Changes

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?
I'm tired of
bein' poor
& 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 the trigger
kill a nigga
He's a hero
give the crack
To the kids
who the hell cares
One less hungry mouth
on the welfare
First ship 'em dope
& let 'em
Deal the brothers
give 'em guns
Step back watch 'em
kill each other
It's time
to fight back
That's what Huey said
2 shots
In the dark now
Huey's 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
2 distant strangers
And that's how
it's supposed to be
How can the Devil
take a brother
If he's close
to me? uh
I'd love to go back to
when we played as kids
But things changed
and that's
The way it is
come on come on
That's just
the way it is
Things'll never
be the same
That's just the way
it is oh yeah
That's just
the way it is
Things'll never
be the same
That's just the way
it is oh yeah
Come on
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
They'll be
acting right
'Cause both
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 ain't ready to see
a black President uh
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 stayin'
in the dope game
Now tell me
what's a mother to do
Bein' real
don't appeal
To the brother
in you yeah
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 that's the way
it is come on come on
That's just
the way it is
Things'll never
be the same
That's just the way
it is oh yeah
That's just
the way it is
Things'll never
be the same
That's just the way
it is oh yeah
We gotta make a change
it's time for us
As a people to start
makin' 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 brother
get a little peace
It's war
on the streets
& the 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 blacks
givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em
jack you up
Back you up
crack you up
And pimp slap 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 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 ain't cool
My mama didn't
raise no fool
And as long as
I stay black
I gotta stay strapped
& 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
that's the way it is
Uh that's just
the way it is
Things'll never
be the same
That's just the way
it is oh yeah
That's just
the way it is
Things'll never
be the same
That's just the way
it is oh yeah
Some things will
never change

Life Goes On

Life as a baller

We usta do them

Loc'ed out and

Get on tha roof

And blaze with me
2 in tha morning
And we still high

Screamin' thug

Before I passed out

But now ya gone

Taken risks while

While scheming on hits

But now you burried

Eyes bluried

At the cemetery
tho' memories fade

Bury me smilin'
with G's in my pocket
Have a party
at my funeral
Let every rapper
rock it
Let tha hoes that
I usta know from way
Before kiss me
from my head to my toe
Give me a paper
and a pen
So I can write
about my life of sin
A couple bottles
of Gin
Incase I don't get in
tell all my people
I'm a Ridah
nobody cries
When we die
we outlaws
Let me ride
until I get free
I live my life
in tha fast lane
Got police chasen me
to my niggas
From old blocks
from old crews
Niggas that
guided me through
Back in tha old school
pour out some liquor
Have a toast
for tha homies
See we both
gotta die
But ya chose to go
before me
And brothas miss ya
while you're gone
You left your nigga
on his own
How long we mourn
life goes on
How many brothas fell
victim to tha streetz
Rest in peace
