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, livin' on the edge My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch Cops give a damn about zero 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 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 That's just the way it is Things will never be the same That's just the way it is Aww, yeah 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 changed, that's the way it is You're my brother, you're my sister, no (That's just the way it is) The way it is, the way it is Some things will never change
