'Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat,' that's the way it is 'Cause I always got to worry ’bout the payback That's the sound of my tool, you say it ain't coolĪnd as long as I stay Black, I gotta stay strapped I don't trust this, when they try to rush, I bust this They get jealous when they see you with your mobile phone They got a war on drugs so the police can bother meĪnd I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to doīut now I'm back with the facts, givin' it back to you (Ooh) It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East (Ooh, yeah) So it's on us to do what we gotta do to surviveĪnd still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace? It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changesĪnd let's change the way we treat each other Sellin' crack to the kids (Oh, oh), 'I gotta get paid' (Oh) 'I made a G today,' but you made it in a sleazy way Try to show another way, but you stayin' in the dope game (Ooh)īein' real don't appeal to the brother in you (Yeah) The penitentiary's packed and it's filled with Blacksīut some things will never change (Never change) It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact We ain't ready to see a Black president, uh (Oh, ooh)

It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other ’Cause both Black and White are smokin' crack tonightĪnd the only time we chill is when we kill each other (Kill each other)

Take the evil out the people, they'll be actin' right We under, I wonder what it takes to make this I see no changes, all I see is racist faces

(Never be the same, yeah, yeah, yeah, aww, yeah) That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is, the way it is) That's just the way it is (That's the way it is, what?) I'd love to go back to when we played as kidsīut things change, and that's the way it is How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? Uh Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers 'It's time to fight back,' that's what Huey saidīut we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other Give ’em guns, step back, watch ’em kill each other 'Give the crack to the kids, who the hell cares?įirst ship ’em dope and let ’em deal to brothers Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch I'm tired of bein' poor and, even worse, I'm Black Is life worth livin'? Should I blast myself? I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself Fast forward to 2021, 'Changes' has integrated itself into the meme culture on TikTok with the well-known bar 'I see no changes' marking the comedic lack of progression within the government, relationships and body goals.Ĭheck out the lyrics to Tupac Shakur's 'Changes' below.
