(intro) c’mon, c’mon

(Pac)
I see no changes
Wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth living should I blast myself
I’m tired of being poor, and even worse I’m black
My stomach hurts, so I’m looking for a purse to snatch
Cop’s  give a damn about a negro
Pull a trigga, kill a nigga, he’s a hero
Give a gat to the kids who the hell cars?
One less hungry mouth on the welfare 
First ship em dope and let em deal to brothers
Give em guns step back watch them kill each other
It’s time to fight back
That’s what Hewy said
Two shots in the dark, now Hewy’s dead
I got love for ma brotha
But we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin’ changes
Learn to see each other as brothers, stead of two distant stranga’s
And that’s how it’s supposed to be
How can the devil take a brother if he close to me
I’d like to go back when we played as kids
But things have changed
And that’s the way it is

(chrous)
(Pac and some singing boy)
c’mon, c’mon
that’s just the way it is
thing’s will never be the same
that’s just the way it is ohhh yeahhh
hear me
yeah
c’mon, c’mon
oh my, oh my
c’mon, c’mon
that’s just the way it is
thing’s will never be the same
never be the same yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah
that’s just the way it is
way it is, ohhhh yeahhh

(Pac)
I see no changes
All I see is races, faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace of races
We under, I wonder what it takes to make this
One betta place, let’s see race awaisted
Take the evil out the people they’ll be actin’ right
Cause more 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 aint ready to see a black president
It ain’t a secret don’t conceal the fact that penitentiary packed and it’s
filled with blacks
But some things will never change
Try to show another way but you stayin’ in the dope game
Now tell me what’s a motha to do
Bein’ real don’t appeal to the brotha in you
You gotta operate the easy way

(voice) I made a g today

(Pac)
but you made it in a sleazy way
sellin’ crack to the kids

(voice) I gotta get paid

(Pac)
but hey, but that’s the way it is

(chorus almost exactly same as above)

(Pac)
we gotta make a change (pause)
it’s time for us as a people to start making 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 working so it’s on us to do what we gotta do, to survive

And still I see no changes
Can’t a brotha get a little peace
Theirs war on the street and a 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 I’m back when the black’s given it back to you
Don’t let em jack you up back you up crack you up and pimp smack you up
You gotta learn to hold your own
They get jealous when they see you with your mobile phone
But tell a cop 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 aint cool
but mamma didn’t 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 payback
some gruff that i roughed up way bac
kcommin’ back after all these years
ra-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat, that’s the way it is

(Outro)

that’s just the way it is
thing’s will never be the same
that’s just the way it isway it iso
hhh yeahhhoh my
you’re my brotha, you’re my sista yeah
that’s just the way it is
just the way it is, just the way it is
thing’s will never be the same
you’re my brotha, you’re my sista
that’s just the way it is
ohhhh yeahhh(Pac)
some things’ll never change
