| [00:18.90] | is life worth living should I blast myself? |
| [00:21.07] | I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black |
| [00:23.78] | my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch |
| [00:25.53] | Cops give a damn about a negro |
| [00:27.88] | pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero |
| [00:30.16] | Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares |

| [00:34.56] | First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers |
| [00:36.42] | give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other |
| [00:38.84] | It's time to fight back that's what Huey said |
| [00:40.99] | 2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead |
| [00:42.35] | I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere |
| [00:45.17] | unless we share with each other |
| [00:46.63] | We gotta start makin' changes |
| [00:48.14] | learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers |
| [00:51.17] | and that's how it's supposed to be |
| [00:53.47] | How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? |
| [00:55.29] | I'd love to go back to when we played as kids |
| [00:58.47] | but things changed, and that's the way it is |

| [01:31.93] | I see no changes all I see is racist faces |
| [01:36.80] | misplaced hate makes disgrace to races |
| [01:38.86] | We under I wonder what it takes to make this |
| [01:41.04] | one better place, let's erase the wasted |
| [01:42.63] | Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right |
| [01:45.74] | 'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight |
| [01:47.61] | and only time we chill is when we kill each other |
| [01:50.07] | it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other |
| [01:52.36] | And although it seems heaven sent |
| [01:53.78] | We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh |
| [01:56.52] | It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact |
| [01:58.20] | the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks |
| [02:01.06] | But some things will never change |
| [02:02.45] | try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game |
| [02:05.28] | Now tell me what's a mother to do |
| [02:07.08] | bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you |

| [02:52.15] | We gotta make a change... |
| [02:53.01] | It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. |
| [02:56.95] | Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live |
| [03:01.29] | and let's change the way we treat each other. |
| [03:03.73] | You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do |
| [03:06.23] | what we gotta do, to survive. |
| [03:08.07]3] | |
| [03:09.14] | And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace |
| [03:11.35] | It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East |
| [03:13.83] | Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs |
| [03:16.85] | so the police can bother me |
| [03:18.47] | And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do |
| [03:21.14] | But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you |
| [03:23.21] | Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, |
| [03:25.26] | crack you up and pimp slap you up |

| [03:38.33] | my mama didn't raise no fool |
| [03:40.31] | And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped |
| [03:42.43] | & I never get to lay back |
| [03:44.51] | 'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs |
| [03:46.88] | some buck that I roughed up way back |
