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?
Im tired of bein poor and even worse Im black
My stomach hurts, so Im lookin for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, hes 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
Its time to fight back thats what Huey said
Two shots in the dark, now Hueys dead

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 thats how its supposed to be
How can the devil take a brother, if hes close to me?
Id love to go back to when we played as kids
But things changed, thats the way it is

Come on, come on, thats just the way it is
Things will never be the same, thats just the way it is
Aww, yeah

Come on, come on, thats just the way it is
Things will never be the same, thats 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, lets erase the wasted

Take the evil out the people theyll 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 aint ready, to see a black President
It aint a secret dont conceal the fact
The penitentiarys packed, and its filled with blacks

But some things will never change
Try to show another way but you stayin in the dope game
Now tell me, whats a mother to do?
Bein real dont 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, thats the way it is

Come on, come on, thats just the way it is
Things will never be the same, thats just the way it is
Aww, yeah

Come on, come on, thats just the way it is
Things will never be the same, thats just the way it is
Aww, yeah

We gotta make a change
Its time for us as a people to start makin some changes
Lets change the way we eat, lets change the way we live
And lets change the way we treat each other
You see, the old way wasnt working so its on us to do
What we gotta do, to survivem

And still I see no changes, cant a brother get a little peace?
Theres 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 aint never did a crime, I aint have to do
But now, Im back with the facts givin em back to you
Dont 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 cant touch this
I dont trust this, when they try to rush I bust this
Thats the sound of my tool, you say it aint cool?
My mama didnt 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, thats the way it is
Thats just the way it is
Things will never be the same, thats just the way it is
Aww, yeah
Thats just the way it is
Things will never be the same, thats just the way it is
Aww, yeah
Some things will never change
