's supposed to be
[00:52.93] How can the devil take a brother, if he's close to me?
[00:55.26] I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
[00:57.85] But things changed, that's the way it is
[01:00.55] Come on, come on, that's just the way it is
[01:03.55]
[01:06.10] Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is
[01:08.76]
[01:13.96] Aww, yeah
[01:16.40] Come on, come on, that's just the way it is
[01:19.75]
[01:23.09] Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is
[01:26.53]
[01:31.16] Aww, yeah
[01:33.78] I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
[01:36.37] Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
[01:38.52] We under, I wonder what it takes to make this
[01:40.62] One better place, let's erase the wasted
[01:42.87] Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
[01:45.26] 'Cause mo' black and white is smokin' crack tonight
[01:47.44] And only time we chill is when we kill each other
[01:49.56] It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
[01:51.61] And although it seems heaven sent
[01:53.46] We ain't ready, to see a black President
[01:55.78] It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
[01:57.76] The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
[02:00.45] But some things will never change
[02:02.13] Try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
[02:04.74] Now tell me, what's a mother to do?
[02:06.50] Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
[02:08.78] You gotta operate the easy way
[02:10.64] I made a G today, but you made it in a sleazy way
[02:13.29] Sellin' crack to the kid, I gotta get paid
[02:15.73] Well hey, well, that's the way it is
[02:17.98] Come on, come on, that's just the way it is
[02:23.01] Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is
[02:26.22]
[02:31.86] Aww, yeah
[02:34.75] Come on, come on, that's just the way it is
[02:37.75]
[02:41.26] Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is
[02:44.26]
[02:48.92] Aww, yeah
[02:51.75] We gotta make a change
[02:54.13] It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes
[02:57.32] Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
[03:00.84] And let's change the way we treat each other
[03:03.20] You see, the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
[03:06.50] What we gotta do, to survivem
[03:08.61] And still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace?
[03:11.32] There's war in the streets and war in the Middle East
[03:13.83] Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs
[03:16.39] So the police can bother me
[03:18.18] And I ain't never did a crime, I ain't have to do
[03:20.47] But now, I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you
[03:22.45] Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up
[03:25.00] Crack you up and pimps smack you up
[03:26.93] You gotta learn to hold ya own
[03:28.64] They get jealous when they see ya, with ya mobile phone
[03:30.96] But tell the cops, they can't touch this
[03:32.79] I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this
[03:35.48] That's the sound of my tool, you say it ain't cool?
[03:37.60] My mama didn't raise no fool
[03:39.99] And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped
[03:42.66] And I never get to lay back
[03:44.24] 'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
[03:46.39] Some buck that I roughed up way back
[03:48.59] Comin' back after all these years
[03:50.23] Rat-a-tat, tat, tat, tat, that's the way it is
[03:54.20] That's just the way it is
[03:59.06] Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is
[04:02.17]
[04:06.79] Aww, yeah
[04:09.02]
[04:12.27] That's just the way it is
[04:16.60] Things will never be the same, that's just the way it is
[04:18.81]
[04:24.24] Aww, yeah
[04:26.00] Some things will never change
[04:26.36]
