I see no changes
Wake up in the morning and I ask myself
"Is life worth living?" I can hardly tell
Everywhere I turn, it's another assumption
In this world, it's hard for a brother to function
'Cause they don't care about a black man
So I keep my foot on the pedal, never relaxin'
Lock away the youth, tell me, who the hell cares?
Yeah, it's conflict, never worried about our welfare
Judged and assumed that we hardly knew
Split us apart, now you argue the path I choose
Well, what kind of choice do I have?
Got a target on my back because I'm black, I'm askin' you
Could you understand why we stay confused?
I don't do it for the fame or jewels
And the truth is, I'd love to go back to how we used to live
But things change, but that's the way it is
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Oh, yeah
Still, I see no changes
And they can never give me a reason
They don't wanna hear my side, deny my right to be equal
So we stuck in a jam, takin' orders from a
Man that don't wanna understand my people
But who we are fell apart, now it's
Darker and harder to see what the use is
But my mind is my weapon, I'ma use it
Otherwise, I'll lose and get used for amusement
'Cause I'm black, when I'm mad, it's an overreaction
I'm not allowed to be drastic, but I use the pain to spark the flame
Light it like a matchstick, I know the power of my blackness
And I can see the haters, racist faces
Misplaced hate toward the colour that I came in
And though we make mistakes, I pray a change appears
But 'til it does, it's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Oh, yeah
We gotta make a change (Gotta make a change)
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
