2Pac - Changes

I see no Changes, I……………….1 in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth living should I blast myself I'm tired of being ……………..2 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 a trigger kill a nigger he's a hero Give the crack to da kids who da hell cares da = ………… One less hungry …………..3 on a welfare First ship 'em dope let 'em deal to brothers Give 'em …………….4 step back let 'em kill each other ‘em = ………... Time to fight back thats what Huey said thats =………... 2 shots in the dark now Hueys dead I got luv for my brothers luv = …………. But we could never go nowhere 'less we share with eachother ‘less = ……….. We need to make some Changes Learn to see me as a ……………..5 instead of two distant strangers And dats how its supposed to be dats = ………… How could I ever take a brother if he's close to me, uh I love to go back to when we ………………6 as kids But things change, and thats the way it is

[Chorus]x2 Thats just the way it is... Things will never be the same.... Thats just the way it is...

Ahhh yeah

I see no changes, all I see is racist faces Misplaced ……………7 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 ……………..8 they'll be acting right Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight smokin’ = …….. And only time we deal is when we ……………9 each other It takes skills to be real, time to heal each other And though it seems heaven sent We ain't ready, to see a black President, huh It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact ain’t = ………… The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks But some ……………10 will never change Try to show another way but stayin' in da …………….11 game Tell me whats a mother to do being real don't appeal to da brother in you Ya gotta operate the easy way gotta = ………... “I made a G today” But you made it in a sleazy way Sellin' dope to the ……………. 12 “I gotta get paid” Well hey, that way it is

[Chorus]x2

[2Pac Talking] We need to make some Changes We need to ………… 13 the way we eat, the way we live and the way we treat eachother See, the old way wasn't workin, so its on us to do what we gotta do to survive

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 a war on poverty They got a war on drugs so the …………14 can bother me I ain't never did no ………. 15 I ain't have to do But now I'm back on the track givin' it back to you Don't let 'em jack you, back you up smack you up and pimp slap you up You gotta learn to hold your own They get jealous when they see you with your mobile phone I tell the cops can't touch this I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this Sound on the 2, they say it ain't cool My momma didn't raise no ……….. 16 And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped and never get to lay back I always gotta worry about the payback From some buck that I roughed up way back Coming back after all these years Ratta-tat-tat-tat-tat And thats the way it is

[Chorus]
