Verse 1:
(n.C)
Come on, come on,
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) Dsus4I (xx0233@1)see no changes; wake up in the morning and I ask my-self;
Csus2 (x35533@1) G"Is (320003@1)life worth living? Should I blast my-self?"
D (xx0232@1) CI'm (x32010@1)tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black.
AmMy (x02210@1)stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch.
Em (022000@1) Dsus4Cops (xx0233@1)give a damn a-bout a ne-gro?
Csus2 (x35533@1) GPull (320003@1)the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a he-ro.
D (xx0232@1) CGive (x32010@1)the crack to the kids; who the Hell cares?
One less hungry mouth on the welfare.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers,
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2 (x35533@1)Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1)"It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said;
Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) Dsus4 (xx0233@1)I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere,
Csus2Unless (x35533@1)we share with each other.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1)We gotta start makin' changes;
C (x32010@1) AmLearn (x02210@1)to see me as a brother 'stead of two distant strangers.
EmAnd (022000@1)that's how it's supposed to be;
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2How (x35533@1)can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) Csus2 (x35533@1)I'd love to go back to when we played as kids,
But things changed, and that's the way it is.
Chorus 1:
G (320003@1) Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1)Come on, come on, that's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Things'll never be the same.
G Fmaj7 C
That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Ah, yeah.
G Fmaj7 C
That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Things'll never be the same.
G Fmaj7 C
That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Ah, yeah.
Verse 2:
Am (x02210@1) EmI (022000@1)see no changes; all I see is racist faces,
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2 (x35533@1) G (320003@1)Misplaced hate makes dis-grace to races we under.
D (xx0232@1) CI (x32010@1)wonder what it takes to make this one better place;
Let's erase the wasted.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) Dsus4 (xx0233@1)Take the evil out the people; they'll be acting right,
Csus2 (x35533@1) G'Cos (320003@1)both black and white are smokin' crack to-night.
D (xx0232@1) CAnd (x32010@1)only time we chill is when we kill each other;
It takes skill to be real; time to heal each other.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)And although it seems Heaven sent,
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2We (x35533@1)ain't ready to see a black President, uh.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1)It ain't a secret; don't con-ceal the fact;
CThe (x32010@1)peni-tentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)But some things will never change;
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2Try (x35533@1)to show another way, but they stayin' in the dope game.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1)Now tell me what's a mother to do?
CBein' (x32010@1)real don't appeal to the brother in you.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)You gotta operate the easy way;
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2 (x35533@1) G"I (320003@1)made a G today", but you made it in a sleazy way.
D (xx0232@1) CSellin' (x32010@1)crack to the kids; "I gotta get paid",
Well, hey, well that's the way it is.
Chorus 2:
G (320003@1) Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1)Come on, come on, that's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Things'll never be the same.
G Fmaj7 C
That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Ah, yeah.
G Fmaj7 C
That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Things'll never be the same.
G Fmaj7 C
That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Ah, yeah.
Verse 3:
Am (x02210@1) EmWe (022000@1)gotta make a change;
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Gsus4 (3x0013@1)It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
D (xx0232@1) CLet's (x32010@1)change the way we eat, let's change the way we live,
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)And let's change the way we treat each other.
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1)You see the old way wasn't working,
Gsus4 (3x0013@1) D (xx0232@1) CSo (x32010@1)it's on us to do what we gotta do to sur-vive.
Am (x02210@1) EmAnd (022000@1)still I see no changes; can't a brother get a little peace?
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2 (x35533@1) GThere's (320003@1)war on the streets and the war in the Middle East.
DInstead (xx0232@1)of war on poverty,
CThey (x32010@1)got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) Dsus4 (xx0233@1)And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do,
Csus2 (x35533@1) GBut (320003@1)now I'm back with the facts, givin' 'em back to you.
D (xx0232@1) CDon't (x32010@1)let 'em jack you up, back you up,
Crack you up and pimp smack you up.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)You gotta learn to hold ya own;
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2They (x35533@1)get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone.
G (320003@1) DBut (xx0232@1)tell the cops they can't touch this;
CI (x32010@1)don't trust this, when they try to rush, I bust this.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1)That's the sound of my tool;
Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Csus2You (x35533@1)say it ain't cool, but mama didn't raise no fool.
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1)And as long as I stay black,
CI (x32010@1)gotta stay strapped and I never get to lay back.
Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) Dsus4 (xx0233@1)'Cos I always got to worry 'bout the pay-back,
Csus2 (x35533@1) GSome (320003@1)buck that I roughed up way back,
DComin' (xx0232@1)back after all these years.
CRat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat! (x32010@1)That's the way it is, uh.

That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Ah, yeah.
G Fmaj7 C
That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Things'll never be the same.
G Fmaj7 C
That's just the way it is,
G Fmaj7 C
Ah, yeah.
