Should I blast myself? I'm
And even worse, I'm black,
So I'm looking for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull a trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero
Get a crack to the kids who the hell cares
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
don't let em deal with brothers
It's time to fight back, that's what
Two shots in the dark, now
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
And that's how it's sup posed to be
How can a devil take a brother
I let it go back to when we played
as kids but then it changed
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is, oh yeah
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
We under, I wonder what it
One better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people,
Cause vote black and white,
and smoke a crack tonight
And the only time we chill
is when we kill each other
It takes skill to be real,
And although it seems evident,
It ain't a secret or concealed, a fact
The penitentiary's packed
and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
but you're staying in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
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
That's just the way it is,
things will never be the same
That's just the way it is,
That's just the way it is,
things will never be the same
That's just the way it is, oh yeah
It's time for us as a people to start
Let's change the way we eat,
let's change the way we live
You see the old way wasn't working
And still I see no changes
Can a brother get a little peace?
It's war on the streets and a war in the
Instead of war on poverty
They got a war on drugs so
And I ain't never did a crime,
But now I'm back with the facts,
Don't let them jack 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 the cops I can't touch this
when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool,
But mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black,
And I never get to lay back
Cause I always got to worry
Coming back after all these years
Ride it tap, tap, tap, tap
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Oh my, you're my brother,
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
