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 than black
My stomach hurts so I'm looking for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull the trigger, kill a ****, he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids, who the hell care?
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
First shoot and don't let 'em deal the brothers
Give 'em guns, sit 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 making changes
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers
And that's how it's supposed to be
How could the devil take my brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
But things change, and that's the way it is
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 that be acting right
There's more black than white that smoke crack tonight
And the only time we deal is when we kill each other
It takes skills to be real, time to heal each other
And I know 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 you're staying in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do?
Being real don't appeal to a brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
But you made it in a sleazy way
Selling crack to the kids
Well hey, well that's the way it is
And still I see no changes
Can't a brother get a little peace?
There's war on the streets and there's 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 giving 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 phones
But tell a cop they can't touch this
I don't trust this, when they try to rush, I bust this
At the sound of my tool, they say it ain't cool
But mama 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 gotta worry 'bout payback
Some punk that I roughed up way back
Coming back after all these years
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat, that's the way it is
Some things will never change
