Tupac Shakur - Changes

I see no c^Amhanges, wake up in t^Emhe morning and I ask myself ^D Is life worth li^Cadd9vin'? Should I blast myself? ^GI'm tired of bein' ^Dpoor and, even worse, I'm b^Cadd9lack ^Cadd9My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snat^Amch Cops give a da^Emmn about a ne^Dgro Pull the trigger, kill a n^Cadd9igga, he's a h^Amero "Give the crack to the k^Emids, who the hell care^Ds? One less hungry ^Cadd9mouth on the welfa^Gre!" ^AmFirst ship 'em do^Empe and let 'em deal to b^Drothers Give 'em guns, step ^Cadd9back, watch 'em kill each o^Gther "It's time to fight b^Dack," that's what Huey ^Cadd9said Two shots in the ^Ddark, now Huey's de^Amad I got love for my b^Emrother But we can never g^Do nowhere unless we s^Cadd9hare with each other ^GWe gotta start makin' c^Dhanges Learn to s^Cadd9ee me as a brother instead of t^Dwo distant stra^Amngers And that's how it's supp^Emosed to be How can the D^Devil take a brother if he's c^Cadd9lose to me? ^AmI'd love to go ba^Emck to when we played as ^Dkids But things ch^Cadd9ange... and that's the way it ^Gis

I see no c^Amhanges, all I see is^Em racist faces ^DMisplaced hate makes ^Cadd9disgrace to races ^GWe under, I wonder ^Dwhat it takes to make this ^Cadd9One better place, let's e^Amrase the wasted Take the ^Emevil out the people, they'll be ^Dactin' right ‘Cause both^Cadd9 black and white are smokin' cr^Amack tonight And the only time we ^Emchill is when we k^Dill each other It takes s^Cadd9kill to be real, time to hea^Gl each other And altho^Amugh it seems heav^Emen-sent We ain't re^Dady to see a black pr^Cadd9esident It ain't a s^Gecret, don't conc^Deal the fact The penitentiary'^Cadd9s packed and it's filled with b^Dlacks ^AmBut some things will nev^Emer change Try to sh^Dow another way but you st^Cadd9ayin' in the dope game Now tell^D me, what's a moth^Cadd9er to do? ^N.C.Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you ^AmYou gotta operate the ^Emeasy way "I made a G today," but y^Dou made it in a sleaz^Cadd9y way ^AmSellin' crack to the^Em kids "I gotta get paid!" —^Cadd9 well hey, but that's the way it^G is

And still I see no c^Amhanges; can't a brother^Em get a little peace? It's w^Dar on the streets and a ^Cadd9war in the Middle East ^GInstead of war on pove^Drty They got a w^Cadd9ar on drugs so the police can bother me And I^Am ain't never did a crime I ain't h^Emave to do But now I'm b^Dack with the facts, givin' i^Cadd9t back to you ^AmDon't let 'em jack you up, ^Emback you up ^DCrack you up and pimp-s^Cadd9mack you up ^AmYou gotta learn to h^Emold your own They ^Dget jealous when they see you with y^Cadd9our mobile phone But tell the cops they can't ^Gtouch this I don't t^Drust this, when they try to rush I^Cadd9 bust this That's t^Dhe sound of my tool You ^Amsay it ain't cool, my mam^Ema didn't raise no fool And as long as ^DI stay black, I gotta st^Cadd9ay strapped And I ne^Dver get to lay b^Amack ‘Cause I always got to w^Emorry 'bout the payback Some pu^Dnk that I roughed up^Cadd9 way back Comin' b^Gack after all these year^Ds "Rat-a-t^Cadd9at-tat-tat-tat," that's the way it i^Gs
