TUPAC’S LEGENDARY SONG:- CHANGES
• Lyrics: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 and 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 and 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
Two 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 two distant
strangers
And that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
But things changed, and 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
Aww yeah
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
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, uhh
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
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 hey, well that's the way it is
CONTINUATION…….
• That's just the way it is You gotta learn to hold ya own
Things will never be the same They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
• That's just the way it is That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is My mama didn't raise no fool
Aww yeah And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
• We gotta make a change And I never get to lay back
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. 'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live Some buck that I roughed up way back
And let's change the way we treat each other. Comin' back after all these years
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
What we gotta do, to survive. Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh
That's just the way it is
• And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace Things will never be the same
It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs That's just the way it is
So the police can bother me Aww yeah
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do That's just the way it is
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you Things will never be the same
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
Crack you up and pimp smack you up That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
Some things will never change
BIOGRAPHY:-
• Rapper. Actor. Activist. Thug. Poet. Rebel. Visionary. Though his recording career lasted just five years, Tupac
Amaru Shakur (1971-1996) is one of the most popular artists in history, with over 75 million records sold
worldwide. More than half of his eleven studio albums sold over three million copies in the U.S., and both
1996’s All Eyes on Me and his Greatest Hits collection have been certified diamond, surpassing the ten-million
mark and placing them among the top-selling albums of all time.
• Intent on escaping Baltimore’s violence, his family relocated to Marin City, California when he was 17. He
hooked up with the popular Bay Area rap crew Digital Underground, starting as a roadie and back-up dancer,
and eventually working his way up to contributing a verse to the 1991 hit “Same Song,” his recorded debut.
Tupac was signed to Interscope Records by Tom Whalley (who still oversees his estate today), and his first solo
album, 2Pacalypse Now, arrived a few months later, generating both acclaim and controversy. Though the
single “Brenda’s Got a Baby” demonstrated his empathy and conscience, the album’s unsparing examinations
of street violence and police harassment led to a public condemnation by Vice President Dan Quayle.
• Tupac shakur was born on 16th of June, 1971, in East Harlem, New York, United states. Tupac had
unfortunately passed away in 13th of September 1996, in university of medical centre, Las Vegas, United states.
