[Intro]
Come on, come on

[Verse 1]
I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth livin'? Should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor, living on the edge
My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about [?]
Pull the trigger, kill a brother, 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 to brothers
Give 'em guns, step back, watch 'em kill each othеr
"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said
Two shots in the dark, now Huеy's dead

[Chorus]
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
I got love for my brothers
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? Uh
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
But things change, that's the way it is
[Outro]
You're my brother, you're my sister, no (That's just the way it is)
Way it is, way it is (Oh yeah)
Some things will never change
