Intro:

A minorAm Em, G/DG/D C, Gadd9Gadd9 D, Cadd9Cadd9 (x3)

Verse 1:

(n.C)
 Come on, come on,
     A minorAm           E minorEm          Dsus4Dsus4
I see no changes; wake up in the morning and I ask my-self;
            Csus2Csus2       G+G
"Is life worth living? Should I blast my-self?"
          D MajorD            C majorC
I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black.
                        A minorAm
My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch.
          E minorEm    Dsus4Dsus4
Cops give a damn a-bout a ne-gro?
         Csus2Csus2          G+G
Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a he-ro.
           D MajorD         C majorC
Give the crack to the kids; who the Hell cares?
One less hungry mouth on the welfare.

A minorAm       E minorEm
 First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers,
Dsus4Dsus4        Csus2Csus2
 Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other.
G+G          D MajorD            C majorC
 "It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said;
Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead.
A minorAm         E minorEm            Dsus4Dsus4
 I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere,
     Csus2Csus2
Unless we share with each other.
G+G           D MajorD
 We gotta start makin' changes;
     C majorC                     A minorAm
Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of two distant strangers.
          E minorEm
And that's how it's supposed to be;
      Dsus4Dsus4            Csus2Csus2
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
G+G        D MajorD             Csus2Csus2
 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+G   Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC
 Come on, come on, that's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      Things'll never be the same.
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
  Ah,  yeah.

G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      Things'll never be the same.
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
  Ah,  yeah.

Verse 2:

A minorAm          E minorEm
I see no changes; all I see is racist faces,
Dsus4Dsus4           Csus2Csus2       G+G
 Misplaced hate makes dis-grace to races we under.
         D MajorD         C majorC
I wonder what it takes to make this one better place;
Let's erase the wasted.
A minorAm           E minorEm            Dsus4Dsus4
 Take the evil out the people; they'll be acting right,
          Csus2Csus2           G+G
'Cos both black and white are smokin' crack to-night.
         D MajorD             C majorC
And only time we chill is when we kill each other;
It takes skill to be real; time to heal each other.

A minorAm           E minorEm
 And although it seems Heaven sent,
     Dsus4Dsus4        Csus2Csus2
We ain't ready to see a black President, uh.
G+G               D MajorD
 It ain't a secret; don't con-ceal the fact;
     C majorC
The peni-tentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks.
A minorAm          E minorEm
 But some things will never change;
    Dsus4Dsus4           Csus2Csus2
Try to show another way, but they stayin' in the dope game.
G+G           D MajorD
 Now tell me what's a mother to do?
   C majorC
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you.
A minorAm           E minorEm
 You gotta operate the easy way;
     Dsus4Dsus4       Csus2Csus2        G+G
"I made a G+G today", but you made it in a sleazy way.
           D MajorD         C majorC
Sellin' crack to the kids; "I gotta get paid",
Well, hey, well that's the way it is.

Chorus 2:

G+G   Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC
 Come on, come on, that's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      Things'll never be the same.
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
  Ah,  yeah.

G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      Things'll never be the same.
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
  Ah,  yeah.

Verse 3:

A minorAm   E minorEm
We gotta make a change;
D MajorD           C majorC              Gsus4Gsus4
 It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
         D MajorD   C majorC
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live,
A minorAm              E minorEm
 And let's change the way we treat each other.
D MajorD        C majorC
 You see the old way wasn't working,
    Gsus4Gsus4        D MajorD        C majorC
So it's on us to do what we gotta do to sur-vive.

A minorAm            E minorEm
And still I see no changes; can't a brother get a little peace?
    Dsus4Dsus4           Csus2Csus2       G+G
There's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East.
         D MajorD
Instead of war on poverty,
      C majorC
They got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
A minorAm            E minorEm          Dsus4Dsus4
 And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do,
             Csus2Csus2           G+G
But now I'm back with the facts, givin' 'em back to you.
       D MajorD           C majorC
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
Crack you up and pimp smack you up.

A minorAm         E minorEm
 You gotta learn to hold ya own;
     Dsus4Dsus4              Csus2Csus2
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone.
  G+G            D MajorD
But tell the cops they can't touch this;
    C majorC
I don't trust this, when they try to rush, I bust this.
A minorAm           E minorEm
 That's the sound of my tool;
         Dsus4Dsus4         Csus2Csus2
You say it ain't cool, but mama didn't raise no fool.
G+G         D MajorD
 And as long as I stay black,
    C majorC
I gotta stay strapped and I never get to lay back.
A minorAm          E minorEm         Dsus4Dsus4
 'Cos I always got to worry 'bout the pay-back,
         Csus2Csus2     G+G
Some buck that I roughed up way back,
         D MajorD
Comin' back after all these years.
   C majorC
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat! That's the way it is, uh.

Chorus 3:

G+G   Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC
 Come on, come on, that's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      Things'll never be the same.
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
  Ah,  yeah.

G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      Things'll never be the same.
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
      That's just the way it is,
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
  Ah,  yeah.
